Few cables ready to be packed and shipped on Friday, some in the corner still just need source end plugs terminated.

Just so you can see, we are working hard to get everyone's cables ready

I don't currently have any pictures myself, maybe Eddie might be able to share as he has both the 4 conductor and 8 conductor versions.

Otherwise i have a few orders that are expected to be made in couple of weeks, so will take some then.

Here's couple old pics of the actual wire

So I received a Silver Widow 22 V2 for my Noble K10 CIEMs.

The flexibility is so much more comfortable. Where as with the V1 the cable twisted about when you move your head the V2 stays in the same position flush behind your ears. It sits much flatter against your body as well and doesn't tend to twist up when you curve it either which is great.

The look is nicer as well the new installation is much clearer so you get a much better view of the silver and it is much more shiny which is cool. The insulation also feels smoother to the touch which adds to the comfort.

After speaking to Frank he said that despite the insulation being thinner on the V2 it is actually tougher and more cut resistance than.

Overall very happy with the Silver Widow 22 V2 and would definitely recommend it :D

Received my SW22v1 for my Focal Utopia and SW22v2 for my Pioneer SE-Master 1.

Initial Impressions

You can see from the picture above, the new insulation of SW22v2 gave the cables a dark hue in its finishing compared to SW22v1, indeed the new SW22v2 is offers more flexibility with a thinner and softer insulation and the dark hue does make it look more classy for me. Be it SW22v1 or SW22v2, both cables are oozing with quality. It has been a 5 month wait for these, looking at the cable received, it is definitely value for money with handcraft details that one cannot get cheaper elsewhere. Over the past 5 months, Frank has been great in providing his professional opinions while allowing me to make the final decision, after the order he was also providing regular updates so its not like money paid and 5 months of vacuum, knowing how busy he is, kudos to him. If you are on the order list, just be patient, one good thing coming out of this 5 months is that with a higher demand for his cable, Frank does not compromise on the workmanship to make production better, he continues his practise of delivering what's best for us.

I just completed an initial 3 hr listening of the SW22v2 on my Pioneer SE-Master 1 and is now running in the cable. Initial impression is that with the SW22v2, it has allowed the the SE-Master 1 to exhibit certain dynamic details that were lacking in the Pioneer SE-Master 1 bring it even closer to the Focal Utopia. At this juncture, I have not had the opportunity to listen to the SW22v1 on the Focal Utopia yet.

Will post more after both cables are burn-in.

I'm very sorry to hear this, email has not come through yet.

As soon as i know which order this was, we will have a replacement in your hands by end of week. See if we can upgrade that SP to a SW for you too.

I think the Silver Widow 22 V2 is my 5th cable from Frank and I have to agree it is by far my favourite in the looks department. Love the way it almost just looks like silver strands with no insulation on it :D

I can't thank Frank & co enough to act upon this issue practically immediately and for good measure also offered an upgrade - in total it took only 3 days to receive a replacement cable :)

Next, moving on to trying out the greatly anticipated new cable...
