I think I am going with the Revelation Audio labs umbilical, I have heard very good things about his products. Thanks in advance for your assistance on this matter.

I have that umbilical as well as the Ghent Audio JSSG360, both are very good.

Pin mapping for Legacy Wavelet DC input..

(Source Output) HDPlex LPSU Out: XLR3 3pin XLR FEMALE plug on cable, pin-2 is +VDC, pin-1 is GND, pin-3 is unused
*
(Destination Input): Legacy Audio Wavelet In: XLR5 5-pin XLR FEMALE plug on cable, pin-5 is +VDC, pin-3 is GND, other pins (1,2,4) are unused
*
So we have Pin-2 on XLR3 FEMALE at source going to Pin-5 on XLR5 FEMALE at destination for +VDC, Pin-1 on XLR3 source going to Pin-3 on XLR5 for GND.

I can add another testimonial for the Ghent Audio Gotham GAC JSSG360 DC cables. I use one on my EtherREGEN connecting to my UpTone Audio LPS-1.2, and one for my SOtM SMS-200 UltraNeo connecting to the Keces P3 LPS.

Ghent is good, is cheap, and great service from the guy. And... Pretty sure you will get it quicker from China, than from Brad in Florida

100% agree with that! But Brad will bless you.

SCAudio, thanks for the pin mapping for the Legacy Audio Wavelet. I tried calling Brad today and no answer, so I went to the Ghent Audio website and couldn’t figure which one to order. I emailed the company and told them what I needed, I’m sure they will get back to me. Again, thanks for the help with getting the right cable for the Wavelet.

You are welcome...in my experience having ordered one for my first Wavelet many years ago and then another for the second Wavelet I bought when returning to Legacy Audio very happily back in late 2018 is that Brad never picks up the phone or returns calls. Emails only...and sometimes you have to chase a bit. Same experience for a few people that also went with his umbilicals. Unfortunate but true...

The umbilicals are great, communications take a bit of effort.

Ghent,..you won't find the exact cable on the website but the base DC cable for mine was

“Custom DC-7N16C Neotech UPOCC 7N Copper G DC(JSSG360) Cable
Length: 3m, XLR female(3p) to XLR female(5p)"

Ghent should reply back and get what you need and send an invoice for the right cable.

Apologies to all for the off topic posts.

SCAudiophile, thanks again for the assistance on the cables. I ordered both the Gotham and Neotech 7n copper dc cables from Ghent. FWIW he said he is developing a silver version in the near future. It looks like my cables will ship out early next week.

Be mindful that it will likely take about 3 weeks to receive your GhentAudio cables. While he sends them out quickly, they sit in Customs in China for about 10 days or so.

Puma Cat, thanks for the heads up on the on the timeframe on the cables. I have had the upgrade bug lately and all the Shunyata Research power cables are still a few weeks out. What are your thoughts on interconnects. I am currently using Kimber Hero XLR’s, but have heard good things about the Alpha V2’s, also it seems that people are using the Wireworld products with good success, they would be used for my Mac gear. Any thoughts?
