Ipod/Iphone LOD cable under $30?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
can anyone recommend a LOD cable for an ipod and iphone preferably, but just ipod is ok too that is around or under $30? these are going from an unmodified 30gig ipod video or unmodified 16 gig 3G iphone through a slightly upgraded altoid tin cMOY portable amp and into a pair of AKG K701's, I know the small amp isn't the best for the headphones I have but this is my first set up and I want to take slowly, which is why I'd like to spend under $30 on my LOD cable if possible. thanks for the help!

please, if you think it is absolutely necessary to spend more on an LOD cable I would love to hear why, I am fairly new to all of this and if the general opinion is it is a horrible idea to get such a cheap LOD I will have to reconsider my options. but keep in mind like I said everything else in my current set up isn't top of the line yet either.

I got one of these on Ebay:

3.5 to ipod cable for headphone amplifier,black docking - eBay (item 270279091707 end time Sep-26-08 07:31:32 PDT)

That was the least expensive solution I could find for a short LOD > 1/8" stereo cable. The quality seems pretty good.
I bought several others for under $10 shipped, but those all had 4'+ long cables.

ive tried 4 or 5 cheap/mass-produced LODs in the past, and they were not great. the build-quality was bad usually, and they didnt last long. and the sq of some was just horrible due to the usage of crappy materials.

i would pay extra 20~30 bucks for custom made LODs. theyre usually built in better quality. you can choose the materials (dock, wires, plug, etc) and the exact length you want.
plus you get better customer service.
