Electraglide Ultra Kahn / Shunyata Anaconda vx

Could some of you guys in the know please give us your educated opinions on the following??? -

-- Compare the sonic signatures of the Mini-Khan, Mini-Khan Plus and Ultra-Khan Statement II/Rev

-- Where do you think each model is at its best in a system (ie, on an amp, PLC, CD player, tube preamp, etc)?

I ask because I have 2 M-K Pluses and 1 M-K, (along with a plethura of Shunyatas and a pair of Elrod Sig's) and would like to know the best place to devote each cable.

BTW - I just bought a new BPT 3.5 Signature PLC. Chris has just changed the ENTIRE chassis to anodized black, thick ALUMINUM (instead of the thinner brushed-silver stainless steel). It has FAR better EMI/RFI and resonance control, and looks fantastic - a much more substantial and classy design.

It still comes standard with the 'extra' faceplate in your choice of silver or black, and is still a luggable 80 pounds. I intend to use one of my Elrod Sigs on it when I finally get all my gear placed in its final rack locations.

Jason to clarify I said "compared against the Python" not the Anaconda. another question now it's 4 posts on Audiogon and at least 2 posts on Audio asylum regarding the new Epiphany PC and a customer review on the Electra Glide website you have some vested financial interest in this company or what? sure looks fishy to me being it all occurred within the last 48 hours.

Bhouser,

I find the Electra Glide cables best on the source components / front end gear. Are your Elrod Signatures 2's or 3's? If they are 3's use them on the amp and if you have a 20 amp iec, on the BP3.5 as Chris recommends. I have the same BP3.5 Signture, just got it from Chris a week and a half ago. Amazing product that keeps getting better every day.

Mejames, I like the no comment on the Michael Wolff stink you raised. Now it is this one all over again. Get over it.

By the way Mejames, as Michael Wolff knows, I live in Coral Gables (Miami), FL and have been cooped-up in a storm shuttered house since Thursday afternoon. Does that qualify for 48 hours? Actually I've been at this for more like 72 to be precise, and I'm going stir-crazy.

Luckily we did not get hit too hard and the wind/rain is letting up. I have even begun to de-shutter the house on a few windows opposite the wind/rain. My carport cover was trashed and I took photos for insurance, but that's the extent of the damage.

Now they are talking about Hurricane Ivan.

Bhouser-

I personally have not owned the Mini Khan, or the Ultra Khan Statement II Rev. I would suggest going to Electraglide's website and emailing Scott for sonic differences.

The literature that comes with the cable states to start with the preamp (best cable there) I believe.

In my personal experience, I found my system to sound its best with the best powercords I own (Ultra Khan II Statements) in this order:

1 - UK II Statement on the BPT BP-3.5 Sig balanced line conditioner

2 - UK II Statement on my Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP cd player

3 - UK Mini Khan Plus on First Sound Preamp

4&5 - UK Mini Khan Plus' on my monoblock amps

Hope this is of some help. I would try the second best power cord on both your cd player and preamp. Your results may vary.
