Findings:

• The Salvation Sariel is a premium cable aimed at excellent aesthetics, build quality, and sound quality for its price. The sound improvements depend on the setup itself, whether it is responsive to subtle changes or not.
• The cable tries to make everything smooth and neutral without any perceived detail loss. Floor noise seemed to be perceived less compared to stock cables, which also means an improved, blacker background. Technical performance is similar and, once again, is determined by the IEM and eartips rather than the cable used.

The Salvation Sariel is an excellent premium flagship cable if you have the resources to avail it for your expensive IEM. Even disregarding its "promised sound improvement" alone, the Sariel sure is worthy of its price in terms of its build quality and materials used for its craftsmanship.

Thank you for reading!
