I own Epiphany X, Elrod statement, Kubala-Sosna Emotion, Jena Model One, and Pranawire Maha-Samadhi power cords and have had time to closely evaluate them all. I find the Epiphany X cord fine for my solid state amps in my HT system, but too unrefined for any of the components in my mostly tubed 2CH system. In my preferred/more used 2ch system, the X was close to being unmusical , no matter where I put it, except for the power conditioner. The Kubala Sosna is about the same price and IMS/IME/IMO a much more versatile pc and sounds better on my digital and amps compared to the X. Currently in my 2ch system I use a combination of Elrod Statements (monoblock amps) and Jena Model One pcs (digital sources) and Pranawire (analog source).
Electraglide Epiphany , Upgrade or Downgrade?
I have seen lots of Electraglide Epiphany (not X) up for sales, especially from dealers - people must be buying or maybe not at all. I am using one on the cd player and very please with it. For those of you who have owned this cord - what other cords have you tried and do you considered it an upgrade or downgrade? Keep in mind, powercords like other interconnects are system dependent and I am only interested in your opinion based on what you hear in your setup. For those who do not own the Epiphany need not to comment.
