Purist Audio, Elrod or Shunyata power cord?


Hi all,

Need some advice on the power cord for my amp.
I tried many other cables out there, and burned lots of cash still could not bring the desire performance.

I have tried many out... now am consider changing the power cord from the amp and the speaker cable.
I have Purist Audio, Elrod, and Shunyata on my list...
But envy you guys, I do not have a way to audition all of the cables from the list.
I also don't have the budget for a 3000+ cable, and will like to start work my way up to bring the desire performance.

My components are as follow:

Meridian G08 cd player
interconnect from cd to pre:Tara Lab The One+FGS interconnect.
power for cdp: MIT Oracle AC1

Edge Sign. One preamp.
interconnect from pre to power: MIT Oracle 350
power for pre amp: Hand made brand Shark silver.

Edge G8 amp.
power for amp: Liner Acustic OCC copper.

Speaker: Ascendo system E
Speaker Cable: Analysis Plus Solo Crystal.

What are your opinions if what I am trying to get out of is the vivid "body" that's got details, big sound stage, deep base but not too lean or warm at mid. to bring the as-real-as-live kind of sound?

any suggesstion is appreciated.

regards

Hi. I have the Purist Dominus ,Elrod NON sig and Purist VENUSTAS cords currently in my system. I am the one Bigkidz is talking about. I have more power cords in my system than some people have had drinks. I have 4 Elrod EPS 3non sigs in my system know.

I played around a couple of weeks ago with the amp cords and put the Dominus,VENUSTAS against the Elros NON sig EPS-3, and like I told Bigkidz, as much as I hated to say it, and I tested them in MY SYSTEM only, the non sig EPS-3 more than held its own against the Dominus. I love Purist cables as you can see by my system, but was very surprised that the Dominus really didn't take the prize. At more than twice the price new.

I had a chance to get a couple more Dominus at very good prices and decided to go a different route because of the test. I have also had the Elrod Sig 3 in my system, and it is a VERY good cord, although I would have like to compared it to the non sig just to see the difference. But then again, I have to take into consideration would it have been worth more than double the price???

I am currently going with the Electra Glide Ultra Khan Statement ll revised/revelation cords and will compare them the the others I have now. There are so many cords out there it makes it hard, and there are also just as many if not more opinions as to what does or does not sound good. You are the only one that will know if something sounds good in your system.

If your budget is only around 400.00 or so the Elrod EPS 3 NON sig will hold its own, I found that out. Maybe when the other cords come I could send you one of mine to try?? But, I do NOT want to sell them, but would be more than happy to let you borrow one of them. There's a couple of us that do that, that's how we're able to hear different cords. Besides, that's what this is all about.
