Hello Terry,
Call Spectron - Simon has a long list of tweaks for Spectron. Ask him nicely ;--)

It took me a while to find the best power cords for my Spectrons but no question - Elrod produces the best in the world. For me the most striking feature I have heard - removal of the veil between me and musicians. I owned many fine power cords from NBS, PUD and others but only Elrod provided this magic - musicians suddenly moved to my room and if I would close my eyes and its small ensemble (I like to listen in the dark)- I would swear that they are here with me. Plus, Mike Garner from TweekGeek demoed Elrod prototype speaker cables for Spectron at RMAF 2008 and my understanding is that all were sold there and one was snatched by a reviewer "on the spot"

Hello,

I have received e-mail from Simon that they with David Elrod made a speaker cable specially designed for Spectron (or other powerful tube or solid state amps). Did anyone have tried these cables? They look gorgeous but first hand experience would help a lot.

Hello Boston,

"Asked Simon about the Neutrik connectors that the Spectron amp is built to accept and he explained to me that this was for the Remote Sense cables only and that the Remote Sense cable was good up to a point and was surpassed by very high end speaker cables."

I also spoke with Simon about it and he confirmed it. Moreover - they will install FREE OF CHARGE ($0.0) Remote Sense circuitry and Speakon termination to anyone who wants it. He added that they will charge, however, for removal because it involves and labor and new ulta expensive WBT Silver NextGen spades or bananas.

They feel that Remote Sense does not add much to their cable (and may be subtract some texture and 3D stuff) but if customer is Spectron amp owner AND wants to have it - let him have it and eat it too

Hello,

Just received this speaker cable - "Elrod Silver Signature". Right out the box, cold - extraordinarely bass...I thought my B&W 802N with pair of Spectron monoblocks are "kings" in that area - with this cable its someting unbelievable, I never knew what is good (magnificent!) bass before

I don't want to write any more - I am going back to listen

Hello Oscar,

Elrod cables can be used in one stereo amp as a pair or in two monoblock amplifiers as a quartet - all the same, four separate cables - no changes. Each positive and each neative cable has not only its separate tubing but also its own separate vibration control and shielding. You can have regular termination (this is that I have, WBT NextGen silver) or (with Spectron Audio permission) Speakon termination - your choice. You must be aware that with Speakon - stereo and mono terminations are different so if you bought stereo pair and want to use them later on for monoblocks - you will need re-terminate it (by Elrod, Specron etc)

Hello Azwill - what is the web site of Greg Straley.
Are his cables any good? For example, if he made power cords are they comprable to older Elrod power cords? (I am saying older because Elrod is introducing nex generation of power cables, IC and speaker cables)

Thank you
Rafael

Thank you Azwill, I actually auditioned Reality Cables and simply did not know the name of the manufacturer. For the speaker cable of a few hundred dollar cost - they may be one of the best, I would fully agree with you.

However, Elrod cables - its not even another class , its another dimension. Sorry. Even people who used to Elrod sonic signature in his power cords are for surprise - and even for power cords - he produces next generation of them. Much more 3D, much more "there" factor, much more details - like reflections from walls etc making sound much more REAL..............

Thank you again

All The Best
