Go with the Elrods if you can. There are also many reviews on the Stereo Times and Soundstage internet sites on AP cables. One reviewer found the AP Power Ovals to emphasize the upper and lower frequency extremes and that is what I heard in my system. There are plenty of good cables in the $350-$500 range like JPS, TG Audio Silver (B. Crump), Audience, Harmonic Technology, Acoustic Zen, etc. You need to read the reviews, select a few and audition some to get a feel for what each company's cord will sound like in your system. There are dealers like used cable that let you borrow a bunch and return the ones you do not like.
Next Up-grade, Power Cables?
Hello out there:
The system is really starting to come together! Recent up-grades have made dramatic improvements and now I am thinking about the final (I know, I know, there is no "final" to this addiction) touches.
After reviewing the threads here on A-Gon, I am considering either Analysis Plus Power Ovals or Virtual Dynamics III Cryo.
Has anyone here A-B'd them or have other suggestions?
The system so far: Mark Levinson #37 transport, Chord DAC64, Rega P-25 w/Dynavector 17D Karat, Herron Phono Stage, Mark Levinson 380S Pre, Edge M-8 Amp, Khorus X speakers, and Analysis Plus interconnects and speaker cable.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions, advice.
