You will find this email remarkable that I recently received from a customer:
"I recently saw a used 1-meter pair analog interconnect of yours on Agon, and snapped it up. Having other of your cables and being familiar with the world-class quality of your work, I wanted to see how it did connecting a digital disc player to my preamp. It did fantastically well, which now has me thinking about replacing the 40-foot connection between the preamp and my mono amps. I now have interconnects that cost 10x more, which I was also using in the link between my phono stage and line stage, and which your RCA to RCA cable replaced. Now that your cable is fully settled in, it is clearly better than my current interconnects. My system is a high resolution full range system that reveals everything, which is why I want to get your cables, becuase they let everything through without etch, grit or grain. Like a really good cable should, but almost never does! I looked at your website, and it looks like we are talking in the $7,000 to $7,500 range for a 40-foot pair of your analog interconnects. Is that correct? Also, if I were to order these, how long would it take for you to complete them and get them to me? Thanks!" (by the way, this customer immediately ordered the 40-foot pair). Follow up: "The 40-foot pair of cables arrived safely, and I think they are better than my current cables right out of the box! Now that I have put around 20 hours of signal through the cables, they are sounding even better! But I know there is more to come. Not only is the music much purer and more liquid, the noise level has dropped to virtually inaudible, even when putting your ear to the speakers with no music playing. As you know, I have horns, which are not only high resolution, they are also extremely efficient. I will be selling my current cables. And I will be telling my friends that they need to get your cables."
Here is an excerpt from a review that will be instructive for you to consider:
"In the past, I was sucked up in the audiophile fantasyland of cables. I owned very expensive Transparent Audio cables. My "Revelation" occurred after I tried a relatively inexpensive cable and found it to be superior to the Transparent cables I owned. This does not mean Transparent Audio is dishonest; they are excellent in marketing their product. Remember, they are a business, not a charity.
We consumers have to use our heads and mostly our ears.
My system is now entirely Revelation Audio Labs cables. I ordered Paradise balanced interconnect cables and Testament loudspeaker cables from Revelation Audio Labs. They are far less in price than the Cardas Golden Reference interconnects and Silversmith Silver speaker cables I am presently using. I have found that price has very little to do with the ultimate sonic experience with cables. I guess it took me a long time to think for myself.
Remember that Revelation Audio Labs sells direct. It is a small operation with no dealer network, minimal inventory; they build cables when they are ordered. Overhead is far less here than a company such as Kimber or Cardas. Also, the usual dealer markup in audio is 40%. The dealer has his overhead as well.
Is the Revelation Audio Labs the best phono cable? How could I ever know or determine this. The important thing is that it gives me a great deal of pleasure when listening to my music. This is what excites me.
By the way, don't you ever try a Precept AC power cable from Revelation Audio Labs. Like a XXX potato chip, you can't stop at one! I purchased seven (7) of these babies because I felt they were outrageously good.
This, my friend, is the pure audio hobby: buying an unknown product with most likely a very limited resale value — buying a product because it fulfills your musical expectations. The Revelation Audio Labs cables have provided me with one fine ride.” — Dr. Steven Plaskin, writer and reviewer for Audiostream Magazine

This listing is for a brand new 1-meter pair of Revelation Audio Labs 'Paradise' CryoSilver Reference RCA interconnect cables.
BRAND NEW DESIGN REVISION FOR 2023
NEWS ALERT -
Revelation Audio Labs was chosen by Stereophile magazine for their 2023 Recommended Components, which makes it nine consecutive times (also Fall 2022, 2022, Fall 2021, 2021, 2020, Fall 2019, 2019 AND 2018).
https://www.stereophile.com/content/recommended-components-2023-edition-digital-data-interconnects
Revelation Audio Labs was also chosen by The Absolute Sound magazine for the 2018 Golden Ear Award, published in their September issue (#286) - one of only three cable brands to be awarded the 2018 Golden Ear, the only digital cable chosen, and the only cable under the four thousand dollar ($4,000.00) price point. Note: since NO CABLE was chosen for the 2019 Golden Ear Award, we remain as one of the last few cables to receive a Golden Ear Award.
