Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

  Stereo to Balanced. The AK240 has a balanced out using the 2.5 plug size. This allows a typical stereo 3.5 to plug into that balanced output.

You cannot do SE to Balanced. It will not work and, if I'm not work, might short your amp. Only the other way round. 

Yep...I noticed that Currawong built his own cable for that. He showed it in his Youtube review of the AK240.

Ooh! Frank, will mine be made with this? Very very nice!

Absolutely, if that's what you would like.
 
I am still in two minds about getting the AK240, i got myself a DX100 nearly a year ago and to date have never used it, same with the 602.
 
It looks awesome, but can't bring myself to buy something that i will likely never use.
 
Oh, bought myself another snake, waiting to take delivery. This is a baby pic, it's much bigger now,

This looks great! How much for one like this?

Copper Venom RC-8 would be £550.
 
It's really time consuming to make and had the sleeve specifically custom made to fit this wire.

I will try to make you an 8 wire as you had originally wanted, if i manage to, i will let you know the difference in cost, should be ablut £1,200 more :D

:eek: ru trying to bankrupt this poor dutch dude? :D
Be careful..or else i will sent u a hedgehog (dear friend of mine..lolz) through the post..and let him have a looksie at ur 23 babies :veryevil:
Dont worry..the 1,5 babies u mentioned last will be left alone...i promise :wink:
Seriously....if u do manage to do that for my hifiman..then u will do something supposedly impossible..as no one..and i mean NO ONE has managed that before for a hifiman headphone because of those little shiiit connectors (ru making new connectors?)...EVER!
But i have big faith in u...OMG..only knowing i again will have a 'frank's special' (or was it a 'Hifimanrookie Special' lolz?) no one has, makes me proud to be ur loyal customer..and remembers me why i went into the toxic boat two years ago.
.i will stun (soundwise/lookswise/qualitywise) everyone with that cable on my rig!!! And in a few months a new meet will take place..u can bet ur butt on it i will attend :D

But as u said..try it out..i love to be ur guinea pig cablewise ( my other cable came out perfectly, it already has a nickname..lolz)..u know that...and i know that if u cant do it..NO ONE can :wink: so even if it will be a RC-4... I will be more then happy also :p

Yes please. I think it will look very good with the new True BW. :)

Hmmm.. Frank, I have a few excellent DAPs and I can say that the AK240 does get fair amount of time with me. Besides, it sounds so sweet with the BW! :)

That is the most amazing snake I've ever seen and I don't even like snakes.  That doesn't even look real!

I think it can be the mascot for Frank's Virus cable (hybrid, 2 colours)

Dude, those snakes cant be real!!! How is that possible?..those colors! That blue'ish color..does he glow in the dark?..wow!
Looks expensive also..am not into snakes..but i know what u paid for a more regular kind..so this must blow a huge hole in ur wallet :D
And all those mice u have to buy for food for all those 23 babies and soon 24... Well..as long they give u inspiration to make the most wonderful cables in the world i dont mind..hell..even if u would buy a 20 feet long 'Reticulated Python' i wouldnt mind.. :wink:
