Shunyata versus Elrod

I have tried Shunyata Anaconda on my CD. I could not try any cables on my Audio Research VTM200 monoblocks because of the 20 amp IECs they have. I also want to test Elrod PCs. Anaconda made my system very transparent, huge soundstage. However, it somehow made the sound very lean. Now I can here all the details. But, it sounds like the body is gone. The piano sounds so lean (but it is just me... A very detailed sound I am not used to) but I hear every finger movement. Then I tried a Kimber Palladian on my CD. Palladian added body to the sound and subtracted the details. The soundstage was also compressed. Black Mamba was in between the two but the details was lacking. I need the details I get with Anaconda and a little bit of the body I get with Palladian. Question 1: (EPS combination) Would EPS 3 Sig on my CD and EPS 2 Sigs on my monoblocks help me to get the sound I want? Question 2: (Shunyata combination) Would Shunyata Taipan's on my monoblocks help the body of the sound I lossed with Anaconda on my CD? I will put down my system so that you can help me better. My System: Audio Aero Capitole 32 bit/192 kHz Audio Research VTM200s Sonus Faber Amati Kimber Select 3038 Speaker cables and 1130 Interconnects. (AA connected directly to my amps)

Suat,

I have a lot of experience with Elrod 3 sig, Kimber Palladian PK10, Annaconda VX, and other assorted AC cords.

I would highly advise you to try Silent Source AC cords. They are distributed by Walker Audio (walkeraudio.com). Look at the dealer page and give Tom Quayle in Ohio a call.

Anyway, these cords are the best I have ever heard in many, Many, MANY ways. The only cords I can compare these to are the Omega Mikros (which are great cords), and the Silent Source cords are right there with the Omega Mikro cords. Personally, I have sold all of my Elrod, Palladian PK10, Virtual Dynamic Nite, BMI Shark, and even my Omega Mikro LCA active cords to go with an all Silent Source AC cords system.

Lemme put it like this... I have yet to really figure out what sonic signature that the Silent Source cords put on music. All other cords I have had, have some sort of sonic signature.
