Punnisher: I love the low profile LOD, but I'm too chicken to have a go myself. Could you possibly make me one if I gave you the parts? I'm in the UK if that makes any difference.

Hey Punnisher. I also would love to have one but have no desire to attempt DIY. Would you kindly consider making me one and if so, how much? I live in Maine, USA. Thanks.

Don't do that here and get him in trouble. Take it to PM.

25' 24 AWG Shielded Silver Kapton Teflon Wire Coax - eBay (item 230442384354 end time Mar-27-10 10:58:50 PDT)

are these good cables to use?

 

[Punnisher]

Sounds nice but it is coaxial cable, meaning two conductors. It's not really necessary for the LOD.

For simplicity I would stick to single conductor wire.

Keep in mind the gauge doesn't matter much. The smaller the wire, the easier it will be to fit in the LOD and ultimately solder. Use as small of wire as you wish, but don't go so small as to abandon durability.

okay thanks man,

50' 24 AWG Silver Kapton Teflon Wire Violet - eBay (item 230422182292 end time Mar-10-10 10:21:12 PST)

is that a better choice? (im talking about the whole silver kapton teflon deal) sorry im pretty new to this whole deal, so i want to make sure and get good components

Thanks for writing up the tutorial, it's very nice.

Kind of a newbie question but what is the benefit of using an LOD as opposed to a mini to mini interconnect or is there no difference in sound?

Thanks

The "dock" in LOD is just the local vernacular for "plug" or "connector". There is no difference. imho "dock" is a little misleading, but I'm sure others would disagree...

 

[phishhead92]

well im noticing in these "plugs, connecters dock" w/e you call them they are insanely expensive (150$ + retail) when you can make a quality one for around 40$ or less like ALO's is 195. even seen some for 250. its just a nice easy fix it seems like

That seller, navships, is a popular source for wire around here. People say that his kapton wire tends to be stiffer than the non kapton wire if that matters to you. Also you definitely don't want to use coax for a LOD. It'll be hard to solder the shield of the cable to the ground pins.

 

[phishhead92]

o alright, thanks for the help man, and i cant seem to find 32gauge wire anwhere, i need it for a diymod. any ideas?

 

[phishhead92]

I made my own dock (with blackgate NX Hi-Q 47uF 6.3V caps) it looks kinda ghetto right now but im going to home depot to get some epoxy putty tomorrow

Old version, i decided to take off the bling and put in some stability, (heatshrink tubing)

i put heatshrink over the mini plug because some paint scratched off, also this way its grippy

Ill post more when i finish with the epoxy putty,

As anyone tried this with a Fiio L1 LOD? Not sur ehow to get the thing apart without breaking it...
