Re: Auxilary input??

When it comes to patch cords for low level audio, one is as good as another really. If you're running an iPod or portable CD player into those inputs, you're not going to be able to hear any discernible loss or noise difference between a $3 Radio Shack cable and a $30 Belkin Pro Audio one.

Especially if you're using the headphone output of the audio source instead of the Line Out jack. The inherent noise and distortion of the crappy built in amplifier and audio controls on the iPod or CD player will cancel out any sound improvement a more expensive cable will try to compensate for.

Now, if you've got several thousand bucks in audio equipment in your truck, you might notice a SLIGHT difference, but at that point I don't think you'd be using the Aux In connections on the front of the deck now, would you?
