Power Cables

The FI-15E definitely fits (I use a pair with my 400).  It looks to me as though the Oyaide 4781 should also fit but I haven't tried one.

I have tried the Oyaide 4781 on my D250 and it works fine. The Oyaide 4781 has a housing identical to the Schurter 4781 but the metal parts(?) and definitely the plating is by Oyaide. Actually the space on the upper right corner is smaller on the D250/800 than the other models.

I must say that I was vey sceptical concerning PC, since I´ve tried a few with my old amplifier without any bigger effect.
I have been using 2 DIY-cables for some time now, but after buying a second D200 and went D400, I thought it would be nice to give PC a try. Today I got a good price on 2 LessLoss Reference PC and I thought I would give it a try, thinking that I could always get my money back if selling them, since I got a good price.
The difference was quite spectacular, I have only listened for a few hours but the soundstage has really widened and it feels almost like a veil has been liftened. It sounds more "live" in a good way. I will write a longer report as soon as I´ve listened some more.
I´ve tried other "tweaks" with the Deviate that I thought would make a difference but didn´t, and I really didn´t expect the PC to make a difference.

Hey Johan, do you plug the PC into the wall or a power conditioner/filter?

Straight into wall though I´ve been thinking of giving a power conditioner a try.

Fellow Devialet owners,

After using my normal power cables on my new Devialet 200, it is clear that power cables matter to its performance.

I have tested Graditech Voima and it improves almost every facet of the Devialet sound - I am using Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor.

I am also reading a lot about Sablon Audio's range of power cables being suitable for Devialet.

Two questions that I hope to get some insights:

1) Anyone who have tested both Graditech Voima and Sablon Audio Petit Corona? Which is better?

2) If I am buying a Sablon Audio cable, and I don't care for using the back cover of Devialet, should I go for Petit Corona or Grand Corona?

Thanks much for any guidance!!

I've not heard the Graditech. I preferred the Petit Corona over the Gran Corona by quite some margin. It goes against the law of expensive things being better but there you go.

I just found my power cables for the Devialet: an Audioplan Powercord S3. It fits under the cover without problems and is really making a huge difference. I tried several other cables, Vovox Textura, Furutech 314, Viablue X-40, even a very expensive Siilent Wire reference. All these cables are better than a standard cable, but only the Audioplan is really worth the money. Maybe there are cables that are even better, but only very few cables allow to close the lid.

Just FYI, I got myself a pair of Cullen Crossover Series Power Cable last summer and got Patrick Cullen to terminate it with a plug that fits under the Devialet cover (cost around 200USD). I am very pleased with the sound quality, but I am even more impressed by the material and craftsmanship; heavy, stiff, thick silver cables, twisted and put inside a heavy duty braid screen, then twisted with teflon dielectric material and finally in a black sleeve. The service was also extraordinary good, Patrick even advised against me spending more money on his stuff when he heard about the other cables/ filters I had. And just for the record, I have no interests in Cullens business.

Hello, Vivialet. Is your Audioplan S3 1.5m or 2m long? It fits under the back cover. So are you using the 15A US plug? Thanks.
