| sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST After many months of listening to various combinations of Elrod cables in combination in my system, the cumulative effect on the system is amazing.

| sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST The best bet is to have at least 1 foot of clearance behind your racks to allow for the stiffer cables as has already been pointed out. Bend the Elrod cables slowly into the alignment you are looking for and then make sure they are supported at va... | |
| Elrod Statement Gold Owners Please In my system, the Elrod Statement Gold PCs are also tantamount to a full component upgrade. Putting in the first brought everything Shane is talking about and more in terms of realism, energy and imaging. The overall effect would take alot more th... | |
