    Hate to say this but I've just got a call for a job interview so I will not be attending.

    Noob looking for line-out dock cable

    I personally just got mine from Solozaudio.com for 150USD but they start from $50. There are a few people here who builds cables like stevenkelby who is highly rated. Probably should look around ALOaudio.com because they have pictures and some details about the difference with silver and copper...

    "Best value" iPod line out cable dock?

    From what I know using a LOD bypasses some crappy parts such as the internal amp so you get a much cleaner sound but is only suitable if you have an external amp so you can control the volume. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

    The Fifth Head-Fi Sydney Meet - Saturday 21st June

    Hmmm, I would love to come but since I've taken time off working I've been very busy... I'm only strictly available for the rest of the year and because I don't wake up during single digits only 12pm - 12am would be ideal. No but seriously I'd like to come but I'm no audiophile and I don't...

    Hm.... Legitimate?

    Yeah but that's why I only spent $99, see how everything goes and hey if they are bad I can stop other people here from buying from them. I use to source out dealers online and I can say that there are a few red flags but we'll see.

    Hm.... Legitimate?

    I've done a brief sweep across google and doesn't seem like anyone has reported them as being scammers but could be because they're new. Well I'd probably be able to tell you guys next week when or if they send me my E4C's, should of thought it through before paying but I can always call up my...

    iMod 80gig W/ Jumbo Cryo X Silver Dock , Emmeline Hornet Amp and Grado GS1000. Anything else I can do???

    It's just the classics come in 160GB and if my whole rig is going to be that tall then it makes no difference having an extra couple of millimetres for double the space. Also the classic faceplate is much more durable.

    Also does anyone know if I can fit an iPod video PCB into a classic and then perform a diyMOD?

    iMod 80gig W/ Jumbo Cryo X Silver Dock , Emmeline Hornet Amp and Grado GS1000. Anything else I can do???

    Yeah thats got me thinking maybe the GS1000's are a little out of my league for now, I really wanted the GS1000's for it's detail but if you say it's a little too finicky then I might reconsider. I wanted something that initially sounds warm but can also come up with some very high detail and...

    I'm still learning about these things so I think I'll buy a diy'ed one. The ones made by ALO look very professional but I like the rustic and custom look of the diy ones. One other thing, is the JXS dock going to work just as well on my iPhone and classic? It would be great if all the...

    Yeah I know if I get the v-cap I'll be practically carrying around the empire state building but doesn't really bother me, SQ is absolute paramount so I think I'll have to add the v-cap. I think thats the only thing I missed on my list. Can't wait!
