Those westminister are pricey but gotta admit I’m envious.

Re: X1 power supply umbilical cable upgrade sources?
I like how they started with the Lumin umbilical, now they have a full line of cables. I need to start my own, “Made in Canada” should appeal a bit more than China or Hong Kong.

Re: X1 power supply umbilical cable upgrade sources?
I just decided to order the new Lumin X1 cable from Westminster Labs. I haven’t bought anything for a few years so it’s time to try something new.

Re: X1 power supply umbilical cable upgrade sources?
How do you get more information / details on these, with pricing? The website isn't useful. I emailed the dealer and got a fairly terse reply with just a price of 250 e, with no other information or alternatives, which appear to exist based on the price of the cable you're buying.

Re: X1 power supply umbilical cable upgrade sources?
The Westminster Labs cable arrived tonight (Tuesday) about 6:30 PM, which was perfect since Tuesday and Friday night are music and beer nights. Since this power cable is so short compared to the stock X1 power cable I had to move the X1 to the center of the rack, and put the power supply on the left side. Naturally, this turned into a major exercise as I tried to maneuver the Shunyata power cord from the right side of the rack to the left. Of course while doing this I managed to knock the power cord off of another piece of gear. Finally I got the gear rearranged and all the power cords installed and turned the gear back on. There were no flames or smoke so this exercise was successful.
Now that I have about 30 minutes of listening time on it I can say there is an obvious improvement in sound quality. The sound has a bit more presence and punch to it. Not that the previous sound was bad, but this is a bit clearer. I will let the cable get acclimated to its new home, and give another review Friday night. However, I am satisfied with my first audio purchase in 2-3 years.
The cable itself appears to be a solid, well made, piece of gear, and I am more than happy with this purchase.Bud

Re: X1 power supply umbilical cable upgrade sources?
Today, a week later, I have to say this cable is amazing. It has been installed and burning in for a week, and I am just amazed at how good the system now sounds. It is hard to believe that a 0.6 meter cable with premium carbon fiber shield carrying low voltage DC can make this big a sound difference. But it does! I am just amazed at the clarity and impact of the sound I am now hearing. Granted, this is my first audio purchase/upgrade in three year so I might be biased, but so be it. The audio detail is so clear while still being very, very musical. This has to be the best low cost ($1700) purchase I have ever made, or at least tied with an earlier Shunyata power cable purchase. If you have a Lumin X1 I can only say you should try this cable.

Do you know anything about the cable other than it has a “carbon fibre shield”?

AudioSensibility Silver DC cable in the house. Playing it in now.
Very hard to compare because you have to go off memory and cant a/b. So far, like what I’m hearing even if the differences are subtle. Bit more detail, separation, bass tautness, more pronounced attack. Bit less fleshed-out though. All could be my imagination though. Overall, sounds good to me, so I won’t overthink it.

Re: X1 power supply umbilical cable upgrade sources?
Here are the ones you should buy. I have them on my Pass Labs XVR-1 3way crossover. Outstanding! Not that expensive - quick ship too. There's a thread over on WBF about them.
