I spoke with David about the EPS-2 Sig on my amp. It's touted as a source PC, but he said it would work great on my Tube amp. And it does. In the same line of Signature series, the EPS-3 is for amps. So far the EPS-2 is doing fine.
I second the Elrod. I have two feeding my system. One from the wall to my balanced conditioner on my source, the second from my second balanced conditioner to my amp.
They seem to be very neutral. Mine are EPS-2 Signature's.
You can get them used for around $500 or less.
There is a 4ft pair on here now.
I went with the EPS-2 Signature because of finances. The newer the better from all the reveiws I've read. Go with what you can afford. If I could afford it I would step up to the Statement series.
I echo the experience Caliaripaolo had. I have my EPS-2 signature from a dedicated line to my Signature DU-2 wired in ballanced mode and my other EPS-2 is from my Signal DU-5 to my amp. The neutral balance and weight of the music was very nice. It also opened up the soundstage quite a bit.
Dynamics are better also. More attack.
From what I understand, The Statement series is even better. I'm very pleased with the EPS-2's. I'm waiting for a EPS-3 to show up used to go to my amp.
I echo Caliaripaolo. I put an EPS-3 in place of the 2 on my amp and there was a noticable improvement in energy, attack and bass.
I then put the EPS-2 on my CD players tube output stage and was blown away by the soundstage improveents.
I'll be getting another 3 Fri. to go between my balanced cond and the wall.
That make two 2's and two 3's in my system. They are definately accumulative.
Caliaripaolo, I have my rack about 1 ft from the wall.
I had to carefully bend and loop the PC to make it work.
I'm going into a balanced cond. so it was a little easier.
If your going into the wall, you might need to kill the breaker to the wall output and take the recepticle out and flip it over to make the termination line up.
Sometimes the IEC and the three prong plug are upside down from each other and wont line up to the wall.
They are a patient tester. It will be worth the effort.
