Hello kevin,

Thanks for the quick response. CSA stands for cross sectional area( mm 2) of the conductors. I thought all cable was sold as  eg .5 mm2 or 'gauge'. I have a Russ andrews mini interconnect that I will probably use but I thought it might be a bit too big for the micro usb plug. I will look at conect audio to see theirs. I will let you know how I get on.

regards,
mkultr4

Yes, I was being dim !   The cable is Van Damme, composed of 2 insulated and 1 plain conductors, each of 7 strands OFC individually plated 0.18mm diameter (ie. 0.1mm2; total 0.7mm per conductor) within an overall fully lapped foild screen.

The size is just about right for this type of application - any thicker and it would be very difficult to terminate successfully.

Hope that helps,

Regards,

Kevin

Its not a fault, just the way it works,
unlike other devices with a propper headphone socket that includes an actual swich to route the audio, the tg01 neads to see a resistance of 4 ohms accross the headphone pins in the mini usb socket,to make it switch the audio, most amps phono inputs have an input impedence of 75 ohms - to large for the tg01 to sence, use a 3.5mm headphone splitter with headphones plugged into one side and the other to your amp.
