High fidelity REVEAL interconnects


For $699 HF costumer service, said it can compete with the Odin, apparently this cable is available for shipping a week before Christmas?      Agoners any opinion?

A couple observations. @ozzy You were asked to confirm the directionality and subsequently replied they are the XLRs; meaning they could only go one way because the male and female connectors will dictate that. I’m convinced you have them pointed in the right direction, which is with the arrow tip always pointed "downstream," the ultimate downstream destination being the speakers.

Now as to burn-in. I installed a pair of Reveal XLRs between my preamp and my amps this past weekend. They have less than a week’s burn-in on them. I think they get a little better with time but nothing real dramatic thus far in my experience. Mine, however, sounded great right off the bat.

Soon after on that same day I also installed a pair of Reveal power cables but I did have an hour or so with just the XLRs and knowing it takes time for the magnetic energies to take effect I still thought they sounded great even before burn-in and other settling effects on my system.

jayctoy,

My wife is really good for me. We have been married 43 years! I think I got married when I was 10.

Yes, the XLR Reveal’s are very stiff and bulky at the ends making it difficult to connect behind the rack, near the floor and under other connections. So it takes a little swearing to get them connected.

jmcgrogan2,

Yes I have about 16 of the MC-05’s. It may be a case of too much magnetism. I will re connect the Reveal’s this evening after burning them for 24+ hours on another system.

misterbritt,

A little more to this saga. I have Grand Prix amp stands and I found that I had a speaker connection bent tight under the acrylic shelf. Perhaps too tight, sort of like dampening the floating shelf.

I have since straightened out this connection and the amp stand is now able to float freely on there cushy pads once again. So, I’ll try the Reveal’s again this evening.

Thanks guys for your help!

ozzy.

@ozzy, I'm guessing you know this but I thought I'd mention it just to be on the safe side. If you have the Reveal's in another system burning them in for 24 hours and then put them into your main system you will have to wait for (I don't know how long) for the magnetic conduction to really take effect.

Any  cables need to settle, burn in cables my experience is 6 days, with magnets maybe longer...Lak is right.
