LFA Audio Silicone Power Cable 2.5m (connector to connector)

IEC C15 to Australian plug

Excellent condition.

Non longer required due to change in setup.

I have a few available (also in 1.2m length). THIS AD IS FOR ONE CABLE ONLY.

RRP on this cable is around AU$1,000 (Gene Rubio website) for a 1.2m length.

This cable was custom made with Australian power plug and purchased a few years ago through Howard Popeck, an LFD Audio distributor in the UK.

LFD Audio is a boutique UK audio manufacturer formed in 1987. Dr Richard Bews, the founder of the company,  is a direct PhD student of Professor Hawksford who formed an audio group which carried research into audio design which MSC's and PhD's were awarded. This was run at University of Essex. LFD was started in 87' by Dr Bews and Professor Hawksford . Dr Bews has much admiration for Be Yamamura who Richard sees as a mentor. From this Richard acquired a passion for creative High End audio, utilising unusual and obsolete parts. The first product was the truly legendary Battery disc stage which is unique and innovative and ultra simple which demanded only the very best parts and wiring including bakelite pure silver leaved capacitors and shinko tantalum film resistors. It was a test bench to evaluate parts wiring and layout. This is a completely floating battery powered design .

With respect to cables; Richard's view is most equipment is limited by the external and internal cables and to improve LFD amplifiers, heavy amounts of research has gone into cables, basically for the R&D of the Multi diameter cables, more than 2 Million US Dollars was invested to produce various diameters and profiles of conductors using a continuous cast processes.

There is very little information about LFD Audio. They don't even have a working website. Most of their sales are through word of mouth. Information can be found on Audio Forums such as What's Best Forum.
