I'm sure that you're aware Frank (Kabelmeister) owns Toxic Cables (http://toxic-cables.co.uk/) and makes bespoke headphone cables, interconnects and power leads using top notch materials at reasonable prices. Frank is also co-sponsoring our meet and has generously donated great prizes to the raffle.
 
So... when Frank informed me of a new cable my interest was piqued, but even more so when he mentioned that it uses solid silver everything! In Franks own words...
 
"This cable has the same specs as the Silver Poison but instead of the mini XLR used on the Silver Poison this uses a higher quality Switchcraft shielded mini XLR body. The largest difference in this cable is that the cable is Full Silver tip to tip, the first ever cable to be released that uses solid Silver for all the contacts, not silver plated. All contacts are machined from solid Silver. The actual cable is OCC stranded silver. This cable has been named the `Silver Poison Reference Series'. Presently this cable is only offered with either a dual 3pin XLR or 4pin XLR, but I hope to offer a 1/4" jack in due course".
 
 
Sounds expensive... but it's definitely not! 
 
"The price has been set to £365 for a 6ft cable". 
 
Any photo's?
 

 
Anything else to add Frank?
 
"The black sleeving pictured is also offered as an option. I also have balanced XLR cables also using Silver contacts at both ends. Lastly, just for cosmetics the XLR plugs are marked left/right with a real industrial Ruby for right and industrial Sapphire for left".
 
So folks, a real `gem' of a headphone cable that looks amazing and will undoubtedly sound sublime. I've already ordered mine and will report back on the cable sonics soonest.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy. 
 
 

Thanks Andy.

Blimey Frank, that sounds the buisness! Good work - as always.
 
 

Frank, what is the difference in sound between the Silver Poison Reference Series and the Venom?
Will the Venom also be available with silver contacts?
 

Sunday evening raffle update...
 
If you're searching for a reasonably priced DAC/Headphone Amplifier with USB input and the ability to play 24bit/96KHz audio files, you should seriously consider the MATRIX Rip USB DAC. MATRIX-DIGI have kindly shipped one over for audition at the meet and guess what... they don't want it back so it's going into the raffle! Having given the Rip a precursory listen it's very good and worthy of recommendation at it's price point.
 
There's more specification information and photo's in this thread - http://www.head-fi.org/t/584622/the-new-matrix-rip-usb-dac
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.
