  Mating power cords with APL 3910
While waiting for my (Denon) APL 3910 to arrive, I need some help in coming up with a short list of power cords to audition with it. In addition to listing the PCs you liked best with this unit, it would be most helpful if you could provide some specificity. In particular, what sonic and musical virtues are the offspring when the particular PC is mated with the APL 3910? Sonically speaking, which PCs didn't do as well with it? Are there any PCs that mate well (or don't mate well) with digital sources in general?

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.
