Apart from price they are easy to find and (for me) more flexible as i can use different length 3.5mm mini jack to RCA cables.
I could not hear any difference......

What can I use to hide the junction between the RCA wire and the headphone wire, besides the obvious electrical tape? What's the name of those thingies?

Thanks. I was thinking of making a simple cable so I could bring it anywhere and connect it to any amplifier I want. A dock, even if small, would still be bigger than a cable. So, I guess the sound quality would improve if I used an LOD-to-RCA cable than merely plugging in the iPod to the amplifier using the headphone out.

I probably misled you, i am not talking about a table top dock, nothing audiophile, just a cheap little plug in affair.
I use this if i go to someone’s house with a boom box or if kids want to play their iPod through my home system.
As an easy to carry means of getting tracks from an iPod through a "sound system" it’s hard to beat, for a party - great, for serious or critical listening, forget it.

you can either use spaghetti tubes or shrink tubes

I've posted this before, but here's the pinout for the 30-pin connector: http://pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/ipod_pinout.shtml
All 30-pin connectors will have audio coming out of pins 2, 3, and 4. Impedance is about 100 ohms. The problem is with new 'Lightning' 8-pin connector, which is purely digital.
