Hello, so I recently made my first CMoy headphone amp, and the next step which I wanted to do was make a nice line out cable for my iPod to plug into the amp. I see many people with them on here. They're typically a short cable (3 inches or so) with the dock connector on one end and 3.5mm plug on the other. Well I had all the materials left over from a cable I made for my headphones, so I ordered a dock connector kit since it was the only thing I needed. Well, that thing is about the hardest thing to solder wires onto, haha. The pins are all so small and close together that I couldn't do it. First I soldered the ground, which after a slight movement of the wire, pulled the pin right out. So I was pretty much screwed at that point. I did notice there are two grounds on the connector, so I figured I could try the other one, but even then I ended up connecting the ground and right signal pin and I just gave up, haha. Not sure what I should do. Does anyone on here make them if I were to send them the cable, sleeving, and 3.5mm plug I'd like used? I would pay them the money for a dock connector plus some for the trouble of making it for me if they'd like. It's either that or I gotta buy one anyways, and I'd rather have a nice looking one that matches my headphone cable, you know? Thanks in advance for any help.
