Electra Glide Ultra Kahn II and NOISE

I just got an Electra Glide Ultra Kahn II for my Theta Dreadnaught II and it hums! Not a big "must have the polarity wrong" hum like the last EG chord I got, but a very annoying hum none the less. Anyone else run into this? Will it go away? Sounds good otherwise. The Verastarr that this replaces was relatively black in comparison. I'm ready to give up on this manufacturer. The amp end does not fit snuggly and for this price...you would think they would gold plate the contacts at least.

I don't think running it into the PS UO will ground it - if it did, you wouldn't hear the hum from the Dreadnaught. I am using an Elrod Statement on the Dreadnaught that I am listening to and it sounds superb. I'd suggest contacting the Cable Company - they have a "lending library" of power cords and cables. You can borrow from the library and try several different cords in your system to find what works best for you before you buy.

What company can't even enunciate to their customers that the third wire is not connected...losers.

Tvad,

I agree with your assessment of the Elrod and DCCA power cords. I just sold my Elrod Sig3 for financial reasons, but recently rebuilt a new system(downgraded?) with the DCCA cords and I am happier with the overall sound than I was previously with my system that cost five times as much. I still can't believe that Scott Hall hasn't come through for you. In any event, companies like Elrod and DCCA will probably run Electraglide "out of Dodge" soon enough.
