If the jack was connected directly to the iPod connector it would possibly make it all more solid/rigid. Ive been trying to think of how it would be done, extremely fiddly for one!

Qusp has been making LODs out of an epoxy putty material. I bet you could that to do what you have in mind. Maybe he can provide his opinion since he's worked with the material more.

yep totally doable in fact i've already started on one. of course you would have to make one for each rig/combo you have because there's no give whatsoever. but as far as the strength concerns; yes its def strong enough.. also got something else along those lines that i'm gonna drop on this thread in a couple of weeks

and Zephyr that wasn't your idea or punnishers the first one of those I saw was made by hans from QABLES if i'm wrong punnisher I appoligize but I remember seeing a thread where Hans donated one like that to someone that had been posting about the possibility of it. Hans said he'd have a go because it was interesting.

Hmmmm, a few questions for my first Mini-Mini and potential ESW9 recable.

I think i'm gonna go for the Mogami Mini Starquad, but what size Techflex should I use for it?

Also, anyone have any good pics of white cable / white techflex, or maybe even red cable / carbon techflex? Trying to decide which color combo I want as well

 

[qusp]

heres a few options; I dont use any pre-made cable all braids heres some options though may as well post these I havent posted in a while
jena with black techflex and neutrik mini

jena and cryo silver with clear techflex and switchcraft mini

jena and cryo silver with carbon techflex and silver switchcraft mini

low profile with jester techflex

just got some cool new colours but havent made anything yet

Hey can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere that sells those iPod dock connectors?

diyMod thread

Look under 9.1.0 -
I think qables is the best source for the connectors.

I prefer Ridax
iPod/iPhone Dock Connector ordering

Qables link:
Qables | High Quality Custom Made Qables

 

[qusp]

why ridax??? they used to have a larger range but not anymore. qables is cheaper, has a better range (doesn't have the female connector though) quicker service and shipping. and cheaper overall. the docks there are 20c cheaper at least and the large type ones have just come down to $1.60. not as cheap if you live in europe because of VAT but anywhere else; no contest

If only Hans sold those. I would buy them. Lol. Slim LOD connector with protruding buttons! I like.

 

[qusp]

you are truly a strange man myles IMO thats the ugliest dock ever made. its the only one that i've never ordered. I dont like the weird inset cable opening

LOD's don't need to look nice.

I'd choose ease of use over looks for an LOD anytime!

 

[qusp]

are the buttons too hard for you to push

difficult i know

my favorite LOD has the buttons removed. ie. low profile

I actually don't recall why I chose Ridax, but that's who I ordered from in the past. I've never reevaluated since the first order. For me, the worst part of DIY is sourcing parts and materials. I do a lot of research the first time I look for something, but then I make a bookmark and that's the end of it for that item

Granted, I'm not defending this practice, but that's what happens when you're lazy like me

 

[J.P.6]

My first ever interconnect, a 3.5 jack - RCA. Used Starquad and chrome sleeving. Sounds great
