As stated in the title, I wanna know if there's anybody else can makes high quality mini to mini cables or docks for the ipod. Now when I say high quality, I mean real expensive, top notch cables, not some $20 regular cables. So far I haven't really found anywhere else besides ALO.

I think there is at least one of the other sponsors who sells those. Something starting with 'Q'. But perhaps that's still to 'cheap' for you. 'Q' makes some really nice cables though.

Don't you like the ALO cables?

I have purchased both a Jumbo Cryo Dock to Mini and then a Female Phono to Mini from Ken at ALO. The Jumbo Cryo Dock now has about 35 hours on it and it sounds sweet and the Female Phone has less but it also sounds sweet.

Ken was easy to work with and I am enjoying his products and would recommend them to all. I just checked out the Wyvern AG-16 Mini to Mini and it goes look really nice. If you order one of the Wyvern AG-16 Mini to Mini cables I hope you will let us know what you think of it and does it require a burn in time?

No problems Aluren !

I got myself a nice one from Apuresound ([AK]Zip cables) and I can't wait to test it with my upcoming Portaphile V2^2 Maxxed.

Cables do improve with some burn-in time, 25-50 hours should be ok.

Personal experience is that ALO is the way to go if you're looking for the high end stuff.

I have also tried the AG-16 and AG-8 from Wyvern.

Still a favorite high end mini of mine is the Zynsonix EYS. Killer silver with a really great sound and believe it or not, an amazing midrange on a silver cable.

I have one of these (AG16) from my 60gb iMod to a Supermacro IV (maxxed out). The sound is amazing and so crystal clear...but I am not quite sure what is responsible for what part of that sound without some serious A/B'ing! The package is really good for me and classical music

Ken is wonderful to work with and builds a top quality product.
