Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II

Erdog,
I don't have the Dragon amps but if they're re anything like their siblings the Frankenstein MK II they'll be very uncolored and superbly transparent. You'll definitely hear everything upstream in your system, even the tiny changes. You are right to address the source and get that to your full satisfaction
Charles, .

Kudos to Sablon Audio! I have been listening to the new version Gran Corona power cords on my Coincident Dragons and I'm hearing at least a 40-50% improvement. I didn't know how flat and asleep my stereo sounded until I began using these power cords 2 days ago. The music now has so much depth and dimension. Lots more weight and authority too. The added weight and authority makes the music sound more realistic and natural sounding. I'm shocked at the huge jump in performance I'm getting from these power cables. Previously I was using Audience Powerchords, which are an excellent all around cables, but the Sablons are in a different league, not even close. I also have one powering my dac and it also gave it a big jump in performance.

I highly recommend trying these Sablon power cables.

I wasn't unhappy at all with my current Coincident power cords but I just tried Coincident's newest Extreme power cord and couldn't resist expressing my views.
This, like other Coincident products, is a remarkable breakthrough in PC's. The new one is made using OCC copper and different geometry. It is noticeably thicker in diameter and a bit stiffer than the previous model. More importantly is the sound. The noise floor is so much lower , than a previously already very low noise floor (with the earlier CSR Extreme PC's), that the inner details and fine nuances of recordings that give ambient clues and information become more revealed that it is actually uncanny. The dynamics and leading edges appear to ERUPT from total blackness. This cable is highly recommended and has had one of the biggest impacts on my sound system than anything I've change in the last few years.
This is based on only a single pc change on my Coincident Statement Linestage. I will now replace all my CST extreme with these new ones and cant wait to hear how the Frankensteins and Dragons improve .No doubt the synergy will be incredibly impressive. Kudos to Mr. Blume......Again!

Drdavid,
Thanks for the new power cable update, they impact your CSL that much? Israel has been a busy guy the past year.
Charles,

Hi Charles.
Yes, much more than I actually expected. As natural and transparent as the CSLS is, I sincerely found this new PC a game changer. Also when you consider the price,it astonishing to be able to get such a leap in performance, of an already outstanding linestage,for such a relatively tiny investment. For me, the improvement was instantaneous and very obvious right out of the box. And it is still not finished breaking in!
I have ordered more PCs for my Dragons and Franks and I am really looking forward to the synergistic improvements that I should experience.
BTW I switched my Black Bottle Psvanes on the Franks for the Royal Princess , which I thought was a very nice improvement. Not that the BB Psvanes were bad, I actually think they are very good for the money, but the Sophias just did things a bit better.
I actually kept the BB but moved then to my Dragons ,driving the Pure Reference Extreme subs, and was a bit surprised on how they improved the subs, being that on the Dragons the 300b are not the output tubes.

I recently was able to source a matched pair of AVVT 300b SL and really look forward to hearing a tube with such a great reputation and lineage.
Regards,
David
