Spectron MIII MKII after market tweeks ?


Pls share your tweeks on your Spectron MIII MKII power amps.
I know the power cord and isolation devices makes a difference. At the moment I am powering up 3 pcs MIII MKII with PAD Dominus Ferox and installed Finite Elemente Cerapucs.
Each amp is feed on it's dedicated 20 amp 120 vac line.
The results are easily felt especially with more clarity of the bass notes.
I am considering adding the Remote Sense Cables, however, I operate 2 amps in mono and I am not sure if the Remote Sense applies in mono mode and what benefit versus the price of the Elrod cables.

Thank you.

I've been using the latest Spectrons as monoblocks for a few months, and have been very happy with the sound as compared to my previous Rowland 201 monoblocks. About a week ago I upgraded to Elrod power cords. I'm using the Elrod Statement going to my power conditioner, and two Elrod Signatures going to the amps. Right out of the box, the Elrods sounded good. Since then I've noted gains in three-dimensionality and clarity- a more "fleshed-out" and realistic presentation. Although its only a week, I'm convinced that the Elrods help bring out the goodness of the Spectrons. Of course the Elrods are true components rather than tweaks- hence the name Elrod Power Systems.
Hello Simontju,
That's interesting about the Elrods. I'm tempted to try the same, but I had a heck of a time setting up those cords. They are beasts!

It seems the Elrods contribute an added degree of naturalness to the many virtues of the Spectrons.

I was told by David that the cords would take several months to fully break in (!), so it would seem that my observations are preliminary at this point.
A few weeks ago, I switched over from an inexpensive but excellent biwire speaker cable to the latest generation of Elrod speaker cables (biwire, shotgun), to use with the latest Spectron monoblocks. The Elrod cables have added warmth and richness, without sacrificing the Spectron's ability to provide quickness and detail. A very nice combination.
