Revelation Audio Labs 'Precept' CryoSilver Reference AC mains cable

Description: So why do you need our power cable? Answer: THE PROBLEM: Without exception, in our decades of experience in designing world-class upgrade power cables to the high-end audio community, EVERY cable we have encountered, upon examination proves to be pitifully inferior in design and construction. These power cables are derived from off-the-shelf wires, made from inferior metals, extruded in poor insulators with terrible Dielectric Constant properties, which are products of machines that are designed to run wire and cable by the kilometer. This very inexpensive wire comes off a gigantic roll from mass manufacturers that make the most common, ordinary electrical wire. Moreover, multiple conductors of these wires are bundled in a single plastic jacket, in significant lengths in intimate near proximity, some carrying various extremely crucial and critical voltages, currents and grounds, others carrying power that is not as critical with their inherent ground and power buss noises. As these wires are in no way isolated one from all the others, this is the very arrangement conducive to each conductor pole inducing detrimental effects to each of the other conductor poles within the array, causing distortions, electrical noise and substantial losses of performance of each upon the next. The exterior of the cable may (or may not) be dressed up, connectors are installed, and there you have your typical so-called "high end audio power cable", packaged with your fine equipment to have the illusion of high-quality exquisiteness. This is the general wire and cable industry infiltrating into the special audiophile cable market. The gospel truth is this is not a high-end audio power cable designed and made with the same exacting attention to detail, standard practices and precise tolerances for fine music reproduction given to your equipment itself. THE SOLUTION - READ ON: 1.5-meter length Revelation Audio Labs 'Precept' CryoSilver Reference™ AC mains power cable. Furutech FI-28 15A U.S. plug and 15A IEC. All other connector versions are available.Featuring Ceramic MicroSphere™ conduit, our very latest revision TripleConduit™ design, augmenting isolation and separation of hot, neutral and earth poles each in its own separate and discreet conduit, minimizing the induced affects of one upon the others in the array.Crafted by hand with heart in Palm Coast, Florida, the United States of America.Audio cables with a soul. Our AC mains power cable upgrade far surpasses the performance enhancement of a complete component replacement. A high-performance, no-compromise power cable which merits use with your fine equipment.Now you can finally deliver quality power to the gear completely unaltered, uncorrupted, unpolluted and unhindered. This upgrade truly optimizes the performance and realizes the full sonic potential of the connected equipment. Our power cables are in use by many music lovers worldwide. You will be utterly astounded when you hear the huge improvements this cable makes to your music! Please visit our web site for a full thesis on our design technologies, but as a brief synopsis, this cable features: • Deep cryogenic treated five-nines (5N) ultra-pure solid core CryoSilver™ conductors • Air Tunnel™ air dielectrics • Transparent Teflon isolators • Progressive Hand Wrap™ discreet shields for each and every conductor pole, isolating each conductor/dielectric sub-assembly from all others within each array - eliminates EM effects, cross talk, and eddy currents and helically-woven stranded outer shieldings. All shieldings drained to the power supply end only - to carry absorbed internal and external EMI/RFI noise harmlessly away from the music. • Triple Ceramic MicroSphere™ conduits - another proprietary design feature - absorbs and dissipates both internal and external air borne vibrations, resonances and microphonics. Ordinary high-end cables are a major path for mechanical vibration to enter sensitive audio equipment. In addition, the effects resonance has on the performance of audio cables themselves is well documented. Audio frequency vibrations induced into the cable may create a state of microphony and transduce physical resonance into electrical resonance, polluting the audio stream. However the most harmful mechanical energy is actually generated internally by the electrical components comprising the audio equipment circuitry, consequently occurring precisely where the delicate music signal resides. These vibrations produce phasing errors that slur and garble the music, diminishing resolution and coloring harmonic equilibrium. To combat this phenomenon, the solution is proprietary amorphous ceramics - the conduit of this cable is filled by a special process with our proprietary Ceramic MicroSpheres™ (patent applied for, Revelation Audio Labs, Inc.), developed through and supported by a number of relevant NASA White Papers dealing with crystal lattices, expressly to defeat this menace to faithful music reproduction. This results