Be aware. Virtually each and every high priced, ’high end’ audio cable is derived from off-the-shelf wires, made from inferior metals, extruded in poor insulators, which are the products of machines which are designed to run wire and cable by the kilometer. This very inexpensive wire comes off a gigantic roll from mass manufacturers that make the most common, ordinary wire. The exterior of the cable is dressed up, jewelry-like connectors are usually installed, and there you have your typical, so-called ’high end audio cable’. Mass produced, packaged, marketed and advertised to project the illusion of high quality exquisiteness. This is the general wire and cable industry infiltrating into the special audiophile cable market. The basic difference between the off-the-shelf cable made by those huge corporations and most high-end music cables boils down to only one thing...the label. The gospel truth is most high end audio cables are not handmade with exacting attention to detail by the hands of an artist who has a passion for music.
Not so at Revelation Audio Labs!
Each and every one of our cables is passionately handcrafted, starting with a single bare conductor, and building upon that. Ours are not cables that are run through machines ordained to spew out vast abundance of commodity. Ours are literally by every sense of the term "made from scratch".
Not to belabor you here, as we encourage you to study our web site Technical Designpage for a full thesis on our design technologies - but as a brief synopsis, this cable set features:
• We start with bare single crystal five-nines (5N) ultra-pure solid core CryoSilver™ conductors – deep cryogenically treated in our exclusive vacuum cryogenic process. Silver is the most electrically conductive of all the elements, and our silver is not your father’s silver. The raw, uninsulated wire used is made by a U.S. company that specializes in precision silver wiring technology primarily for advanced aerospace and medical imaging industries
• Big Air™ dielectrics – the air envelope of each discreet conductor is greatly oversized in diameter relative to the conductor diameter within it
• N.O.S. - U.S. manufactured transparent PTFE Teflon isolator tubes – hermetically sealed to form the air dielectrics. This system provides an air dielectric that is unaffected by ambient atmospheric conditions
• All highest quality German-made WBT Nextgen Ag silver connectors – feature pure solid silver contacts for seamless metallurgic compatibility and synergy with our conductors
• Conduits feature our Ceramic MicroSphere™ technology for absorbtion and dissipation of vibrations, resonances and microphonics, both internal to the cable and external, mechanical and air bourne, as well as for the control of EM energy
• Finally the conduit is covered externally with our new Conductive Carbon Infused Composite (CCIC) jacket. This advanced technology material provides superior EMI/RFI/EMF shielding of the cable. The negative affects that static electrical fields and charges have on audio cables is well documented. In addition to augmented shielding, crucially the Conductive Carbon jacket provides ESD (Electro Static Discharge) protection as it dissipates static fields and charges, also eliminating static electrical charges from accumulating in the first place, as their presence robs performance as it does with standard cable insulation. The material absorbs and dissipates static electricity charge build-ups, which occur naturally on common non-conductive materials. It is typical for these charge levels to be in the thousands of volts. All areas of audio performance are enhanced by eliminating static electrical fields and charges from the surfaces of cables. Virtually all other audio cables suffer from the negative sonic effects of stray fields upon the cable
• Connectors are legendary WBT-0102-Ag Nextgen silver RCA's. Are these the best-sounding RCA connectors in the world? All I can tell you is that I have tested every available RCA connector, and in my design these sound the best, and not just by a little bit
• Cables are fully conditioned on our audiodharma Cable Cooker and connector contacts are treated with Furutech Nano Fluid contact enhancer prior to shipment
The cable set is available for immediate shipment. If your installation requires longer lengths, simply let us know and we will accommodate.
Keep this in mind. We are uniquely positioned to custom-build any cable to accommodate your requirements and/or specifications, utilizing our highly reviewed technologies—such as to substitute for an inferior “stock” cable. You will literally be amazed at the performance enhancement such an upgrade will make. Every customer has stated it is the most cost-effective improvement they had ever made to their system, surpassing an equipment replacement upgrade! We would also be delighted to “hot rod” any of our cable designs to your specifications. Our designs are in use in fine audio studios and other professional applications. In fact, did you know that our digital cables are actually in use in-flight by NASA?
