Electraglide Epiphany vs Kubala-Ssna vs....
Hi, I was wondering if you could give your opinion of the sonic differences that you heard using the Epiphany vs the Epiphany X on the DAC or preamp (assuming you did this comparison). Thanks 
Electra Glide Ultra Kahn II and NOISE
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 Comp... 
Electra Glide Ultra Kahn II and NOISE
1markr is correct. The Electraglide PC that you have does not have the ground conductor and the Theta Dreadnaught II amp (that I am currently auditioning in my system) requires a PC with the ground. Also, IMO, the EG UKII is a PC that is better su... 
ExactPower EP15A
Thanks for all of the info. It does sound like the SP15A is defintely worth trying with the only caveat being that I use an Electraglide Epiphany on my CDP. Nsgarch/Hassel have you noticed any sonic changes to the sound of either the EP15A or SP15... 
ExactPower EP15A
I agree with Nsgarch. I used to use the PS Audio 600 for my front end gear only. I did a direct comparison of the PS Audio 600 to the EP15A in my system and the EP15A was a definite improvement - more extended on the top end and tighter bass. And,... 
AQ Mont Blanc vs Pikes Peak
I also have Pike's Peak and have been looking to upgrade higher in the AQ lineup. In lookng at the Mount Blanc, the only difference that I can tell from Pike's Peak is the use of only PSC+ in MB and a mixture of PSC and PSC+ in Pikes Peak. So, tec... 
PS Audio Statement vs Cardas Golden Ref I/C?
Hi Ipy, your system and room looks very nice. I was using the PS Audio Statement Power cords on my amplifier until a few weeks ago. I would suggest, that before you replace your I/C, you look at comparing some power cables first. Originally I had ... 
Vandersteen sub purchase and placement?
Dwight - one other source of very good information on this subject is Richard Hardesty's Audio Perfectionist Joural. The web site address is www.audioperfectionist.com. Click on Free Journals and select Journal2rl - this is an excellent source on ... 
Vandersteen sub purchase and placement?
Dwight - I think the best way is to try and see how it works for you in your room. When I pulled my 2W's (or my V2W) out of their corner placements to see how it would sound, the output levels of the subs drops noticeably for me - hence the corner... 
Vandersteen sub purchase and placement?
Hi - I had the virtually the same configuration as you do (I don't have the VSM's for the rear surrounds). If you are going to use either a 2W or 2Wq - these are more for music than home theater - the V2W is specifically for video and can only be ...
