Reviews for Merlin Tarantula MK6 UK Mains Power Cable

British hifi quality build product excellent

Very well made cable.

I have a Bluesound Powernode 2i with a pair of Shure SRH1540’s. With the factory supplied power cable, the sound was OK but the bass always seemed a little lacking.

However, with this 2-meter Merlin Tarantula MK6 UK Mains Power Cable (2019), it makes the Powernode 2i sound like a whole new, better, machine. After plugging it into my regular 6 gang extension cable, the overall sound is far more realistic & accurate, with the Bass notes really kicking in where it should be.

I was very sceptical about spending so much money on a single cable, but personally I have found the improved quality of the music so great, it was well worth it. I can only recommend other Powernode 2i users do the same.

Does it need ‘Run in’? Personally, I would say yes. At first the bass was a little too much, but after a few days it seems to have settled down and now sounds really good overall.

I use them to my amplifier, CD transport and even my Sky q box. Everything sounds clearer and bass deeper and better defined. The sound and picture from the SKY Q box is better defined and clearer. The normal TV looks like HD. I have used other mains leads in the past but these seem to be a big step up. Highly recommended. Unbelievable upgrade for a very reasonable price.

I thought that it was a lot of money to spend on a power cable for my Sky Q box. I decide to try it out and if there was no improvement send it back for a refund. I could not believe the difference!

The picture was much clearer. I could hardly tell the difference when watching a uhd film before, now it is so much better. The sound is also better, clearer, with cleaner treble and the bass is clearer and deeper. This cable is most differently not going back. Highly recommended.

This cable cleared up the sound. More detail and more power behind the bass. Only one problem. It has exposed the limits of my amp. Just bought a Rega Brio.

Tried it with the standard cable and then the Tarantula. Same effect as with my previous amp but sonically much better.

Delivery as expected with good packaging. Noticed cleaner sound with less noise.

Really happy with this 2019 version of the Merlin Tarantula power cable. I use this on the latest Merlin Black Widow Mains block & it’s a great combination! The sound is very neutral & with natural midrange.

This Merlin Tarantula MK6 is brilliant!

It has delivered stark improvements to areas that I did not believe were possible to such an extent.

I now have a big cohesive soundstage, fantastic mids, a more detailed, sweet and intricate treble and a nice deep, tight, textured bass. Great dynamics, sound is visceral, live and 3D. Ace.

I can’t experienced the difference compare with the factory supplied cable, I use it no matter on my stereo amplifier, streamer, or dac, I can’t experience any difference at all, although the price is low, however I expect there should have some difference with standard cable
