Elrod EPS-3S versus EPS-3
Hi Sherod,I'm using Elrods on all my components, including line conditioners. I was one of the early users of the original cords. In fact, I even got to try an EPS-1. I kept on upgrading and trying different combinations. Yes, the 3 versions are d... 
Elrod EPS-3S versus EPS-3
Sherod - Based on a great deal of experience with the Elrods and other cords, I don't believe the "one note bass" you heard was the "fault" of the EPS-3 Signature. I've had the opposite experience, and it seems that your experience once you used t...

Elrod EPS-3S versus EPS-3
In my opinion the Signatures are clearly better - less colored, more open, more transparent, and cleaner. 
Verity Audio Sarastro - Anybody heard
I'm with Brian. At this price I definitely suggest checking out the Rockports. Very much worth a trip to Rockport, Maine, in my opinion. Incidentally, it would be a great time of year to go too. 
Drums reproduction
I'm personally glad they don't dominate on recordings. And, for that matter, I'm glad that nothing dominates (except if intended). "Live" (the quotes are there because much of what we call "live" is actually amplified) is much more difficult to co... 
Denon 2900 mod. How does it sound?
Tbg: Does one need 200 hours on Redbook, 200 on SACD and so on - or just 200 hours, regardless of format? Thanks. 
Can sibilance be eliminated?
I've found the worst of the sibilance can be decreased or eliminated via careful controlling of room reflections and power conditioning. 
rowland 302 v. krell 400..VTL preamp v. BATVK51SE
Michael - The 302 will improve significantly over the next month, including in the bass department. 
Rowland 302 v. Krell 400CX
Stevecham: Rowland Model 10, Pass Labs X-150 & X-350, Sierra Denali, Symfonia Opus 10, Parasound JC-1s, Gryphon mono amps (sorry, I don't remember the model designation), Mark Levinson 334 & 336. I'd like to also clear something up: I did ... 
Rowland 302 v. Krell 400CX
Stevecham - The 302 is an entirely different design. Believe me, it has plenty of "electrical control" and dynamics. I'm using it with Rockport Antares, in which the impedance does sometimes dip to 4 ohms. The 302 is the best amp I've ever heard -... 
Question to Hydra owners
From my experience, I can only say that an Elrod cord on the original Hydra makes a HUGE difference. Replacing the original fuse does too! 
Denon 2900 With MODS
Man, I would love to hear others' experiences with these mods myself. I'm aware of the Underwood and Exemplar mods (via Enjoy the Music for the Underwood and a posting or two re the Exemplar), but it would be great to get more input. 
Denon 2900 With MODS
So, Lafish, you've had different mods done to the Denon 2900 and compared the sound directly to a stock unit?
