Elrod Signature or Statement

Statement is better, no doublt about it, but is it worth the money is doubtful. I use it in a Naim CDX 2, the difference is subtle, but used in the preamp, a greater leap in sound quality in terms of clarity, musical pace of rhythm(the long shoot of Elrod among the others) and a bigger sound space.

I have used Elrod Statements on my power amps. Great quality, but a total pain to integrate into the system due to their size and inflexibility. I've recently gone back to a pair of Argent Audio Brujo HC for the amps, with extremely good results (i.e. at least as good, and in some respects better). They're also a lot easier to bend around corners.

I have EPS 2 Signatures on my digital boxes amd preamp. I just put a well broken in TG Audio SLVR onto the preamp, and prefer it to the Elrod. The SLVR sounds livelier and cleaner. The Elrod sounded a bit soft in comparison.

So the moral of my story is that you can get too caught up in following a single path. There are power cords out there that may outdo the vaunted Elrods in any given system. I have another pair of TG SLVRs on the way, and that should make for an interesting comparison, both to the Elrods and the Argents.

I just bought a new power amp using 211 tubes, the power cord comes along with the power amp wins over my Elrod sig and Statement, do you believe it.
