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

On my Pass X-250 amp, I've tried many cords- PS Audio LAB II, Top Gun, Wolff Gain, Kimber Palladian, and numerous others.

Admittedly, I haven't tried the Elrod. But I would suggest auditioning a VH Audio Flavor 4 Cryoed Gold.

I'm currently using one to great satisfaction. Relatively inexpensive, well built, and it outperformed the Kimber Palladian so highly touted in T.A.S. (at least in my system- where it counts).

VH Audio offers a very liberal return policy if you're not satisfied.

Is it an Elrod killer? Hell if I know. Is it excellent? Oh Yeah.
