That amazon listing shows the mfg.r as "cables to go" From what I've seen, cables to go is one and the same as "Impact accoustics" See item in question on the Impact site here which I have purchased from before I learned of Monoprice. I would put them in the league of BJC.
I may try one of those myself.

Duckman,

Thanks. Great eye noticing that these are probably Impact Acoustics cables. They also make great cables. I'll go ahead and pick one of these up. This should hold me over until I can get one of these.

I have a 160 gig ipod and all of my cd's stored on it in apple lossless compression. With the Keyspan, I can have a whole house audio system using some extra speakers and an old Onkyo avr that isn't being used. Well, once I pick up a Niles speaker selector as well, I'll be all set.

- Nick

Interesting Nick. I have the RCA line in from the headphones hooked up to my Denon and can honestly say that I've never heard any noise introduced to the signal. It would be interesting to compare a dock connector's audio signal to that from the RCA.

I definitely find the dock connector to be much cleaner, though lower in output because it's a line out.

My wife also uses her I-pod connected via the headphone jack to her '06 stock Dodge Grand Caravan RCA inputs and it sounds great. Yes, the I-pod's volume is almost maxed out but we have also never heard any noise introduced as a result.
We picked up our cable for only ~$5.00 at a grocery store and we are very happy with it. Plus at that price we can throw one in every vehicle and have one lying around the house.

I just got a mini to rca cable from bluejeans. All my other sources are via hdmi. the mini to rca appears to introduce some noise "static?" into the music compared with the digital source. It isn't very bad, but noticable.

Hey Listener - I either got lucky with my 90 cent mini to RCA cable from Monoprice or I need to clean out my ears because I haven't heard the static introduced, though several other people have. (On the one hand, I'm glad I don't hear it, on the other, I'm starting to get a small complex that my hearing sucks) \:\)

Sorry to hear you're having the static effect too. I do have a direct dock connector in my car, but since that's a different stereo system than I have inside with my Axioms it's hard to compare apples to apples.

Depends on the apples and who they belong to.
