A number of years ago I replaced my umbilical with an Audio Magic Illusion umbilical. At that time, AM made these with liquid conductors instead of copper or silver. Changing that umbilical made an astonishing difference. It was a component upgrade level improvement. Unfortunately, the liquid air conductors are no longer offered as an option. However, it might be worth contacting Jerry at AM and see what he says. Regardless, you can certainly do better than the stock umbilical.
Modwright Umbilical cords
I own a Modwright Marantz CD/SACD player with the stock umbilical. Overall its a fine cord but like all things I'm wondering if improvements can be made. I'd be very interested in any feed back people may have on upgrading this cord. I know Modwright recommends the WyWires. Are there any others out there people might recommend? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
