I've been looking at buying a portable amp for my iPod. I've mostly been looking at some starter amps, and I don't think I want to be spending more on a line out cable then on the amp.

To fit my case, the dock connector cannot be any larger than the stock ipod connector. Is there any place I can find a line out dock with integrated 3.5mm plug for ~$20-30US? Or is the only option to try and make one myself? Thanks in advance,

Jordan

You can take a look at ALO, but their dock will be expensive.
I'd suggest you to send TURBO a PM. He custom makes mini-mini cables and ipod line out dock which mini plug or jack. I own one and it's fantastic.
Of course that a quick search will return you a bunch of options ...

It seems that ALO website is down. Probably because Ken annouced that he was redesigning the website. Must be updating or something ...

the send station docs are a lot less (http://www.sendstation.com).

Turbo's docks/line outs are out of the OT's price range. (And mine as well, I am doing the same search)

also don't forget eBay there's some there too in that price range

Just informing that the ALO website is working normally.
BTW, it's beautifull ...

that last qables link is not in USD, is it?

Any other options?

Qables has an option up top to change the currency to U.S. dollars.

I may have found the cable I'm going to get. The Sik Ram Din:

It only costs $21.95. The only annoying part is the firewire cable, but I could remove it if I got too annoyed with it. It also looks like it uses the slim dock connector, so it should fit my case fine. But they want $16 to ship to Canada through USPS. I sent them an email, so'll I'll see if I can get cheaper shipping or not.

I don't understand how the cheapest option we've found so far has to include a firewire cable as well... there must be something similar with just a line out...

Try this, $15.00 USD, you can mod it to a mini stereo plug and or shorten it

This one from Cables to Go might be interesting if I could find it without horrible shipping to Canada.

They handed out free ones at the 2007 National (you need your own mini-mini).

That fit nicely in my budget. I forgot who donated them...sorry.
