Electraglide Ultra Kahn / Shunyata Anaconda vx

Guys, I'm soon going to be looking for a very high quality power cable for my transport (system details below) and have both the Ultra Kahn Statement 2 and Anaconda vx on my shortlist. The qualities I favour are musicality and a full bodied tonal structure, with excellent micro-dynamics to recreate a realistic ambiance. I already have an anaconda vx which i think is great however a dealer (with an excellent reputation who stocks both brands) has suggested I will love the Ultra Kahn even more. Alternatively maybe you can suggest other models which may work well for me. I've heard good things about elrod however they are too inflexible for my tastes; similarly any views about the Wollf Carbon Ribbons would be appreciated. thanks Mark

I also like on my Digital the Ultra Khan Statement ll better than the Andaconna VX and the Michael Wolf Source cord .
With the UK the sounds stage is huge and has great bass, midrange and treble qualities .

The Andaconna made the bass sound weird compared to the UK.
The Wolf Cord lacked dynamics.

What is this? Pick on my product today.
Ozzy this is what you wrote me in an e-mail:

I have used your Power cable for about 2 weeks to power low level equipment = 2 VCR's a CD player and a Pink noise generator.
Did not care for the sound , it was weak in just about evry area that is important.
Then with your blessing I ran it 3 days on the cable Cooker and them I let it rest for 1 day.
I must tell you today the sounds is excellent, everything is vastly improved.
Originally I was not willing to pay 2 dead flies for your power cord .

I have already purchased the Shunyata Python VX , so if I keep your cable I will have to sell that one.

So, after all my trials and such what kind of price can I get your cable for ?

Now Ozzy, it appears you are just upset because I wouldn't discount the cord to you.

Next person please,
Michael Wolff
PS: I just love Audiogon flames.

Michael,

I did get one of your gain cables about 3 to 4 months ago I believe, I live in Florida. I had it on loan for a good week and we discussed getting source cords next if I liked it, but I decided to send it back. It just was not better then the cables I already had. It is a good product at a very good price point. But it just was too polite for me.

Jasonmcguire what's the deal with your count them 3 posts on 3 separate threads today shilling or at least looks alot like shilling regarding the newest greatest Electra Glide Epiphany. and now from above I see this
"Gosh Jason,
I don't remember selling you one of my new Carbon
Ribbon Gain cords that have only been in production for
a month now. To my knowledge, there are only 3 people in the USA that have them.But I may be wrong." Michael Wolff
I believe he would have remembered if you were 1 of the 3 U.S. buyers of the said cords.
And you happen to have a customer review of the new epiphany cord on the new Electra Glide website is this all just some big coincidence or a conspiracy of some sort?

Good one Mejames.

In the past 5 months I have purchased two Elrod Statements, an EPS-2S and an EPS-3S, Michael's cable (which was actually on a free trial basis which he will see when he checks his records and which I have the FedEx return slip to prove), two NBS Monitor 0's and a Monitor 1, an Electra Glide Ultra Khan Statement II, four Electra Glide Epiphany's and finally a Purist Audio Design Dominus. All of which, except the Epiphany's, I have resold on Audiogon or returned to the manufacturer (Michael). I still need to sell an Electra Glide Ultra Khan Statement II R, an NBS Monitor 0 and an Elrod EPS-3S that are for sale now.

I've had the Epiphany's for almost two weeks now and they are amazing.

Have you ever tried the current Electra Glide cables, or Michael's cable? If so how do they compare to the Anaconda VX? Which I have never tried and nor do I claim to. You have a nice system but all XLO cables?
