quality cable/adaptor for Ipod to active speakers?
« on: 10 Jul 2008, 11:17 pm »
Building a basic but decent loft system with an Ipod paired with Paradigm Active 20 speakers and 3 meter rca interconnects.  Searching for a quality cable/adaptor that has 1/8" mini-stereo male plug to fit into an Ipod or computer, and splits on the other end with 2 female RCA plugs.  I have found various $3 options on the internet,  I think the "best" one I could find was by Acoustic Research for $15.   

Any suggestions?  I've tried websites at Blue Jeans Cable, Cardas, Kimber, Tara Labs etc. but no luck so far.

The quality of the Zu cable you listed is just what I had in mind.  Unfortunately it has 2 male RCA's,   and I need 2 female RCA's.   Any other suggestions?

Just a suggestion: you might want to enquire with Revelation Audio Labs about customising your cables to suit your particular need. RAL is well known for their Parable series of cables which have garnered quite a bit or praise.

I'm sure Zu can make a custom one for you also if you give them a call.
