A simple mod to XP20
Hello,
Have anyone try this umbilical cord before ? 600$ , made of pure silver conductor inside. Wanna know how it sound like. Toga Last edited by jdandy; 05-26-2015 at 12:35 PM. Reason: Enlarge photo. |

It definitely improved my XP-20. It was like moving up the line into a better pre. Clearer, sharper, and more detailed. On another forum an individual bought three for his XP-30, and XP-25 phono pre. Plus he paid more since he needed longer lengths. Did the price go up? My .75 meter was $499.

Actually it was 699$ for 1.0 meters.
Now I am on the talk with him to make a pair for my Audio research pre amp. A bit complicate as I have to provide him the connectors. And it will be expensive for a pair of 1.50m that is required for me. The one for XP20 has been on order and paid for months, but I the cable has not arrived yet, And no reply from him ever since.. Curious. Toga |

I get the impression this guy is a one man shop. I found out about him on either this or another forum, and the length of time it took to get the cable was the topic. When I contacted him he said that while he did have a period where he got behind, he was now caught up, and had two in stock. Unfortunately, that conversation inspired other Pass owners to buy them. So when I placed my order he had to make it, and it took about a week. It is a well built and solid cable. The stock Pass cable is a throw away piece of plastic. This cable has two solid Mil-Spec DB-25 connectors with screws, not thumb screws, for a good EMI fit. The other individual who ordered three after I did did have to prod him a bit to get his, but now he is happy.

I exchanged email with him. He said he will be looking to hear from me. But in my last email, I mention about the other cable that I am waiting. Showing him all documents involved. And he has gone AWOL again. Just like it happened before with my friend. Is this business real ? Toga
P.s. The ordered has been made in July 2014. Last edited by TOGA; 10-15-2014 at 11:24 PM. |

Sure I can. It is not a secret. But AA not allow any link to direct sales web site. But this should be an exception case as I do not do it as an advertisement. But to make us aware of some Possible trouble. Please do not ban me haha. He replied eventually saying that " the first cable will be shipped soon, thank you for understanding " . We paid for umbilical cord since July, and he said it will be shipped soon. How can he stay in business with such slow Production rate. Pls google The company by the name screened on picture of cable above. Toga

In the home page, he has some excuses about this too.
So it didn't just happen to me. Even being hand made, the production rate should be one per hour. Not 3 months. But still I hope to get it. And I hope the wires are genuine pure silver as advertised. Toga |