TERMS:
We pay the cost of shipping worldwide.
Revelation Audio Labs does not play the marketing game of offering various models, with their respective price points, of a type of cable for a prospective application. This is because each of our cables is simply the very best that it can possibly be, period, and comparable to the very finest cables available, period. Yet, our prices are very competitive, because our factory-direct sales eliminate inevitable distributor mark-up. Everyone deserves only the very best. Why compromise?
We sell directly to the end user, to save you money, but our cables are also proudly carried by the insistence of these fine high end audio dealers:
High End Cable (United Kingdom)
True Audiophile (Portland, OR)
Affordable Audio (Playa del Rey, CA)
Sound of Strings (Hong Kong)
Igal Sabo High End (Israel)
ES Audio (South Korea)
Celebrating our THIRD DECADE of listing and selling our work on our AudiogoN eStore! View our hundreds of great buyer feedbacks dating back to February in the year 2000. What other cable maker selling on AudiogoN can make that claim? We are very proud of our success on AudiogoN, and for all the many people it has enabled us to meet and serve. Thank you for your support. You are most important to us. Without you, we could not do what we do - to be deeply involved in fine music and the beauty it brings to life, bringing you closer to the music you love. I look forward to hearing from you very soon, and to sending you your new cable set. Thank you again!!!
“I have installed a 26-foot pair of your balanced (Paradise) Cryo-Silver interconnects and burned them in for at least your suggested time and am now listening. I will leave it to others to describe the incredible resulting details. I will say only that I have been listening less to the music I love since I can no longer listen as background music. I am pulled into the music I hear as I never have before. A full symphony, quartet or piano concerto leaves me so emotionally and sonically sated that I cannot continue without a breather. Instruments, harmonies, duets, etc. use me up quickly and leave me ecstatic. I am now very careful to select music that I really want to hear for I know that incredible sound is what will come out of my speakers, both instrumentals and vocals. One last but important point is that I now longer have that subliminal urge (around for 50 years) to add or change equipment since I keep reminding myself that I have reached a point of utter satisfaction. Thank you Brad!” — H.S.
“I am sending you a copy of a performance of the Verdi “Requiem Mass.” It was performed in Amsterdam in 1939 just before the beginning of the Second World War. Verdi was an agnostic, but was so moved by the death of a great Italian writer by the name of Manzoni that he was overcome by the need to honor him in God's name. I was so moved when I heard this piece through your cables, notwithstanding the age of the recording. The clarity of the performers was amazing. I was in tears before it ended and I never do that. I do attribute the emotions to the use of your cables for I have listened to the recording before and never had such a reaction.” — H.S.
“I have had my second set of ICs in for about 350+ hours now...and just ordered a digital cable. I seem to be on the way to an all Revelation cabled system. The addition of the second IC was not a subtle change but one easily recognized...even from another room. The balance, the relaxed presentation, the dynamics, the sense of the music, etc., etc.,...all dramatically improved. These ICs have allowed me to much more easily avoid "listening to the system" and just enjoy the music. They were more than a 1+1 improvement. The whole synergy was greatly enhanced. I know “your mileage may vary,” but I am “on the bandwagon.” They have just contributed greatly to my regaining the pleasure of listening, and the reason I (we) are addicts of / addicted to this hobby.” — R.P.
“I have used many interconnect cables in my system, including Audience Au24, Empirical Audio Holophonic PC, Ridge Street Audio Poiema! and Poiema!!, Acoustic Zen (both copper and silver versions), and Kimber Select 1030. Simply said, Revelation Audio Labs Paradise interconnects bring the music to life like no other interconnect I've used in my system.” — G.J.
