Very interesting. Thanks for the info.

Hi Steve, yeah, you've made some good points here. After extensive research for pure copper 3.5mm and RCA plugs, I've come to conclusion that even the well respected brand name from the likes of Oyaide, Viablue, Switchcraft etc...are all used either brass or bronze. But for the sake of helping...

what you said here are so true!! Finding some "silver" plated RCA plugs are rare as hen's teeth. Very few are offering plugs that pure copper core. Mostly are made from either brass or bronze. Now, these 2 metals are THE worst electrical conductivity as far as 'sound quality' are concerned. So...

No worries Zuhayr94...You've picked the right stuff for your pursuit of sound quality!! Let us know when you have them auditioned.

I don't live in UK so I don't know what site to recommend to you but, it seems that you have found some Japanese online. store. Japanese parts are nothing to complained about. Don't be too skeptic because you will missed out alot of things in life. Make sure that you''ll always pay by paypal. If...

Most RCA plugs or 3.5mm jacks are expensive because of brand name really. Anyways, go for plugs that are made from copper throughout with gold plated tips. Copper is the best electrical conductivity apart from silver. Gold has some kind of resistance that gives deeper bass response. You can find...

If you care about sound quality, than in absolute term, yes! When connecting the LOD to either your iphone or ipods, the sound bypasses the internal sound processor and therefore pass out as pure digital signal. Generally, external DAC processes sound quality far better than iphone/ipods :)

If you willing to go deep, I suggest you should go for the Alo mark III-B amp and coupled together with Cypher Labs -db or the -R DAC. Both -db and -R are made for iphones and ipods. Listening to music alone on the MKIII-B is very good. It has fantastic sound stage and sepetation. Add the -db...
