Power Cables

Does it fit under the back cover of your 200?

Yes

The Petit Corona is pretty thick and does move the Devialet around if you move the cable accidentally.

What I'm worried about is the long-term effect of the downwards pressure on the Dev's mains terminal. The Dev is superbly built and looks as if it should withstand any strain, but it would be crazy to do damage to the mains terminals all for the sake of the putative, untested improvement in SQ from the Sablon cable.

To prevent damage and maintain the best contact between the male IEC input and the power cable's female IEC plug,
it's important to have a tight fit.

Many of the female IEC plugs on expensive power cords that I've seen don't fit tightly into cheap male IEC inputs like the one on the Devialet.

To get a tight fit, put a piece of heat shrink on the female IEC plug.

If you're not getting an improvement in SQ from the Sablon cable, use the stock power cord.

IMO, a 7 awg power cord is not "petit," and not required for the power draw of the Devialet, unless you're running a very long power cord.

No matter what gauge power cord you connect to the Devialet, the power has to go through the tiny components inside its filtered IEC input.