“Hi Brad, how are you? Your RCA (analog interconnect cable) is great. I have let a Hi-Fi reviewer on hifi.nl hear it and he also admired the great sound of the cable. oh oh oh what a fantastic cable! Beats the Kimber KS. I am going to sell my Siltech interconnect cables. But your interconnect is "growing" yet, and the sound is great. After (further) listening, I shall write a review about the cable. I'm doing my best to promote yor cables in Holland.” — Have a good day, Wijnand www.klaviers.nl
“Hi Brad, The Revelation Audio Labs 'Paradise' CryoSilver Reference interconnects are by far the best I've ever owned, and have owned a really big list of cables. These cables just get out of the way and let the music through - highs, midrange, and low end are right, and where they are supposed to be. This is the most natural, unrestrained sound I have ever had in my system. If high end audio is your thing you need these cables - they won't disappoint. Brad Vojtech has been more than helpful in my quest for the sound of music. Thanks Brad for keeping me up half the night listening to my system again, I do not want to turn it off and go to bed, so I know it is right. You wouldn't put inferior cables on your race car - don't do it on your high end music system. These cables are truly great - and will not cost you an arm and a leg. The only problem is, getting used to these, you won't be able to settle for less - I won't.” —J.R.
Paradise Tone Arm Phono Interconnect (DIN to RCAs):
“I own both the Graham IC-50 and IC-70 tone arm cable. The IC-70 is the superior cable of the two. Using the IC-70 the last several years with the Graham 2.2 tone arm, Koetsu Jade Platinum cartridge, and Basis Debut Vacuum turntable has been very enjoyable.
A problem developed after I replaced the Graham 2.2 tone arm with the Graham Phantom tone arm. The Phantom is a far more revealing tone arm than the 2.2. The IC-70 cable now sounded bright and hard, grainy at the high end and weak in the bass. The biggest loss was the richness of the Koetsu midrange. I'm not taking about warmth, but a very thin sound with loss of body to the midrange of the Koetsu.
I replaced the Graham IC-70 cable with a Revelation Audio Labs Paradise CryoSilver Reference Tone Arm Phono cable. The Revelation was burned in with a friend's Cable Cooker after I owned it one week. After several weeks of burn-in, the sound is outstanding!
The Revelation Audio Labs is the best phono cable I have heard; and I have tried many. The highs are detailed without hardness; the midrange is rich and musical. The bass is tight, deep and powerful. The soundstage is huge with enhanced depth. Most importantly, it draws me into the musical performance.
In the past, I was sucked up in the audiophile fantasyland of cables. I owned very expensive Transparent Audio cables. My "Revelation" occurred after I tried a relatively inexpensive cable and found it to be superior to the Transparent cables I owned. This does not mean Transparent Audio is dishonest; they are excellent in marketing their product. Remember, they are a business, not a charity.
We consumers have to use our heads and mostly our ears.
My system is now entirely Revelation Audio Labs cables. I ordered Paradise balanced interconnect cables and Testament loudspeaker cables from Revelation Audio Labs. They are far less in price than the Cardas Golden Reference interconnects and Silversmith Silver speaker cables I am presently using.

“Finally found the time to get my dealer to come over and set up the Phantom arm two weeks ago. When he had finished, he said he was not happy with this particular sample and asked Graham for another one. This took an extra week to arrive from the States. Anyway, we finally kicked off last Friday and everything sounded good but we had a system hum. So yesterday morning I opened up my ancient Sonic Frontiers step up amp and pre-amp, meticulously took out every valve and cleaned their plugs, etc., as well as all the RCA's on the back plate. That did the trick. Basically, the system has no particular sound, it just plays music, which is what it should do. All I can say is that considering the front end sets the pace of the whole system, the arm, cartridge, turntable and your cable simply have no sonic signature I can detect. As a combo, they are totally neutral, not bright, not dull, just totally transparent and not there. Thanks for a great cable! PS: system is as follows: Simon Yorke S7 turntable, Graham Phantom tone arm, Virus MC cartridge (limited production from Switzerland), Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 Signature series pre-amp, Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 Signature series phono stage, Gamut D200 Mk 3 power amp, Magnepan 2.7 speakers.” — God Bless, Ian, UK
