Electraglide Ultra Kahn / Shunyata Anaconda vx

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.

Audiofrankj,

I agree completely. I use to mix and match like a mad scientist trying to get the right balance: add a little NBS for extension and soundstage, an Elrod for bass and midrange balance and put the Electra Glide Ultra Khan on the tranport etc. Yet, I could never make it all sound how I really wanted it to.

I was worried that an all Electra Glide system could be too much of a good thing, like when I had too many NBS power cables in my system, but they are so balanced and faultless that it worked out perfectly.

No offense Mejames, I just gave you a little dig after you gave me two of them. I am sure the XLO cables sound great and I'll take your word that they sound better than the Anaconda. Just as I am sure you will give us all the benefit of the doubt how great the Electra Glide cables sound.

On another subject: Michael, did you find me in your records yet? I really enjoyed dealing with you as you are a gentleman. Please clearify this and let this thread know that Jason McGuire of Coral Gables, FL did infact have a Gain cable for a short period of time before I returned it to you. Thanks, Jason.

Yes I did Jason and I do remember you. True you did try the older version of the Gain cord which has now been replaced by a newer model. Springbok is one of the three that have them in his system. I also remember that it was a pleasure working with you.

Hope things are going well for you.
Best,
Michael

Thanks Michael I appreciate the clarification.
So you have a revised version of the Gain cord out? Very interesting.

Jason

Could some of you guys in the know please give us your educated opinions on the following??? -

-- Compare the sonic signatures of the Mini-Khan, Mini-Khan Plus and Ultra-Khan Statement II/Rev

-- Where do you think each model is at its best in a system (ie, on an amp, PLC, CD player, tube preamp, etc)?

I ask because I have 2 M-K Pluses and 1 M-K, (along with a plethura of Shunyatas and a pair of Elrod Sig's) and would like to know the best place to devote each cable.

BTW - I just bought a new BPT 3.5 Signature PLC. Chris has just changed the ENTIRE chassis to anodized black, thick ALUMINUM (instead of the thinner brushed-silver stainless steel). It has FAR better EMI/RFI and resonance control, and looks fantastic - a much more substantial and classy design.

It still comes standard with the 'extra' faceplate in your choice of silver or black, and is still a luggable 80 pounds. I intend to use one of my Elrod Sigs on it when I finally get all my gear placed in its final rack locations.
