Cullen Cable

I contacted Patrick last night and received a reply this morning. He's still making and selling cables. I'd like to order another Crossover and he said sure, just order it from him. I asked him if his line of cables will be the same with W4S and he didn't comment.

It sounds to me like Patrick is still making and developing new cables.  They offer high value IMHO, so I’d reach out to him and see if he’s still making his cables.  I will say I was surprised as I’m not sure what the synergies and cost savings are by partnering with Wyred4Sound, but obviously there’s some benefit somewhere.  With the margins in the cable business I know if it was me I wouldn’t wanna merge with anyone, so maybe it’s not really a merger but a buyout where Patrick got a big, and well-deserved, payday and is now employed by W4S.  That makes more sense  to me.  Anyhoo...

Damn...I was about to order a power cable.

Now Patrick has a notice about the merger on his website. It links to Wyred 4 Sound but his cables aren't displayed. 

 

I hope this is a move forward, those of you who followed the Wyred merger with Carver know that it was a disaster. Manufacturing of the Carver amps was inferior to that of the Bob Carver Co. The new company was dissolved and production went back to Carver.

I got two Cullen power cords a couple months ago.  Took around two weeks to arrive. 

I have his power cords for years & last summer wanted to do a full loom, emailed with no reply.

Tmac1700,

Did you ever get your cables?

Maybe because that's not the name of the company.

So I'm assuming he's not making cables at the moment. I'm curious if the cables sold on wyred world will still carry his name. Anyone have experience with Wryed World products? I've never heard of them until now.

Big getting bigger.

 

Looks like he sold his business to Wyred 4 Sound. 

He called it a merger, but the important thing is that he’ll still be making cables and generating new products.

Get something better like Furutech..or Tara Labs.

 

How silly.

Looks like he sold his business to Wyred 4 Sound. 

Patrick did get back with me and everything's fine. He's just real busy. With that, I ordered a couple more power cables

A couple of months ago I ordered my first Cullen cable, a crossover PC. At about the 3 week point I emailed him for an update and he got back with me right away, said I'd have them in a few days and that did happen. About four and a half weeks ago I ordered two more. Thought I would receive them by now but I know he's busy. I did email him for an update 5 days ago and haven't heard anything. Likely he's just really busy but it's always nice to get that email to know everything is in process

Patrick's usually pretty quick to respond. Shoot him an email.

I've ordered 4 power cords from Cullen. My most recent order during the Covid lockdown took about 4 weeks to arrive. 

I bought a pc from him last winter and he was having trouble getting the plugs,so it ended up being a couple of extra weeks.

Ooops-- don't know where my aging brain was at-- it was XLR IC's that I ordered!  

Last month I ordered  a power cord from Patrick and waited about two weeks.

He responded in a timely manner to all emails as well.   

i got digital and power cables from cullen about 6 mos ago, good communications and fast turnaround at that time

Thank you all for the responses. I've had cables made from him before and have had nothing but positive experiences. Its because of that I was just wondering what others have experienced lately. I hope this thread doesn't come off as negative twds him. If so, if there's a way to delete please let me know. 

Sometimes things mysteriously fall through the cracks for no apparent reason. Try calling or drop an email for clarification. I suspect that there is an atypical situation happening and Patrick has fallen behind. Could be as simple as shipping or supply chain issues. Communication is the answer. 

Patrick Cullen is apparently WAY backed up in orders.  My last two orders (Crossover II power cable, and power box took a long time to get here, think it was almost 2 months.  Previous orders were much quicker.  Email him, he responds quickly to give updates, but I wouldn't expect super quick TAT.

My last dealing with Patrick was 18 mo the ago- he was super prompt 

That's way longer than normal.  Have you tried contacting him?  Replies?

I never had issues with Cullen Cables, every time I ordered their power cables. Did you email or call them to find out about the delay?

The two times I did business with Cullen Cable they were very quick to respond and supply the order, that was before the pandemic though. Hope all is well with them.

Drop them an email, that is a long time for a pair of interconnects.  Did you already get charged for them?
