PC: KS Elation, Elrod or Stealth?

Caveat: I have not heard the Stealth or the KS.

I have been using EPS Signature cords for years. The new generation of cords is a HUGE improvement over them. As Pentatonia said, I honestly could not believe my ears. Just incredible.

One man's experience...and good luck.

Very respectfully, Mert, we can all make our arguments. The "proof" (or at least the "proof" for me) is in the listening. I'd be shocked if you heard one of the new generation Elrod cords and it didn't change your thinking. Without listening, though, how do you know that the new Elrod(s) don't do anything (except pure elect. trans.)?

Mert,

This is what I said several posts ago:

Isn't the point to be enthralled and love the music so much that you want to keep on listening? And isn't an effect on that a good thing ?!

I'm not sure why you didn't respond to those questions, but it doesn't really matter, I suppose. I am enjoying my system immensely, and you are welcome to now think that there is something wrong with my ears. : )

Hi Puremusic,

I, too, have upgraded all components other than power cords - over a period of many years and many upgrades. My guess is you may already know this, but when I said something like "I might even say it is the single biggest improvement I've ever made to my system" - referring to the Statement Gold - I wasn't saying it is the best or most important "component" in my system. I was simply saying that it's insertion in place of what I previously owned might have been the biggest improvement I have heard.

In any case, I hope other people have a chance to hear what these amazing cords can do. I don't believe any amount of discussion will ever substitute for listening.

Mert and Argyro,

I respect and appreciate your thoughts, your experience, and your perspectives. And I cannot add much to Puremusic's statements, except to say - once again - that the proof is in the listening, for me. If you ever have a chance to listen with an Elrod Statement Gold in your system (or maybe with his other latest generation cords...I have no experience with them), you may be as blown away as I was. I too have made all sorts of changes to improve the quality of the power to my system over 40 years of being an audiophile. I also have used the Elrod Signature cords and many others over the years. NOTHING, however, prepared me for the diffence I heard when I inserted the Statement Gold into my system. In fact, I might even say it is the single biggest improvement I've ever made to my system.

Just my perspective and experience, of course. I do not want to be disrespecttul at all ! Having said that, though, I cannot help but laugh when you say that something is wrong with my system. Isn't the point to be enthralled and love the music so much that you want to keep on listening? And isn't an effect on that a good thing ?!

Notwithstanding the fact that I don't see where I said they "provide clean power", Argyro, if my system sounds this much better (and far more like real music...and I find myself looking forward to listening like never before), I *couldn't care less about why* (and don't really know why).

I respectfully, and honestly, hope that you will excuse me if this is my last response to you. I have been simply sharing what I hear, and I don't see the point any more.

Argyro: I am not upset at all : ) (I'm not sure why you thought I was) My only point was that the Statement Gold has made my experience of listening to music far more enjoyable - by leaps and bounds. It's not an opinion. It's the way my system makes me feel.

I agree, Puremusic.
