Electraglide Ultra Kahn / Shunyata Anaconda vx

Guys, I'm soon going to be looking for a very high quality power cable for my transport (system details below) and have both the Ultra Kahn Statement 2 and Anaconda vx on my shortlist. The qualities I favour are musicality and a full bodied tonal structure, with excellent micro-dynamics to recreate a realistic ambiance. I already have an anaconda vx which i think is great however a dealer (with an excellent reputation who stocks both brands) has suggested I will love the Ultra Kahn even more. Alternatively maybe you can suggest other models which may work well for me. I've heard good things about elrod however they are too inflexible for my tastes; similarly any views about the Wollf Carbon Ribbons would be appreciated. thanks Mark

Jasonmcguire what's the deal with your count them 3 posts on 3 separate threads today shilling or at least looks alot like shilling regarding the newest greatest Electra Glide Epiphany. and now from above I see this
"Gosh Jason,
I don't remember selling you one of my new Carbon
Ribbon Gain cords that have only been in production for
a month now. To my knowledge, there are only 3 people in the USA that have them.But I may be wrong." Michael Wolff
I believe he would have remembered if you were 1 of the 3 U.S. buyers of the said cords.
And you happen to have a customer review of the new epiphany cord on the new Electra Glide website is this all just some big coincidence or a conspiracy of some sort?

Good one Mejames.

In the past 5 months I have purchased two Elrod Statements, an EPS-2S and an EPS-3S, Michael's cable (which was actually on a free trial basis which he will see when he checks his records and which I have the FedEx return slip to prove), two NBS Monitor 0's and a Monitor 1, an Electra Glide Ultra Khan Statement II, four Electra Glide Epiphany's and finally a Purist Audio Design Dominus. All of which, except the Epiphany's, I have resold on Audiogon or returned to the manufacturer (Michael). I still need to sell an Electra Glide Ultra Khan Statement II R, an NBS Monitor 0 and an Elrod EPS-3S that are for sale now.

I've had the Epiphany's for almost two weeks now and they are amazing.

Have you ever tried the current Electra Glide cables, or Michael's cable? If so how do they compare to the Anaconda VX? Which I have never tried and nor do I claim to. You have a nice system but all XLO cables?

I do not have either a Khan or Anaconda, but do have the new Michael Wolff Gain cords and find them to be very dynamic and fast - I have 4 runs, as my Atma-Spheres MA 2.2s each take 2 PCs, so could not compare them with many others, but they are certainly not too polite or flat for my tastes. I am very happy with them. This is not off-topic, since MW cables were mentioned as lacking in dynamics and I dont agree.

I suppose the "nice system but all XLO cables?" was mostly directed at my cheap XLO REFERENCE 2 TYPE 10A power cords? I will tell you this they have been cryoed and cooked on the Audiodharma cooker after this treatment they actually make a 3 times more expensive Shunyata Python sound like it's a joke and an expensive one at that. I better go get the fire extinguisher out now here comes the flames.

I have not tried the Anaconda, however have tried many Synergistic Research, Shunyata, Harmonix, and Electraglide power cables.

On my front end I have not found a cord that has bettered the Electraglide Ultra Khan II... I have not tried the Epiphany yet, however I am told they are ridiculously good. The Electraglide Ultra Khan II beat other cords in all areas so obviously I ended up buying Electraglide cables for my entire system. They used to be mixed for each component, however when I started swapping in the new Electraglides, everything just seemed to get better in all areas. I was worried about "too much of a good thing" with all Electraglide cables... not the case. Just a good thing.
