Revelation audio labs

Well Well ,
        Brad a name I would prefer to forget.I ordered a complete set of his cords for my Nu Vista a few years back including power chord. He was so fast to respond at first ,then I payed him .
        Weeks passed ,emails of his kids and family blah blah. A month passed and I had not received a tracking order, emails dwindled and calls went to no voicemail.Luckily I am from Florida but currently residing in California .When I explained my flying in to visit or having my friends stop by for an audio audition. miraculiously my cables shipped.This was in the range of a three month span.
        I honestly wanted to throw them in my wood stove upon receiving them.As for quality ? they are well made retailing at like 1400 for the set. I payed no where near that which instantly made me think he needed money to finish someones previous set.. I might add he approached me after reading I was running a nu vista amp with remote power supply.
        A few weeks passed I burned them in I guess ,He wrote me to ask how I liked them ,I did not respond, although they were a definite upgrade.
        Another red flag to me was he asked about my a/c length , I explained it may increase from 2ft to maybe 6ft over changes being made .His response there is no additional charge for 4 more ft !
       I wouldn't call bs on his product but his "build it in the garage and ship it when the next guy pays me sucked"
      I would avoid him ,to be blunt ....

       Also hello everyone ,I have been off agon for awhile ,my son just turned two lol . I am still rocking in a dedicated room ,my ht room is mostly for frosty the snowman and dory lately
 

On Dec. 21, I paid Brad for an HDMI cable, based on his email stating "I am pleased to inform you that I will have your custom 2-ft. length at your door by week’s end…"
Here I am three weeks later, and no cable, no contact about the status, and now he does not respond to email or telephone calls.
IMHO he is still a liar and a thief, despite his claim be be a Christian.
I suggest that you not buy from Revelation Audio labs, or perhaps offer him a 20% down payment with the remainder on delivery.

This is the first time I have left a negative comment on a purchase, and I should have seen this thread before I purchased it from Brad. I am absolutely surprised that RAL's 'unique' business ethics have survived the company for over a decade.

I inquired Brad about the cables and paid immediately when he promised that the cable would arrive by the end of the week. Then, I heard nothing from Brad for a month before I initiated the dispute with Amex. Funny enough, my cables were shipped almost immediately after. 

I will not consider any future purchases with RAL again. COD payment only means that Brad is pretty sure that his customers are decent people who will pay and their trust can easily be manipulated. 

I ordered an umbilical cable from him for my Supratek phono stage. Got pleasant service, easy communication, and it was built and shipped in a timely manner. No issues whatsoever. I recommend him. 

I ordered two Supratek umbilical cables from Brad roughly two years apart.  Both cables were delivered to me inside of ten days.  Never a problem with delivery or communication in my dealings with Brad.
