ojnihs Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 So I don't use my setup at home nearly as much as I'd like, so I'm selling off that shit. I've decided to go back to using a portable setup exclusively for both home and library use. My 3rd gen 10 gig iPod is still running strong (after battery transplant), so I'm looking for opinions on iPod line out docks. I don't particularly have the time to make my own (or to learn how to for that matter) and I don't want to spend a shit load of money, because I'd rather spend it on food and tuition. I was thinking about getting one of Alex's, but I just don't think I can dish out the $70 for one right now. Any suggestions or anyone want to make me one? While we're at it, anyone know where I can get a Ety P to S adaptor for cheap? (Yes, etymotic replaced my dead ER-4P's, thank you god!) Quote
hYdrociTy Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 I can make you one to showcase my awesome abilities. I call it the HUG & DANCE AUDIO SAUCE DOCK. Cotton Sleeved Silvar for best dielectricks and airy sound. Ill sell it for 70 bucks even though parts cost only 25. Do we have a deal? It will look something like this but with an ipod dock at the other end. Or you can buy my (GASP) alo one for 55 bucks shipped. 6 strands silver (3 groups of 2 wires) with switchcraft plug. Quote
bhd812 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 You want Cheap.. Look at Crossroads to see if they will sell you one of their lineout docks for cheap. they had these at the Sanjose national for $10. all you need is a cheap mini to mini and your all set. Quote
n_maher Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 If the Zune arrives and works well this weekend I'll sell you my SiK Din for next to nothing. Quote
n_maher Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 Zune. It's short for, seldomly used portable device that must be cheap and functional. I have gotten away from using my Ipod daily, heck some weeks I don't use it, so dropping 2.5x on a new one made no sense. [me=Nate]is audio broke right now...[/me] Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 BTW, glad to hear Etymotics replaced your ER-4P's. I don't know what I would do if my ER-4S's died on me as I use them just about every day. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 [me=Nate]is audio broke right now...[/me] Just sell your kidney. Quote
aerius Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 Just sell your kidney. Partial liver donation would be the better way to go as your liver can grow back while kidneys are gone for good. Quote
hYdrociTy Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 get nate maaaaaaaaher to make you a p-s adapter. i'm sure he could whip one up in a jiffy. lol i sound olde tyme. Quote
ojnihs Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Posted October 13, 2007 If the Zune arrives and works well this weekend I'll sell you my SiK Din for next to nothing. Next to nothing for the win! Hey Nate, let me know how the Zune works out. I personally could not use the thing, because I could never get my head around the fact that the wheel isn't a wheel. I kept trying to use it like the touch wheel but would just get frustrated at the fact that it was just buttons. Anyway, I'd be more than interested in the SiK Din and do you make P-S adapters? I'd be interested in one of those too, I can't stand the jack on the etys. I need a straight jack damn it! Quote
ojnihs Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Posted October 13, 2007 By the way, does the Din have a male 1/8 or a female 1/8? I'm hoping it has female 1/8. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 I'm pretty sure that Din has female 1/8. EDIT - Just looked at mine and it has female 1/8. Quote
ojnihs Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Posted October 13, 2007 I'm pretty sure that Din has female 1/8. EDIT - Just looked at mine and it has female 1/8. Thanks for looking! shite, i meant i hope it has male 1/8. may need to get that reterminated. unless of course there are some benefits to having it female. Quote
n_maher Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 By the way, does the Din have a male 1/8 or a female 1/8? I'm hoping it has female 1/8. Female 1/8", use whatever mini-mini you want with it. Quote
ojnihs Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Posted October 13, 2007 Female 1/8", use whatever mini-mini you want with it. good point, but doesn't that make the cable too long? Quote
n_maher Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 It was never an issue for me but I could see how it would be for some people. You should see if you can hunt down one of the HeadFest LOD's, there have to be a ton out there and they sound more in line with what you're looking for. Quote

ojnihs Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Posted October 14, 2007 didn't realize headroom has an iPod line-out adapter as well. anyone have any idea if it's worth the $35? would be nice to use a cardas mini-mini with it. Quote
ojnihs Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Posted October 14, 2007 you can have my Etymotic adapter for $20, if you want. consider it sold! Quote
bhd812 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 I mentioned the headfest (crossroads) adapter in the first page... Quote
bhd812 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 Let's see, the idea of my reply being towards Nates suggestion on the headfest adapter, vs. you being a dipshit. well maybe its both equal.. Quote
n_maher Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 I mentioned the headfest (crossroads) adapter in the first page... This might serve as a good example Billy of the fact that you have a tendency to spew so much bullshit that people don't bother reading your posts. Just a thought. Quote
jinp6301 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 pwned btw, i have one of those crossroads ipod docks and it randomly stops my nano when I use it. Cant really complain since its free Quote

Just a thought. figured people read past it but honestly I am not one repeating something that's has already been said or missing out on what has been said, just a thought. Quote

I repeated what you said to prove a point Billy. You've made such a habit of just dropping in to stir up shit and not offer any meaningful advice that people have pretty much started to ignore what you say, even when it is helpful. Me, I'm glad to see you start posting a bit more seriously since you've had experience with a lot of gear but it's probably going to take some time before people take notice. Quote
