Whiplash cannot build an aftermarket cable without an amp to test it with...

Craig has orders for it and will be available, but he cannot build them until he has an amp to test it.  I placed my order back in August, but everybody expected the amp to actually ship long before now.  So, until the product is released, no aftermarket products could be brought to market either, it's just a dependency.  Even if the specs are made available by JHA, which I believe has already happened, in the case of the cable, they can only be used for prototyping at best.

Laz, has Craig priced the jh3a cable yet?

Friend PMed him some time ago, it was 500$ for 48 inch twag V2.

That is beyond outrageous...

 

[daveDerek]

granted, it's expensive, but compared to a standard iem cable there's a lot more material in there!

Agreed, if true. I wonder why such a large price difference between that and the normal TWAG OM v.2 48 inches?  It can't be simply bcause the base outlay on the JH-3A is that much higher, please tell me that's not it..

Regarding the case/protection for the Amp unit, if you are going to carry it around in your pocket or another bag then have you considered using the Invisible Shield from zagg which you can cut to size to protect the whole unit.
I use it on all my portable electronics and below are pictures of a couple of amps I have protected with it and it don't add any further bulk to the units like any other option would.

 
the invisible shield is nice to protect the finish but it provides no real protective value other wise. cushioning seems highly desirable!

it's got a lot more cable, i think 4x as much.

Yeah, that is really expensive especially considering it is only 4 feet long!  The one thing that I'm really n ot sure about is how bulky the cable will be....there will be 8 strands that split into 4 going into each earpiece.  To me thats a little too bulky to wrap around the ear. 
 
The benefit of the JH3a stock cable is that its very tightly wound and not very thick.

You need four cables for standart JH cable. Here you need 4 cables for each side.

 

[daveDerek]

since it's triamped with 3 sets of dual drivers per earpiece, why this # of cables?

 

[Bina]

You have one cable for low, one for mids, one for highs and ground.
