So my "Demo" Sablon Audio "2020" Ethernet cable just arrived from across the pond last Friday and I have had an extensive listen over the last few days, general observations:
1.
Bass is the biggest improvement, now much more real sounding, natural tone, in fact I was listening to "Earth Song" by Michael Jackson and the bass line by the acclaimed UK bassist Guy Pratt just sounds glorious, another example is "Tearing the Playhouse down" by Paul Young with the magnificent Pino Palladino on fretless bass, easily the best I have heard it sound.
2.
Noise Floor has an easily appreciable drop, especially noticeable on quite passages such as on "Bad Man's Song" by Tear for Fears, around 6.09 you can really hear a small "Splash" cymbal of around 8", just so very detailed, so transparent.
3.
Soundstage is another area of noticeable improvement, listening to "Island" by the Art Of Noise is wider and deeper and you get a beautiful sense of lushness that I have not heard in the pass.
4.
Dynamics are another area that has been improved, on "For Those About To Rock" by AC/DC just thunders along as if you were almost at one of their shows, another track that is a prime example "I Gear" by Sigur Ros that starts with a silky smooth Xylofone and then shortly after there is a huge wack on a floor tom that jump starts this song before settling down to Jonsi's unique voice, one more example to prove this point is "Expo 2000 (Kling Klang Mix 2001) by Kraftwerk and this sounds simply bombastic turned up loud.
In short a very nice uptick on the previous version, now just to e-mail Mark at Sablon and order mine and send the present demo on its way to the next lucky recipient.
Regards to all
