Sorry, should have been a little more specific in my question. I have used a fair amount of Franks Silver / Gold alloy cable for DIY.

Yet you have not purchased any cables made by me, i am quite disappointed

Thats just the way I roll....I have too many cables already! Im going to have to find new and interesting ways to use them.
 
3 different cables for one set of IEM's is probably too many. Isnt it?

If I was as skilled as Luke I'd probably make my own also haha. I can't even get that round braid down yet....
 
@ Frank, maybe not the right place to ask but a little birdy mentioned to me that you might be expanding your business and may be selling other stuff as well as cables? Is that right? If so what are you looking at selling?

If only I could teach myself to extrude insulation over very fine stranded high quality wires that I had refined to high purity.....Self sufficientcy beacons me!

That's great to hear Frank, we need more stockists in the uk. When my wallet is speaking to me again I'm sure to give you a nod for some Audio gd. Got one of their amps at the mo and they are very good.

Melt some PTFE and dip the wires in it, it's not that hard, and for Cryo treatment, leave the wire in the fridge freezer overnight

Right, sorted! I may have a free hour over the weekend to give it a go. Got me some old copper from the lawn mower cable in the garage. Give it a polish first I recon. Lovely!

Wow, didn't realise you were expanding quite to that extent!!
This is amazing, the UK has been crying out for this for such a long time. Nice one

Do you have the EF6 in stock? This is my next target.

I have a mate who loves my HE-6 and has been saving his dosh towards a set. I've told him to get in touch with you. Gonna sound cheeky but if he buys the HE-6 (or possibly HE-500) from you, will you do him a deal if he wants one of your cables to go with them? Sorry Frank I know your stuff is already good value but if you don't ask you don't get do you? An idea of costs would be great.

Hi All
 
First time posting on here, but I just wanted to show a pic of the Viper i Talk cable I have ordered from Frank.   As soon as the cable arrives I will post some proper pics of it (I asked Frank to send me a pic of it as I am too excited about it).
 
 

 
 
I have to say,  Frank never seems to sleep as he always answered my emails straight away (and I live in Australia) and he put up with all my emails and questions prior to me ordering it.
Basically I was after a replacement for my TF10vi cable and I could not find one I liked anywhere.  After a few emails with Frank, he came up with the above.  As I am getting my TF10s reshelled at Unique Melody, I thought I would go for a good quality cable, and after reading all the reviews on here and chatting with Frank, I knew this was the cable to go for.
 
 
I will add more pics and post my views on it when it arrives.
 
Cheers
 
Rich

Frank never sleeps! I get replies from him all the time from what has to be 4 am London time.
