Elrod EPS-3S versus EPS-3

For folks who have tried both....how big a difference is apparent between the 2 models, and what are those differences?

Thanks!

I've had the opposite experience, and it seems that your experience once you used the "Hot Box" would confirm the problem was elsewhere in your AC. In any case, I just want to add that the 3 version of the Elrod cords can sound a little bloated, if used on relatively low current devices. The 2 versions are the cords designed for these.

I was one of the early users of the original cords. In fact, I even got to try an EPS-1. I kept on upgrading and trying different combinations. Yes, the 3 versions are designed for amps, and that's where I've used them. I tried a 3 on my preamp and my digital components, and found the bass was somewhat bloated or wooly. I hope this helps.
