Shunyata Anaconda Alpha or Elrod Statement?


I am looking for the right powercable for my MF Nu-Vista 300 poweramp? I tried many: MIT AC-1 Oracle, Valhalla, Electraglide, Cardas Golden Ref. But they all have problems in different freq. So I look for a powercable that handles the freq from the lowest to the highest?

My system: Nautilus 800's, Meridian 800 Dax v4 ( version 2005 ), Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 300 power, Valhalla loudspeakercable, 2 Valhalla powercables, Acapella rca, KE Powersource ( conditioner )

I'm a long time Elrod user, I have their Standart, Signature and Statement series pc's and i'm quite happy with them. I've found them to be better than Shunyata cables when I compared them about 4-5 yrs ago.

While I'm quite satisfied with their performance I HATE their weight and size. They are simply the worst cables when it comes to ergonomics and ease of use. They are a big pain to plug to the equipment and power outlets. And if you happen to use them for equipment placed in a rack then you're in big trouble. You simply need to fasten those cables somewhere otherwise it will break your equipment inlets or raise the front of them.

Just for these, I'm looking for some other more flexible, lighter cables with equal sound quality. I'll try those new Shunyata Helix cables and some Stealth Dream cables. I'm also open to new suggestions but I'm affraid not many cables will beat Elrods in sound quality.
