Power Cables

[GuillaumeB]

I've tried a number of other mains cables in my system including Chord Sarum TA (which are excellent by the way!) and Sablon. I didn't try the Petit Coronas only the Grand and Quantum. For some reason these didn't sound good in my system, speaking to Mark at Sablon (a true gentleman by the way!) he suggested that this might be due to a clash with my Transparent XL digital cables (which connect my two units and also the MiND 180) due to their high copper content.

Guillaume, great idea to have launched this forum, well done. On power cables, I am a very happy owner of Sablon Quantum and Gran Corona. The former feeds my Bybee Stealth purifier (with furutech's rhodium sockets), the latter connects the purifier to the Devialet. The impact of the power tweaks on the Devialet's sound quality is significant - notwithstanding the effect of the purifier, the Sablon adds transparency, detail, and improve meaningfully the bass (IMOO the power tweak drive a better result than adding a second Devialet in my system, which I have tried for a couple of weeks). Then I tried Sablon's panatela speakers cables and after two weeks of trial decided to purchase them (replacing nanotec's amazing sp79 sr/special which are going to feed my newly acquired Boenicke W5 monitors). The panatela brought fluidity and additional musicality to the Sophia's... I wonder if there are synergies at play here among the various Sablon-made cables?

Hi GTX, that's great to hear. Keep hearing good stuff about Sablon and Mark is a lovely chap. How are you finding SAM for the Sophia 3?
