ILLusion Liquid Air Umbilical for Modwright units

Guys,

I can tell you this without hesitation if you haven't already done so, upgrade your stock umbilical cord to an Audio Magic Liquid air or even an Illusion Liquid Air which I have and you'll be blown AWAY!

The results are like changing a component, this cable produces spooky pin-point imaging, 3D layering within the soundstage, low level detail never heard revealed with no brightness, pitch black background, extremely musical and truly a chameleon.

This cable is truly a revelation and must be heard to believe and I can say without question that you will be amazed...

Erndog,

The Truth Umbilical Cord is not even close to Audio Magic entry level Liquid Air Umbilical and they're a little more costly depending on length than the Truth but the performance gained is 2-3 fold!

I have read on this forum that the MW Sony 5400/Oppo challenged $10K players and I believe with this cable, challengers can't touch it...

My arsenal of PC contains some very elaborate and technological engineering and what this Audio Magic cable does is mind blowing.

With my VR-4JR I just bi-amp and dispense with the umbilical as Albert suggested.

Wig, Thanks for the tip. As you know, I have both the MW 5400 and the MW HAPZ1, with two truth umbilicals and both a PS 9.0 and 9.9 power supply. I am also a big fan of the Audio Magic gear, but haven't tried a LA power cord yet. If the difference is anything close to what you say, it sounds like I better give one of these a try.

Brownsfan,

It was a very nice improvement when I upgraded my MW 9.0 to a 9.9 PS but switching to a liquid Air or Illusion Liquid Air draws you into the music. The refinement and sense of being part of the performance is uncanny and I found the Truth cable to be glossy and vague in sound-staging/imaging.

You will not be disappointed.

Wig, so I take it you tried both the Liquid Air and the Illusion Liquid Air umbilicals? If so, how substantial was the improvement of the Illusion over the LA?

It always seemed to me that PCs for DC would afford even more improvement than PCs for AC. Also, I wanted to ask you what rectifier you are using in your 9.9 now.
