Feedback,please on new Electraglide Mini Khan Plus


I would like to get some feedback from users of the new Electraglide Mini Khan Plus( all silver foils) power cord. What's your impression of this cord compared to early models from Electraglide? What component(s) have you found it to work best with? How long in your opinion did it take for the cord to fully break in? ( I've been told by several people that it takes a looooooong time to break in)However, one user told me that it sounded better than most cords fresh out of the box. Thanks for the input.

I have 2 of these, one on my EMM DCC2 for a few months (using DAC & preamp functions) & another on a Stax 007t tubed headphone amp for 2 months. The Mini Khan Plus works very well on the DCC2: light & airy, but still smooth with good bass weight, but never thick or forward. When I tried it on my EMM-Phillips transport, there was a little too much air, so I went back to my TG Audio SLVR on the transport, which was not as airy but had more substance. I think the TG SLVR complemented the MiniKhan, & the 2 worked well together.
I now have the 2nd one on my Stax 007t amp, where it works very well, with all the air noted above, but also provides a very nimble, articulate bass, but not any deeper bass than other cords; it also removed some tizziness & grain from the 007t/Omega system that I experienced with other cords. Mids are smoother but not fuller. It works really well with the Kubala-Sosna Emotion ICs I use on the Stax (coming from an Accuphase DP75V cdp).
My main impression is one of speed & detail & air & openness & soundstage depth. Musical elements are better positioned. It does not add weight or fullness or thickness.
Excuse me for rambling, but I just wanted to help our with my impressions.
Beyond Rgs92, another A'goner has highly recommended that I consider the MiniKhans for my own emmLabs CDSD/DCC2. (I will keep his identity quiet, but hopefully he may answer in the next few days)...

For more feedback, you could search the virtual systems for Mini Khan users and email them.

Meanwhile, what is the story about the pricing. New ???? $2,500, used $495. I mean does anyone really buy @ 2500 ????
I have tried many excellent P/Cs on The DCC2, which worked exceptionally well on other source equipment, but the Min-Khan opened up the soundstage and added such a significant amount of detail and bloom around instruments and had a palpable effect on the detail and air around woods and strings in particular, with the DCC2. It was clearly the best P/C i have tried with the DCC2 and was as good as the more highly priced Electraglides in my system. It was as noticeable and superior an addition to my system as any other i/c or s/c that I have tried. Whereas the i/c differences were more in hf smoothness and background darkness, the Mini-Khan added a dimension of bloom and 3-dimensionality, particularly to orchestral works.
Tangentially here, I liked the supplied Kimber PK14 on the EMM CDSD, so I picked up a Kimber PK10 Palladium for it,
and it works very well--more detailed, clearer, & deeper bass; fuller, more palpable midrange; smoother, more rounded vocals, and generally more relaxed. Be warned that the large, heavy 8-inch cylinder on the Palladium can make placement difficult (otherwise, the cord is very flexible). (I tied the cylinder to a piece of wire & hung it from the back of my rack; this arrangement works well.)
Rgs92, That is interesting that you preferred the Kimber on the CDSD. Did you try using Mini Khan's on both the CDSD + DCC2 together ?

Did either Rgs92 or Springbok10 ever compare the MiniKhan's to the Harmonix Studio Master X-DC (similar price used), as it has been also highly recommended with the emmLabs. What about comparison of MiniKhan to Anaconda Vx ???
