NEW DESIGN REVISION  

I have been made aware that there are a number of on-line reviews of the cable, but here are a few I located for you:

Here is quoting just a portion of it:
 
(QUOTING)
 
...Does it make the stereo sound better. The answer to that is yes. Most emphatically. I installed it Wednesday morning, and now (Saturday night) I am sitting here listening to it and am just amazed at how much better the preamp is now sounding. At first it seemed to really separate the L/R channels, but now the soundstage, musical detail, background, etc. have all improved. Plus, I don't have to turn it up quite as much to reach my preferred listening level for either classical or rock songs. Vocals are clean and clear, instruments are at specific locations in space, and I keep hearing 'sounds' I do not remember hearing before. Granted, I am only using my musical memory for these observations, but I have been listening to this preamp for a year now, so I am comfortable with how it sounds. And now it sounds better. Much better. It is like getting a new piece of gear, at a much lower price...

It is a thourough and therefore lengthy review, but here is quoting just a portion of it:
 
(QUOTING)
 
Some  of the differences immediately heard with the RAL DB25 cable were:

1. More rumble and growl texture to bass notes.
2. More tactile sensation from acoustic bass and low piano notes.
3. More image weight, definition and solidity.
4. More bass weight, articulation, and clarity.
5. More overall clarity.
6. Music sounded apparently (but not measurably louder) louder due to lower noise floor.
7. Larger and more defined ambient sounds.

I usually go back and forth several times between an old and new cable, but I only "fell back" once in this case because

1. The differences were so striking.
2. My mind could not come to terms with bending over and reaching behind my equipment cabinet multiple times and dealing with the baby python, even though handling was easier the second time around because the cable had been bent into shape.

Going back to the stock DB25 took away the increased image weight, enhanced ambient sounds, additional detail, and bass enhancements. The XP-25's RAL DB25 was reinstalled, permanently, and an RAL DB25 was then installed between the XP-30's control chassis and the right channel amplification chassis. There was an increase in image weight and apparent loudness on the right.

QUOTING: "Hi, let me make it clear..  the umbilical-cord does have an effect on the sound reproduction .. it seems like my préamp just waking-up from coma  ...  since it is not fully broke in totally dare I say the best is yet to come...  thank you for the work you put into your u.cord. Update - forgive me if it took me all that time to give you my thoughtS concerning My préamp Viola Audio Cadenza umbilical cord. I had to wait till it reaches its full Break in...  and I think it still will get Improve while the time goes by. Your umbilcal cord makes the whole System disappear and let room Only to music...  we were afraid to disappear in our turn...  It an exceptional improvement The whole blabby skin effect disappeared ...   your umbilical cable Cleans up the music in a way You could wonder if you’re clean enough to listen to it....   thank you. UPDATE: no doubt about it...  it is a reality at least with my system...    all started with a hard sound at the beginning and after few months the sound became soft and pleasant and I felt necessary to convey my feeling regarding your umbilcal cord. The sound is clean and in fact the cable contributes much in opening up the sound stage And brings up micro info which were Hidden...    when I listen at night It gives the impression ’ghost band invasion are playing music’...   believe it or not and as I said it will soften as the time goes by. Yours sincerely, A.C., Paris, France END QUOTE 

 

QUOTING:  "How are you my friend?

I receive my umbilical 6 days ago and when I see the cable, (within) the velvet 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 DETAIL!!!, 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 powercords 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"  END QUOTE


QUOTING: "The cable is a noticeable improvement over the Tubulus alternative I purchased last fall.  The Tubulus is better than a stock cable but no where near the improvement the Revelation Audio Labs cable provided.  I did not need a full week to evaluate.  Several listening sessions was all it took with two A & B comparisons.  I know the RAL cable is still burning in!  Brought my wife who also recognized the big improvement. Rare event indeed.  Sure you have heard similar comments about improved sound stage imaging, greater low to mid bass weight, overall improved clarity.  Now I would like to replace the two DB-25 Tubulus cables on my Pass Labs X-30 preamp as well, so thank you for the fast start on fabricating the two 1.25-meter cables for my XP-30 pre-amp.  Looking forward to getting those into my system as well.  Your 0.75-meter XP-25 phono pre-amp replacement cable was like a major component upgrade.  Hope to hear similar results replacing the two on the Pre-Amp. - B.F., Portland, OR, USA"  END QUOTE

The 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. A phenomenal upgrade from the stock umbilical power cable. The designers of your equipment exploited the operational benefits of housing and isolating the power supply components 
and circuits in a separate chassis.  The power supplies are designed to do an excellent job of providing plenty of clean power.  Unfortunately, the equipment designers 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 stock umbilical cable.  The stock cable is admittedly mediocre at best, and may actually be the weakest link in your fine music system. 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. The 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!  

   

 

   

•Deep cryogenic treated five-nines (5N) ultra-pure solid core CryoSilver ™ conductors  

   

•AirTunnel ™ dielectrics  

   

•Transparent Teflon isolators  

   

•Progressive Hand Wrap ™ discreet shields for each critical conductor pole, isolating each conductor/dielectric sub-assembly from all others within each array - eliminates EM effects, cross talk, and eddy currents  

    

•Triple-layer solid 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 conduit of this cable is filled under pressure by a special process with 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. 

  

•Highest quality Military Specification Amphenol connectors with heavy solid metal shielded shells.   

  

•Prior to shipment the cable is fully conditioned on our audiodharma Cable Cooker,  and connector contacts are treated with  Furutech NanoFluid  contact enhancer     

  

•0.75-meter length (longer lengths available)     
    

  

•Packed for protection in our beautiful custom handmade pouch with company logo in metallic purple.  Connectors are protected during transport with  PartsGuard  mesh. 

A few more recent testimonials:

 

"The DB-25 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 DB-25 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 all 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."
