Revelation Audio Labs

Search Revelation Audio Labs in the archives here and on Google. There is plenty of info about this very type of thing occurring with Brad. It is too bad that he is still able to get away with it.

Thanks for letting me know.
I paid for the cables 3 months ago & have not received them or had a reply for nearly 2 months.
I wasn't aware that he has a reputation for this; he told me he was busy...

What cables did you order?

I ordered a DB-25 & an XLR.
I've opened a PayPal case to claim a refund.

I saw some 2008 posts in another forum where the cable purchaser was having a similar problem. He contacted the following entity, which resulted in receipt of the cables:

Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

I also ordered some custom umbillical cables Sept. 2013 from Brad at Revelation which were never delivered. Some months after ordering multiple emails went unanswered. I paid using Paypal but unfortunately via instant transfer from my bank rather than credit card so I reported the nondelivery but had no recourse to get back the payment.

I no longer have the component that I was going to use the cables for so I have let the situation go but just to warn everyone as well about ordering from this guy.

Brad just listed one of his cables on Audiogon for sale.
He has 100% feedback over the last 12 months.
Just trying to make some sense of this.

cfchew, I would pursue this as Maxima 95 stated in the post above yours. Not having the components any more is no reason to allow the man to steal from you. I personally went through a protracted purchasing experience exactly like those described here and on many other places on the internet. I eventually got my cable but it was not a fun experience. I would NEVER again send Brad Vojtech any money, nor would I recommend anyone else send him their money. Do so at your own risk.

I'm curious, how did brad's cables have a tied-up with Empirical Audio, as an optional item in Steve 's DAC online sales site? What good reputation did he have? 

THAT was my experience.  he goes silent.  he owes me almost 1000 but disappears.
sorry to say a crook.  do not deal with him.

I had the same experience, and escalated the claim through PayPal.  He never ship the cables for 2 months after transaction.  Hopefully I can get my money back but I think PayPal should blacklist his account.

Just opened the dispute with Paypal. I have been waiting for my cables for over one month. 

So far I received two bogus USPS shipment notifications. 

Buyers beware!!!!

PS: Don't fall for his 30 days audition guarantee either.  

did the buyers who used pay-pal get their money back? it appears i may be a victim as well. i'm preparing to go on offense this week, after being stroked for 2 months. same story as those above.

@jr19,

I got my cables within 10 days after opening the dispute with Paypal. 

Thank you for response lalitK.

Interesting..I bought an ethernet cable from  Brad about 30 days ago and received it right away without any problem. Great cable too..

I bought the same thing 2 months ago. Received it in about 5 days. Liked it so much i ordered 2 power cords and a hdmi cable. received ethernet cable 04/22/2017. ordered the other 3 wires 04/23/2017. Brad contacted me via e-mail after i left positive feed back for the ethernet cable. offered me a deal. i said yes.......... e-mailed Brad this morning. His last chance to make it rite.

jr19....have you tried calling him..?..just a thought..He is ..i think...a solo act. other cable makes on this forum have had similar issues with not being able to get orders out ...I guess they are entitled to having a life outside of audio too..!

I agree. I'm not here to pile on Brad. we communicate via e-mail to keep a record of the details. i received a tracking number tonight at 10:30. if anyone wants a update, i will provide. let's see what happens.

got my wires. quality looks good, as expected.

Update, I am currently going through the same arduous and painful process of wrangling a set of paid-for cables from Brad, as mentioned in previous posts. Like others, I'm not trying to 'pile up' on the guy, but if it's going to take 12+ weeks to get product, he should clearly state this somewhere in his lengthy product description. I finally had to resort to filing a dispute both here and with PayPal to get him to respond to my inquiries. Might be great cable, but this audio pilgrim will never buy from him again. 

I've had good experiences with Brad.  He is always been responsive by email, usually within the same day.

Here is another transaction that took over 4 months to fulfill,

I have been waiting 3 months+ for the headphone cable. Same thing: great communication prior to sale, but since payment he has gone silent.

I am choosing to just assume it is similar to Double Helix Headphone Cables. They have a 4-5 month wait time.

I have his dual USB and it is incredible. However, I purchased the USB cable second hand.  Maybe thats the way to go?
