I am looking for a decently priced LOD cable for my iPod, currently a 2nd generation nano to connect to my Headsix.
I have seen these "budget priced" LOD and would like to know what you think of them and which one is better. Currently I am not interested on DIY due to lack of time.
Here are the contenders:

You should check over at HeadRoom. I believe they have a LOD around $20. They sell good stuff, and you can always call Tyll if you have questions.

Thank you. I found the it at SiK Black ram din for iPod @ HeadRoom - Right Between Your Ears for $21.95.
The only problem is that it has a firewire port I dont need and would only add bulk to a portable setting.

I wouldn't call any of those good deals.

PM one of the cable makers here and have them make you one. My first one was $35 from stevenkelby, and that one was longer than necessary for a portable rig, so you can probably get one cheaper. Also, that way you can have it made to your exact specifications.

I recommend dropping stevenkelby or barqy a line. I believe Punnisher is making some low-profile ones now, and there's also TURBO. I've used stevenkelby for them twice now, and I highly recommend his work.

I think the OP said no DIY because of time constraints. Although most DIYers I know are very fast.

I highly recommend that you contact StevenKelby with your budget and work something out. His worksmanship is top notch. Just purchased 2 cryo x silver cables from him for the price of one from ALO. Awesome service, awesome stuff.

Thank you all. I didn't know about these guys selling their own DIY cables. Great advice. Seems like my quest is over.

I'm using the Crescendo-i on my iBasso D2

I don't consider them budget at around $50++ but they are flexible and sound good. The workmanship is great by the way, better than the average ebay cables I've spent days looking at when I was at your spot.

There's quite a few models here. Which model have you tried?

My 1st serious listen to the iPod Classoc and Touch was a disappointment thru the phone jack. Esp the Touch, thin and sterile.

Not sure how much can one of these cables improve on the sound quality if I bypass the phone jack.

 

[techenvy]

can u hear the diff form Proel Copper-Silver Alloy compared to a SILVER PLATED HIGH STRENGTH ALLOY

 

[H-ermes]

This one without any hesitation....

1. This cable rocks ;
2. Craig is a great professionnal ;
3. But they cost more than your budget.

I did not try the cable you're looking for, but I do not regret my purchase at all.

Wow, 3 posts all raving about this LOD from you. Do you work for the guy? Did you get a discount on the LOD? Have you compared it with any others on the market?

 

[che15]

I just really like the product, and I compared it to 2 moon audio lod a silver and a cooper one and it outperforms both by a large margine. I do not work for the guy; I am just trying his new product and telling him what I think about it , he is really a nice guy to talk to about cables and music. Just giving Ideas to gilency like other people have.
