Revelation Audio Labs CryoSilver Reference DB-15 umbilical power cable

So why do you need our umbilical power cable? 



Answer:  



THE PROBLEM:  



Without exception, in our decades of experience in designing world-class upgrade umbilical power cables to the high-end audio community, EVERY stock umbilical cable we have encountered, upon examination proves to be pitifully inferior in design and construction. It truly is a shame - you spend your hard-earned money on outstanding, well-designed electronics, but what the manufacturer sends you to connect their unit to their outboard power supply is the equivalent of the "throw-away" interconnects that come in the box with your average inexpensive DVD player. These stock umbilical 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 umbilical 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.

Audio cables with a soul.   



A state-of-the-art upgrade power umbilical cable specially wired for use between the outboard power supply and main chassis.  When you place your order, it is very important that you please send us a note to inform us of what equipment you will use your new cable with.  Shown in the photos is the more typical configuration with a male connector on the power supply end and a female connector on the opposite end, however some certain equipment varies from this standard.  For example, the Oracle CD 2000 transport has male connectors on both ends.  So be sure to let us know so there are no delays.  This is also critical, so your cable is made with the appropriate wiring pinout.


Our umbilical cable upgrade far surpasses the performance enhancement of a complete component replacement. A high-performance, no-compromise umbilical power cable which merits use with your fine equipment employing the DB-15 connector for power transfer. A phenomenal upgrade from the stock umbilical power cable.   Everyone says they CAN NOT BELIEVE the improvements "this little cable" makes.



MORE ON THE SUBJECT OF "THE PROBLEM": 



With no contempt and with all due respect to the distinguished and equitably esteemed designers of your equipment, they very wisely exploited the operational benefits of housing and isolating the analog power supply components and circuits in a separate chassis from the equipment main chassis. The power supply is designed to do an excellent job of providing plenty of clean power. Unfortunately, the equipment designers notoriously fail to assign a high priority to the design of the stock cable, do not task the same painstaking care and attention to this aspect of their product, and therefore do not exercise high end audio power cable design disciplines into the making of the stock umbilical cable. The stock cable is admittedly mediocre at best, and may actually be the weakest link in your fine music system! As a result of this severe compromise, distortions and losses consequently occur, causing a detriment to performance that cannot otherwise be recovered or corrected. Of course, audio equipment designers vehemently defend their design decisions regarding the stock umbilical cable, because doing otherwise would admit an oversight, a shortcoming, and/or a compromise in their design, revealing an embarrassing weakness in their system, and for none we have ever encountered, again no disrespect intended, but their ego simply will not tolerate it. Therefore, they will only recommend you use the umbilical they provide, will adamantly claim you will not realize a difference with a different umbilical, and will even forbid you using any umbilical other than what they provide.  



UPGRADE FROM STOCK - SOLVE THE PROBLEM  




Now you can finally deliver that quality power you paid for 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 umbilical power cable is 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.   



 • Dual 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 and robust Military Specification Amphenol male-to-female DB-15 connectors with heavy solid metal shielded shells. 

     

 • Prior to shipment the cable is fully conditioned on our audiodharma Cable 
Cooker, and connectors are treated with Furutech Nano Fluid contact enhancer.  Where applicable, any internal solderless conductor to connector terminations are also treated with Nano Fluid during assembly.



 • 1-meter length (longer lengths available)  



 • Packed for protection in our beautiful custom handmade pouch with company logo in metallic purple.

QUOTING:    



"How are you my friend? I receive my umbilical 6 days ago and when I see the cable, (within) the beautiful pouch, I don´t believe the quality of the product!!!!!! Of course the sound is at the same level, after 5 continuous days feeding my Pass Labs XP-20 preamp the results was spectacular!!!!!!! More bass impact, really better mids and highs, A LOT OF DETAILS!!! the focus of the voices are perfectly in the center of the loudspeakers and the texture are amazing (I have the singers performing for me 
in my living room!!!! NO JOKE!!!!)..... summarizing, the best and most notorious cable I ever had (and I have totally wired my system with Transparent Reference XL MM and MM2, including the powerecords and a line filter). So, Thank you very much.....I will recommend your products with every person I know! Take care you and your family, (it) is a pleasure for me to deal with very nice people like you. Best regards from Argentina friend, Pablo Reggiani"   



"The Pass Labs umbilical has had about 60 hours & is excellent! Even after the first few minutes I could hear it was special...! It compares to a pre amp upgrade. - Rich, U.K."  




"Early impressions are good!  What I notice most is an increase in low-level detail - big time!  As I spend more time with it I'll be able to say more about it. - Howard, U.S."  



"The umbilical cord has indeed brought improvements to the performance of my Pass Labs XP20. I perceived increased resolution of details and more refined mid and high frequencies. It is indeed good value for money. I have demo'ed it at home to several of my friends most of whom did observe the improvements. One friend who runs an XP30 knows your website and is giving the matter of two umbilicals his serious consideration. - Patrick, H.K."
