Listening on headphones tonight. Elle King has some dark lyrics but some great vocals. I'm guessing she's had a rough go of it. I can relate.

Cheers,

Listening to a beautiful song by Gearld Albright.
Gearld Albright / New Beginnings (2006) -- Georgia on my Mind.



My ears have been opened once again. Thanks to TCOBE and the ramblings on the after market power cord thread, I decided to hook up my Emotiva xpa -1 monoblocks with AC Reference 3 powercords and have a listen.

Emotiva xpa -1 monoblocks > Anti-Cable Reference 3 powercords
Primaluna Premium Preamp > Decware DHC -1 silver power cord
Triton 2's > Shunyata Venom 3 power cords
Oppo 105 > Anti-Cable Reference 3 powercord
Anti-Cable Level 6.2 Absolute Signature Interconnect
Decware DSG interconnect
Military silver/copper speaker wire
System cost > $10,650

I've owned the Emotiva xpa -1'S for 4-5 years and have been alternating back and forth with Emotiva and Venom 3 power cords but have never been completely happy. That all changed today with the introduction of the AC power cords. Absolutely beautiful pure sound with a totally black background, even at higher than normal listening levels. Guys I'm sold on the Anti-Cable Reference 3 powercords. It seems that everything they touch turns to ear candy. At this point in the game I would not even consider listening to any other power cord, that's how highly I think of these cords.

Sounds like a testimonial for power cords and Emotiva if I'm interpreting correctly...;)

Thanks for the report on yet another setup, Anthem! It must be nice to have all those great toys to play with.

Cheers,
