Help. I do not understand amps and cables.
1. What is the name of the cable I need to make this combination work.
2. What is the most reasonable priced cable that will do a good job. (Good= paying more will yeild only minimal or "no" sound difference). I guess I prefer it not be big, stiff and ugly.
3. If I purchase form ALO the RX+ ALO OCC 18awg Triple Pipe cable, is that going to be a good choice by my definition of "Good"?
4. RLO calls it a "Line Out Dock Cable" Is that the name I'm looking for?

Do you mean what cable to connect your headphones to the amp? Or what cable to connector your source, such as Ipod?

O_o if your doing a ipod -> rx -> jh13s. it would be ipod -> Line Out Dock Cable -> RX -> then to the jh13s.

rx-> jh13s needs no new cable to work stock one is fine.

You'll need a platinum-inducted hydrocoil cable, sorry to say. They start out at $500 but that's only if you're willing to get the bare-bones 99.99999999999% truth free cables.

Understood: I need a Line Out Dock Cable, and no need to change the JH13s cable.
Now the remaining question is: do I really need to spring for ALOs Line Out Dock Cable, or will a less expensive one do the job well? If so, which one? Thanks.

Sorry I did not make it clear that my source is a new iPod Classic 160G and I'm looking for the cable to link it to the ALO RX amp.

A 3" cable is only worth buying if it costs over $100.

Sorry couldn't resist

Now for the real answer......?

If you look on the For Sale forums on here, there are alot of people selling LODs for less than half the price of the ALO cables.
Another good alternative to ALO would be whiplash audio(google it), their TWag cables(LODs and headphone cables) are very popular with the JH-13.
But I think you should do more reading on this site before you start buying stuff.
A CLUE!

That is basicly what I did when considering the JH13 & ALO RX. I just was not sure on cables. Thanks.

There's a well constructed LOD made by Fiio called the L1 you can buy on eBay for like 10 bucks. Do that.
