So what LOD for iPod is everyone using?

I'm thinking of buying this: iBasso

Good enough? will I really hear a difference if I got this: Ultra Copper LOD ?

I use a $50 ALO dock. If you buy the iBasso you will still need a mini to mini so if you already have that, then it would be the less expensive option.

I used to have ALO Female LOD with CablePro Panorama Mini to RCA and now I am with ALO Zebra Wood Dock with ALO SS RCA Cable.

ALO Bling Bling

FANTASTIC LoD, was using a small mini dock that uses a mini to mini IC, very noticeable difference.

for iphone 3G: various DIY stuffs; jena 18AWG/cryo silver, cryo silver in silk, low profile jena/cryo silver. DIY crystal cables piccolino. I could go on

for DIYMOD: all DIY struffs, blackgate piccolino w/USB port, 18AWG jena, 18AWG jena/cryo silver, lowpro piccolino.

Large capped LOD. piccolino teflon VCAP dock with USB (for lisa), jena/cryo silver OIMP VCAP dock (for pico)

My favorites would be the piccolino wires with the VCAP dock at the top of course and then the jena/cryo silver combo. I like vampire too, but nowhere near as much. its too stiff. also playing with some new silver which has some potential.

I would stick to all in one LOD's rather than the Ibasso one. its one more possible point of failure that doesnt need to be there.

I started out using a Siik LOD I got from Headroom, But then I finaly made my own "Silver" LOD
I got the ipod dock adapters, 30g Solid silver wire in teflon sleeves and soldered it all together with a 3.5mm rt angle neutriks at the end.
Now from what I understand, silver makes the music bright and analytical and having tested it, I agree. Now if I can bring myself to solder up a Copper ground with silver rt + Lt or an all copper version I'll let you know. But the soldering is very difficult for even the steadiest of hands and my hands are far from steady.

Well they are a head-fi sponsor and hence given some prominence on the site.

I'm surprised there isn't more of an organized showcase of custom cable makers myself.