in a cable that is virtually immune to the propagation of micro-vibration, and minimizes parasitic vibration of the equipment power supply and audio circuitry. This could be one of your most valuable weapons in your isolation arsenal. • Conductive Carbon Infused Composite (CCIC)™ outer jacket - this advanced technology material augments the EMI/RFI/EMF shielding of the cable. The negative affects that static electrical fields and charges have on audio cables is well documented. In addition to augmented shielding, crucially the Conductive Carbon jacket provides ESD (Electro Static Discharge) protection as it dissipates static fields and charges, also eliminating static electrical charges from accumulating in the first place, as their presence robs audio performance as it does with standard cable insulation. There are a number of products on the market, accessories if you will, that address static electrical fields on audio cables. Our unique design feature attacks the issue at the source through the proactive, preventative approach. We have been performing tests and trials at length for some time, with phenomenal results, employing Conductive Carbon Infused Composite as the outer jacket material. This material enhances EMI and RFI protection, but what this material provides above and beyond the protection of traditional shielding materials and methodologies is it provides Static Protection, guarding against the phenomenon of ESD (Electro Static Discharge). The material absorbs and dissipates static electricity charge build-ups, which occur naturally on common non-conductive materials (i.e. cable insulation). It is typical for these charge levels to be in the thousands of volts. All areas of audio performance are enhanced by removing static electrical fields and charges from the surfaces of cables. This feature also improves performance by removing from your system surfaces that build and hold static electric fields. Why do other so-called "cost-no-object" cable makers not use such a jacket material? You tell me. Would it be "cost"? • Highest quality high performance Furutech rhodium FI-28 plug and IEC connectors. • Prior to shipment the cable is fully conditioned on our audiodharma Cable Cooker, and connectors are treated with Furutech Nano Fluid contact enhancer. The internal solderless conductor to connector terminations are also treated with Nano Fluid during assembly. • 1.5-meter length (other lengths available) • Packed for protection in our beautiful custom handmade pouch with company logo in metallic purple. PROBLEM SOLVEDA few reviews and testimonials on our power cable: QUOTING: Precept A/C Mains cable:“The topic of after-market power cables seems to elicit a multitude of responses from fellow audiophiles; some positive, some negative, some just plain mean spirited. Over the last three months, I have discovered that after-market AC cables can not only significantly change the sound of a component and enhance a system's audio performance, but truly unlock the potential of fine components.There is a store located about 10 minutes from my office called Jeff's Sound Values. Jeff sells not only new equipment, but a great deal of used gear and accessories that are usually offered on Audiogon. About three months ago, I began trying different used power cables from Jeff. All of the used cables I tried were good in some areas, but lacking in others. I really did not want to put out the kind of money some of my friends have spent for the Shunyata Anaconda ($2000) or Nordost Valhalla ($2500); two AC cables that I really like, although quite different in sonic character.There are an incredible number of expensive power cables being made today with every conceivable design. Being a 6th grade graduate (went to school with Jethro Bodine), I have some knowledge of scientific methodology, but find the claims of many of these folks to be far fetched. The descriptions of many of the AC cables on the internet suggest that if these manufacturers were recruited for NASA, we would be exploring the universe today with Captain Jean-Luc Picard.Recently, the boys at Jeff's Sound Values suggested that I try a pair of used Stealth Audio Cloude Nine AC cables. These babies seemed to have no significant shielding, and were composed of 7 silver ribbons in a flexible plastic jacket.To make a long story short, these cables were far better than the PS audio xStream Statement cables I had been using. They had a wonderful midrange, but did have a problem in that they were not well-suited for high current demands. Their magic was lost when used on my power amps and PS Audio P1000 power plant. I was now determined, or perhaps obsessed, to find something like the Cloude Nines for these components.About a month ago, I read an ad in Audiogon for Revelation Audio Labs' Precept AC cable. I noticed that Dan Wright of ModWright endorsed this company's products. A well respected friend also advised me to try Brad Vojtech's cables. The Precept Cryo-Silver AC cables appear to be very well made with expensive Furutech rhodium connectors. The