Matt I haven't tried Sablon power cables. I don't think Bocchino,the company who Mark sources his power cable plugs from, do a UK 13amp plug, only Schuko and US fittings, so unsuitable for my set-up! The Bocchino IEC plugs are incredibly bulky and there may be a conflict, when space is tight on the rear of components. As with Mark's other cables, they enjoy a stellar reputation, online. I think he does the smaller version of his power cords with alternative, regular terminations.

Words like "Crab, Barbel, Plaice, Dace, Piranha" have crept in, overnight!
Weird!

I spotted a fishy inclusion in one of my posts, being dyslexic I thought I had had a bad day when I wrote it, I tried but was unable to edit the embarrassing entry. That was until I saw your reassuring entry SteveC I definitely was "had" the first time since I was 12 years old at my Saturday job being sent next door to a bakers shop for "6 randy tarts".

A friend who worked for GPO Telephones developing fibre optics sent his apprentice to stores for a long wait, he got one.
A couple of weeks later the apprentice was sent for 4 x 6" holes. The apprentice booked out the biggest most expensive piece of metal his pay grade allowed, he gave it to my friend with 4 x 6" holes in it. That was his last initiation prank.

Nothing very special but I use Blue jeans cable in the most important areas and stick to Cat 6 unshielded. It is made up with Belkin cable and you get a full test report of your exact cable .

After reading others advice and because they are not that expensive decided to change my Ethernet cables to the ugreen cat 7 . Quite surprised to find that with each change there was a positive difference and this was cumulative with each section changed . I now have the cables from router to switch , switch to Server and each streaming player all the same . It is now quieter and best I can describe it is textured which adds a more natural realism to the music . Voices and instruments are there and appear real with both the faults and the sublime . Now this has only just been done this morning and all cables are straight out the packet . I would expect that these will burn in with use so will add the Tara Labs burn in over night for a few nights and see were this goes . Thank to all for the heads up on this .

Okay.. Good news... l would say that the the Ugreen CAT 8 has exactly the same sound signature as the CAT 7. So extra speed maybe a bonus. And it's displays a slightly hot on on upper vocal mids, a slight siblance, the CAT 7 has this trait, hopefully give it a few days days it will die down. Apart from that, the pluses outlay any negatives ten fold.
