Power Cables

[Mikeeo]

Hi All,

Finally I am close to have my system installed in our new home. However currently I am looking at replacing my Kaptovators for my D400. I look for something with less grain in the top freq and resolution in the mids but have no chance of auditioning other cables than here and there and not in my own system.
Read a lot about the Sablon Coronas and wonder if they would serve as an upgrade. Been in contact with Mark at Sablon who says the Petit would serve the Dev's best.
Any opinion from you who have tested or run these in your systems?

Mark was kind enough to lend me two Sablon Corona Petits to try with my Devialet 250s. I couldn't hear any difference from my existing stuff - though you would need to try - but also the Petits would not fit under the Devialet 250 covers so they were a complete non-starter. I have what are originally D-Premiers from March 2011 and December 2011 and I don't know if the casework has changed on the D-Premier/250 since then (though I doubt it) and I know the 200 and 120 cases are difference and maybe more accommodating.

Thanks Ian,

As for not fitting under hood it is of no concern as I do not use the covers so no problemo there.
Problem for me is that I need Schuko and need to hear them in full bllom ie with Oyaide 004 and 004e. As Mark doesn't stoch 004e (schuko) I will buy full out. The Oyaide 004 makes big difference to any cable imho so having a lender pair with schuko Oyaide p029e is no option.
Did you test with the 004's ?
