Well...I promised to get back here and I always keep my promises. The Elrod Statement Gold has been playing here for only 2 weeks now so it isn't really broken in BUT...it is like no other cable I have ever heard. Granted, I do not have much experience with many other power cords, only NBS and the top MIT Oracle AC-2. I LOVED the AC-2 and I still have it in my set but the Elrod is something else!
It is totally organic, you never realise there is a digital haze over your music until it is gone. This is not like sound exploding out of a black background. Well, it is sound exploding but even the back blackground is gone. Unless you qualify total silence as a black background.
I hear things on very familiar cds that I have never heard before. Some pieces of music are almost new and improved versions.
The sound is utterly addictive, my body relaxes even when I am playing really loud, but you don't have to play loud to be totally immersed in the music.
The music is freed like you have a 5.1 set put BETWEEN your stereo speakers.
I am told by the man himself that break lasts up to 1000 hours...wow...I cannot believe it will become better than it is now.
So...that's it...have to go...music is calling my name in the other room...
Had to save up for this cable and there is no way back...already saving for the next one.
If you ever in the upgrade mood, at least try the Elrods and maybe you will even save money because you will realise that your amp etc. has never showed you what it is capable of.
Enjoy people!
