sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST
BTW...the other cable options on this thread are great in their own right and I've heard or owned various top-level models from the other manufacturers as well as others (Tara, AQ, