I have a Synapsis 2 in my system and it is a remarkable cord. It is very open, detailed and has a lot of punch and just has an uncanny ability to make the music sound right. It replaced a Nordost Vishnu (too bright) and a Cardas Golden Reference (Nice but not as dynamic as the Synapsis). I have tried the Epiphany 3 which is sort of entry level for Electaglide and was quite good in it's price range. The Epiphany X is a higher level than the Epiphany 3, but I have never heard it. I can't imagine it being much better than the Synapsis. Hope this helps.
