The “Phoenix”, 22AWG of gold-plated silver goodness. The cable insulation is softer than all the previous Toxic cables I own. New insulation, new internal structure, hence the new cable name.1D4BC561-E5AD-41BF-B819-09C0100CDDA9.jpeg

Yap, its the new flagship, they are in production now and priced for around 2K usd.
Structure is gold plated silver-gold alloy.
Hope someone can give an impression on comparison with Labkable titan au / Plussound X8 gold plated silver ~~ thanks.

Yes, $2k is expensive but do check out the price of the Effect Audio Horus Jumbo, also another gold-plated silver cable with similar specs.....

Very good synergy with the Luna and Phoenix. Phoenix is a very detailed sounding cable with a slight tinge of warmth and it boasts excellent extension on both ends. Vocals are rendered with sweetness.

Ordered 16ft of Viper 24awg OCC Cryo Silver Plated 7n Copper wire from Toxic cables and made this specimen:

It is beautiful. The wire was really easy to work. I'll probably make another one with MMCX connections as well. Many thanks to Toxic Cables.

Since this thread is still here, I have to, once again, very strongly advise against buying from Toxic Cables. Frank handed over the company to someone who was banned from this forum, and connected with attempted scams years ago in the classifieds. The person who owns it also lied to one manufacturer that they never received a product that they had purchased, then after the manufacturer sent them a second, bragged about having duped them into sending them a second one free.

There is also significant evidence that Frank is NOT dead, and this whole thing was a ruse by the current owner, and possibly Frank himself, for reasons unknown.

A few of us have known the details for a while now. It's a long story, and since it involves information from people related or connected with him, I don't intend to share the details. The problem is that it was interwoven with so much speculation by one person that it never got posted about in detail. But with years of history behind this, I can only recommend people steer very clear.