cables are also quite flexible making installation easy in tight spaces. The first thing I observed after break-in (100 hours recommended; the cables are a little hard sounding and constricted when first plugged in) is an amazing degree of quietness or blackness to the background of voices or instruments. These cables are highly detailed without brightness or exaggeration of the high-end. Bass is very tight with great impact and speed. The bottom octave has great power and detail as well. The soundstage is very large and deep with a nice bloom to the midrange, but not excessively so. The Precept has an ease to the sound that is simply addicting. Comparisons were then made with the Shunyata Anaconda Alpha and the Nordost Valhalla. Two of my friends loaned me their cables for this review.The Shunyata has a large sound with great bloom to the midrange. It sounds less detailed than the Nordost or Revelation Audio Labs Precept, but is very seductive sounding with its warmth and lack of grain.The Nordost is detailed and fast sounding like the Precept with a great sense of air and extension in the highs. I prefer the Precept, as it has the detail and speed of the Nordost, but also the bloom of the Shunyata without the extra warmth. The power, detail, and extension of the low end are superior on the Precept than the Shunyata or the Nordost. The degree of quietness is superior on the Precept vs. the other two cables. My Wilson subwoofer seems to blend seamlessly with my Wilson 7 speakers now that Precepts are powering my power amps. The transient response of the bass in my system has never been better. I feel that the Revelation Audio Labs Precept is simply an outstanding AC cable, and should definitely be considered when auditioning high end AC cables for your system. Pictures of the Precept cables and the rest of my system are in the Inmate Picture Gallery.”— Dr. Steven Plaskin [read full review]“I am very happy with the sound I am getting. More and more I am forgetting the equipment and just listening to the performance. For me the biggest compliment I can give your product is to say that they are 'musical.' I don't use that word very often. Most times I am able to hear what the component is doing or what it is not doing. It may be good/bad or just different but I am still aware of the component and its artifact(s). Your cords have improved my system but not in the usual way. Instead of my being aware of aspects of the sound that have been improved, I am aware of how organic the sound is. Performances come across more complete. Phrasing and dynamics that are a critical part of any performance are heard with more subtlety and articulation and therefore a more complete understanding of what the artist is actually doing is revealed for me to enjoy. I have listened to some other cords and none I have come across have made this type of improvement. I applaud your efforts to make such a musical component at such a reasonable price.” — J.K. “Well, I received the wire on Friday, installed it on the Cary 306/200 CD player Saturday morning and gave it a four hour 'settle in' period before listening to familiar cuts at normal volume for several hours.First, it's only fair for me to say that I have always been skeptical of the benefits of exotic power cords. Several years back a friend and I collected about a dozen high end wires and spent weeks testing in two systems. The clear winner here turned out to be the top of the Belden line! at about $35 for 6 feet.Having said that, I must admit that I was utterly unprepared for the major effect your wire had in my reference system. The improvement was not subtle or arguable at all. The entire presentation had an improved clarity and palpable presence that was, to my ears, quite astounding, and these are qualities I already had in very large measure.Several minor, yet annoying, anomalies in my system simply vanished! What I had attributed to a room resonance problem, because it persisted throughout many tweaks and component improvements, has turned out to be some grunge or something in the power mains, and I have dedicated lines and conditioners.Suffice it to say the Belden is out.Although I will really spend some serious time evaluating the wire over several more weekends with a number of CDs, I doubt my initial impression will change. I have several 'golden-eared' friends who know my system well (one has the Cary CD player) who, no doubt, will be needing this wire when they hear what it has done for me. In fact, after my full review period I intend to insist that Dennis Had come to NY and hear what your wire did for his CD player. This power cord should be standard on all 306/200s.Congratulations on your technology, Brad. Usually I would not be so enthusiastic about a product, particularly a wire, after only several hours of listening, but the improvement was so obvious, and also in areas where it really counted with me, that I here make an exception. You really have made something important.”