Description
The Fontainebleau is a high-end mains cable designed by Absolue Créations to power the electronics of a hi-fi system. It connects between the wall socket and a component of the audio chain, such as an amplifier, a player or a digital source, replacing the original mains cord.
This type of cable is offered in several lengths, with the possibility of obtaining an additional length in increments of 30 cm beyond the standard lengths. This flexibility allows the cable to be precisely adjusted to the configuration of a cabinet or an equipment rack, without tension issues or excessive bending of the cord.
The Fontainebleau is aimed at hi-fi enthusiasts who wish to take care of the power supply of their system, as a complement to electronics already chosen with rigour. It applies to systems where every link in the chain, including the power supply, is considered a factor that can influence the sound rendering.
What to check before buying used
The perceived quality depends greatly on the condition of the mains connectors (wall plug and IEC inlet): tarnished, oxidised or slightly loose pins are enough to degrade the contact. The shielding and sheath should also be checked along the entire length, looking for pinching, excessive twisting or the start of a cut, particularly at the connector exit points. On a non-standard length obtained in 30 cm increments, it is best to confirm that the stated measurement matches the cable received.
