Preamp Deal of the Century

Hello Slowhand
I heard from Mick last week.
He did some improvements on the Mondeuse & was waiting for some parts from the U.S.that he just recieved.
He was going to work on them this week.
Just knowing that the Mondeuse continuies to evolve and improve before the final release ..
Is a statement of Mick's high standards he has set for his products.
I will let you's know when I recieve them!

Hello,
Are you using only umbilical cord from Revelation Audio Lab ? Or umbilical cord together with power cable from RAL ?
What gives better improvement umbilical cord or power cord ?
What power cable gives best quality price ratio with Chenin I have.

Has anyone ever hear a hum emanating from the power supply after extended play time. Sounds like a transformer hum. Not a ground fault problem...nothing from the speakers, just from power supply.

I recently started getting a hum from my Syrah power supply, it is loudest when I first turn it on, and it becomes a little quieter after warm-up, so it might not be the same problem you are having. I haven't had time to look into it yet, thought I might try changing tubes. The hum goes away if the umbilical is not connected.

Sorlowski-

I just placed and order with Brad at Revelation Audio for a 1 meter CryoSilver Reference umbilical for my Chenin. 1 meter for this is now 269.00.

As for power to the Chenin I have been using the Silent Source Signature Power Cable and been very happy. Up until a few weeks ago the Chenin was run via this directly into a dedicated 20A wall outlet. Now the Chenin's power is first passed through the Walker Audio Velocitor plugged into the wall with it's own Silent Source Sig. PC.

The improvements to the soundstage with the Walker have been impressive - much like finding just the right 6SN7 tube pair.

I am anxious to see what happens with the replaced umbilical. I would imagine if nothing else, the noise floor should drop a bit more. The twisted wires on the stock ubilical don't have much shielding.

Hi Slipknot, Just had a look at your incredible system. There are some changes from the last time I looked. By the sound of it, your Chenin has kepted pace with those changes... If there ever was a testimony for Micks phono stages,this is it...
