I just want a small white or silver interconnect to link my amp to my iPod. Mini to mini. Any suggestions?

Can you define your budget?
There's the ALO interconnects which are very reputable around here. There are also a few members that make IC and sell here on the forums. I bought a TURBO's mini-mini, which is beautiful very well made and sounds superb ...

It's not white and it's not silver, but it will transfer the signal from your ipod to your amp and it will sound just as good as any other cable

In your opinion, of course

I can make you one, PM sent.

I have a suggestion. Don't amp the headphone out. Unless you have an imod, you need an ipod dock connector to mini cable. I could tell the headphone out on an ipod sucks with about a minute's listen.

Oh yeah good point, didn't spot that. You definitely want a line out dock then. Either ALOaudio.com or someone else. Not me though

Basically you have three main groupings: copper, silver, and silver plated copper. Copper is the mellower of the three, while silver is the fastest and allows the higher frequencies to have more "energy".

There are a lot of other considerations such as cryo cables, casing construction, type/size of plug, etc. There is also price, from $15 to $400 (22 carat gold).

I think that a good compromise would be a silver plated copper, perhaps from one of the DIYers here. If this is your first cable I would suggest keeping the cost under $35 or so, just in case you decide to go into a different route later. Of course if you have the dough go for whatever fancies your boat.