— Eric Wood, President Voice Factory International New York City“Its been several weeks now since I bought these Precept AC mains cables from you at Revelation Audio Labs. I promised you that I would let you know my views on them no matter what they were.My company, San Domenico Stringed Instruments in the UK, are international dealers and restorers of fine violins, etc. I as head of the company for 35 years I have a finely tuned ear for detail in sound and all musical nuances.The set up I use at home is, as far as I am concerned, about "it": dCS La Scala transport , dCS Elgar+ DAC , dCS Verona masterclock, Lamm M1.2 monoblocks , top quality interconnects and Living Voice Avatar OBX speakers. All this kit is supplied with juice from an Isotek Titan mains conditioner which is fed itself from a dedicated mains supply.Why am I boring you with all this background? Well, you might think what could possibly be wrong with this fantastic set up? I have now added your Precept AC cables to all the runs from the conditioner to the equipment. What a difference ! Everything has become more organic - a much over used term these days - but truly it is the first time I have heard a human voice sound exactly right, and the texture of instrumental sounds are now perfect. The sound stage has gone outwards, backward and forwards, expanding in all directions.Brad, thanks for all your help , I could not live with my equipment now without your Precept II cables in the system.”—Fond regards, Howard Morgan, President San Domenico Stringed Instruments Cardiff, Wales , UK“Revelation Audio Labs Precept A/C Mains power cable initial impressions: Given my previous experience with their i2s cables, I decided to give the power cables a shot, and see what this company was really capable of. Well the cables just arrived today. I bought two, for my transport and DAC's power supply. The Furutech connectors were extremely solid, as was expected, given the level of their connectors with their i2s cables (which are just on a whole different level, compared to the chintzy connectors of the other i2s cables out there). But on to what really matters...the sound! So I plugged the cables in, and all I can say is WOW!!! The first thing that jumped out at me was how much fuller the sound became. There was an increase in air as well. This was most apparent with horns, in which the realism of the sound from the airiness, besides just tone, improved. And as much as it is difficult to define, and has become extremely cliché in the audiophile world, musicality took a big step up. The blackness to the sound enhanced, creating more precise imaging, and a further extension in depth. Dynamics, especially micro-dynamics, and the transient response all strengthened. These elements all helped better the attack, slam, and texture of the sound. All of the finger-work, strumming, and plucking on the acoustic guitar became more apparent, helping to display the guitarist's artisanship. Bass also tightened and the control truly intensified. Every note on the upright bass was clean and clear, while the bass drum was allowed to really show why it is also referred to as the 'kick' drum. Sustain remained perfect, allowing the cymbals to really shine and reveal all of the overtones. What struck me the most though, was the increased realism and balance. There were no negatives to the addition of these cables, unlike some power products, which is extremely important to me. I have auditioned a fair amount of other power cables, and found quite a few not to my liking. However, I would not hesitate to recommend trying one out for yourself. These cables are certainly worth every penny.” — R.M.“I received the 'Precept' today. Connected it to my tubed CDP. My initial impression is one of amazement. I have never heard anything like it. The music is wonderful. How can one cable, even before burn-in, have such a positive effect. Can't wait 'til my wife hears the music. She was very skeptical. My only concern is that I may become obese. :) The cable is unbelievable or better said as finally believable. Thanks very much.” —T.C.“Your cables arrived yesterday Sydney time. I hooked one cable up to my Z Cubed power box and another to my Croft Vitale preamp. I haven't done too much swapping of cables yet. Without doubt these are better than the Venhaus Audio cables they have replaced. Bigger soundstage, more detail, more effortlessness, a wonderful sense of air or spaciousness. I have been playing a few Judie Tzuke albums and where at times there seemed to be some effort in getting her vocals through the cables, now it just flows out ever so effortlessly. I could sense a real 'melt-in-your-mouth' kind of liquidity when listening with these cables. Very smooth, dead quiet background and tranparency is much better. The attack and decay characteristics are also top-notch. There are certainly a lot of cables out there on Audiogon. I chose yours because the ad was really convincing. I have no regrets. They are every bit as good as your ad would indicate. I look forward to purchasing some more of your cables some time in the future as funds permit.” — T.V.
