Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 334 Registered: Jan-06 | if you are trying to use your computer as a song base and run the sound through the stereo then yes you can get wireless FM transmitters for like 10 bucks and your stereo will play from the radio all the songs that the computer is playing but they are not good over long distances. |

Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1328 Registered: Aug-05 | Is your stereo a shelf system? Nearly all of the newer shelf systems (this is one of the many reasons they're garbage) don't have RCA INPUTS. They have outputs, but lack the inputs... You could also for better sound quality, buy a sound card for your computer that has RCA outs. I've noticed that there is some loss of sound quality when using the headphone to RCA adapter, as I use my iPod on my stereo as well as a DVD player (for cd's) and the DVD player which is RCA out vs. the iPod which is headphone out has better sound quality. It's a minimal difference, but I notice it... |

Bronze Member Username: LewassBloomfield Hills, MI USA Post Number: 88 Registered: Jan-06 | That is because the output signal from ipods SUCKS. This is a widely known fact. I have a Monster cable that goes from a headphones jack to the white and red RCA audio male connectors. I plug it into anything with a GOOD sound output and it sounds PERFECT. It is CD quality whether coming from my PDA (High end model with good sound output), my Laptop, or just about anything else I've ever hooked to it. Just about the only thing that will sound bad through it is an ipod. |

Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1333 Registered: Aug-05 | I don't think it's necessarily the iPod's fault. If you put perfect quality music on there it's not a problem, but anything below 192Kb/s has issues. Why do you think most "real" CD's are burnt at bit rates of 1000Kb/s+! Yet again, wire is wire. Monster cable isn't going to change anything, because the copper they use is the same give or take VERY MINOR impurities is the same as the Radio Shack adapter I have. Normal people wouldn't notice this problem, I do, because I listen very intently everytime I play my system. |

Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1334 Registered: Aug-05 | The basic fact is...A phone jack converted to an RCA stereo output will have some lesser sound quality, than RCA to RCA. It's not just iPods that have that trouble either, it's ANYTHING with a phone type jack. Really though, the difference yet again is hardly noticeable, and probably to most, is in their heads... |

Anonymous | ipods signal sucks azz simple as that. |

Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 981 Registered: Nov-05 | just put a rca cable to head phone jack into the head fone port. or youmight just have audio out. so get an rca cable that will plug into whatever you need and then plug the rcas into your rca input of the stero system |

Bronze Member Username: LewassBloomfield Hills, MI USA Post Number: 100 Registered: Jan-06 | Tyler I disagree. I have ran my pda through that cable to a 5.1 system with 100 watts to each speaker and a 12 inch subwoofer. It sounded flawless to about 5% less volume than a CD could be turned up to. The difference is undetectable to the average person, and I am talking about only noticing after HUGE amounts of volume. Like picture shaking the entire house with perfect quality sound, and my HP RX3715 PDA at the source through this: http://www.monstercable.com/productPage.asp?pin=135 And note, with a brand new 40 GB Ipod Video, playing 256kbps MP3's, will sound crackly and less vivid without nearly as much volume as my pda. So if you connect to the headphones on an ipod, be warned! It's not crippling, just not nearly the quality that my PDA puts out... |

Silver Member Username: LewassBloomfield Hills, MI USA Post Number: 101 Registered: Jan-06 | Well, let me clarify, I agree with everything you said except that it isn't the ipod's fault. Because my experience tells me it is. Oh yea heres another issue, I have the sony top of the line earbuds that produce from 10 hz to 20khz, and they sound like SH!T on an ipod!! No joke. They sound amazing on my pda, and I haven't really tested them on anything else, but I did plug them into my brothers ipod and man, no good at all. It was like they went from the best sounding earbuds i've ever heard, to sounding more like the shitty headphones that come with the ipods..... But yea Tyler you are 100% right about all that other info. |
