Cable kit to connect your iPod to any stereo or speaker system.
To connect your iPod to your home stereo or powered speaker system, you need the right cable to go from your iPod’s headphone jack or, even better, dock line-out jack, to the inputs on the speakers or stereo. Griffin’s iPod Home Connect Kit is a sure bet to get you hooked up right, thanks to its two cables with gold-plated connectors. Both cables have a miniplug on one end that can be plugged into your iPod or dock. The other end of the 6-foot cable provides left/right female RCA plugs, perfect for connecting directly to the inputs on most stereo receivers and amplifiers. The other end of the 7-inch cable provides left/right male RCA connectors, which can attach to an existing pair of stereo interconnects. Or you can connect the two cables together to get a single mini-to-mini cable that will let you plug into most portable and “computer” speakers. –Dan Frakes
