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

ok I posted directly after Michael Wolff's 2nd post to this thread I suppose I was still writing my first response and your answer reminding Michael you demod his cord was posted before my post was posted. When I posted my comment it seemed like Michael had absolutely no recollection of you whatsoever. I therefore did not see your reminder post untill after I was done posting or I would not have mentioned this subject at all. sorry.

Sean, don't be afraid..I won't hurt ya. Cat got your tongue? Hard to believe. Hey, let's keep it to principles before personalites. Fair? I'm interested in your take: "nuetral cables" peace, warren

Warren: By nature, a well designed power cable that attempts to achieve a lower noise floor is NOT "neutral" in itself. As such, i've already answered your question.

Power cords are PART of a power delivery SYSTEM. When you count on them to perform major filtering through manipulation of the bandpass and / or cleanse a component of incoming RFI & EMI all by themselves, you've assigned a helluva lot of complex work to what is basically a relatively simple passive circuit with minimal parts count. If you would like further details, try reading this thread about transformers here on Agon. Sean

Sean, thanks for the info. I found it very interesting. Well, at least, what I understood. A little too scientific for me. I'm interest in what power cords you have found through your listening experiences to have the lowest noise floors. peace, warren
