Bhouser-
I personally have not owned the Mini Khan, or the Ultra Khan Statement II Rev. I would suggest going to Electraglide's website and emailing Scott for sonic differences.
The literature that comes with the cable states to start with the preamp (best cable there) I believe.
In my personal experience, I found my system to sound its best with the best powercords I own (Ultra Khan II Statements) in this order:
1 - UK II Statement on the BPT BP-3.5 Sig balanced line conditioner
2 - UK II Statement on my Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP cd player
3 - UK Mini Khan Plus on First Sound Preamp
4&5 - UK Mini Khan Plus' on my monoblock amps
Hope this is of some help. I would try the second best power cord on both your cd player and preamp. Your results may vary.
