Sablon Audio Cables

There has been some discussion on this site, of Mark's cables. The origonal cable was the Robusto and that is the sweetspot in the range for me. I have several pairs,as I do of the equally well spoken of, Lessloss origonals. I love them both, though they are different, tubes to SS if you like, the Robusto being a bit richer.
I have tried the Uber Robusto, made on the way of developing the Gran Corona and did'nt hear a great difference, to be honest. Mark lent me an RCA pair of the Panatella's. They were very good for the price, but I preferred, my Virtual Dynamic Master cables and Silver Arrow Big Daddy cables. The latter are some Palladium cables made by a one man outfit in the UK

Nice marketing campaign guys !

I have the Panatella which i use between my pre and amp (RCA-XLR) which Mark custom terminated for me. I have 2 Gran Corona PCs. The rest of my system is Transparent Audio Ref XL and XL MM2. The rest of my power cables are Purist Audio Dominus and Ann Contego.

I will say i have compared Mark's to older TA Ref...and i would say dead heat, except where Panatella upper range is more refined/cleaner noise floor, but TA Ref is more liquid. Hope that is helpful.

Yes, I have the Sablon Molto Paella and the Largo Pancetta, which I find to have a nearly non-existent noise floor...almost a "black hole effect" they are so quiet. The only (and I mean ONLY) drawback with the Paella is that it is a bit "spicy" in the upper mids, and the " frequency flavors" if you will sometimes do not combine quite right. The Pancetta, though. WHOA, watch out now, because these babies just DESTROY the value to performance ratio. NO spice here, and that same death star gone dark noise floor is still there in spades. Can't wait to get my hands on the new Cantibile (supposedly, it means "in a singing style") coming out soon!!

I auditioned the Panatela IC's and the Gran Corona cord. Bought them both. Quiet and detailed. Huge difference over admittedly less expensive cables.
