Mating power cords with APL 3910

John-
Mine is also an Epiphany, not X.
I am still happy with the Statements. Been talking with a West Coast dealer who suggested trying an Epiphany X between wall and conditioner. IF I ever become disenchanted with the Statements, I may try that. My concern is that by doing so, the system may become too "bright" - having 2 Epiphanys in the same chain. My speakers are pretty efficient (95 db)and for now, this balance of Statements from wall to conditioner to amp, with Epiphanys on the tuner and Denon 3910 sounds "just right". I really like the weight and musicality provided by the Statements in combination with the extended highs, slightly higher resolution and broader, more open soundstage of the Epiphanys on the front end, at least in my system.
Hope this helps.

Tvad and Fplanner2000,

Thanks for your responses.

Fplanner2000,

Other audiophiles have claimed that the Statement makes a huge difference from wall to conditioner, especially in a large room (which I have). So, its on my priority list. If you should have an opportunity to audition the Epiphany X, I would appreciate your observations. I am very curious to know how it differs from the Epiphany.

Enjoy the Music,
John

i replaced the epiphany feeding my hydra 8 with the 'x' version and the latter was bigger, more open and showed greater frequency extension. that said, it's also rather expensive. i recently had the opportunity to compare with a 20amp wolff gain and the latter was less detailed but fuller sounding. the difference wasn't great and the choice would rather depend on which direction your system needs to be nudged in

Colesey,

Thanks for sharing your observations about the 'X' and the Wolff gain.

Good Listening,
John
