Electraglide Epiphany -X VS Shunyata


Hello Friends,
has anyone compared the Electraglide to the Shunyata without getting to technical and in plain english WHICH ONE IS BETTER!!!!!!! WOULD BE USING ON POWER AMP. I listen to jazz, light pop. Thanks for your help again!!!!!!

Tvad: if you order EG with Schucko plugs the cord is grounded. With Nagra gear I found PAD better than EG.
Nagra gear sounds thin with EG and very nice with Nagra gear. On the opposite: Audio Aero, Ayre, Aesthetix, Reimyo and Wadia sound much nicer with EG (more liquid, detailed and transparent + better soundstaging). So as always its a matter of system synergy. I bet with the top-of-the line cords from EG, PAD, Shunyata, Acoustic Zen, Omega Micro and a few others you canĀ“t go wrong. Another nice cable from Germany is HMS.

Concerning the issue of Aesthetix and power cables, I heard the EG directly to the Kubala-Sosna Emotion with the Aesthetix Callisto Signature and both were mighty nice. The EG brought a bit more detail but I suspect this could be fatiguing after awhile. I found the K-S to have a more smooth and natural balance and thus bring less attention to itself. The latter issue and K-S's ultimate black background makes this more of a transparent cable in my book. But these two were more similar than different. It would come down to a personal preference....not synergy. Saying that one cable here is "better" than the other is not realistic. We focus too much on the issue of "better" rather than to try and identify differences.

A few months later when I was able to directly compare the K-S Emotion PC with the Dominus PC, the Dominus fleshed out more of the midrange textures and dimensionality ..... smooth, smooth smooth. And this to me is liquid.

The Dominus simply goes far deeper in the bottom octave than the others whether I tried it with the Manley DAC, the Aesthetix pieces or the CAT JL-3 amps. For me anyway, the Dominus allows more of the Callisto's and Io's unique strengths to come through than the other cables. But there was no denying the K-S's see-through quality with any component I tried it with compared to the Dominus. And this is one thing that impresses me greatly about the Emotion and the Dominus: the strengths that they bring to the table are consistent at any link in the system chain.

I don't think of this as an issue of synergy but rather to simply choose the product that most greatly brings forward the sonic attributes that are most important to each of us. For some it might be the ultimate in top-end extension and resolution, for others it may be all about decays and harmonic textures, or low-end extension and dynnaics. And keep in mind, we are "tuning" a system, not simply a preamp or a power amp or source component. Everything in the system, including the room, affects everything else.

Try the new Purist Audio Aqueous powercable. I did a lot of investment in cables. Tried many in my system. But this one knocked me down. For poweramps the best I've effer heard. When you are looking for the highest resolution for a pre-amp, source or conditioner try a Nordost Valhalla. Because I will let you hear things no other cable can do.
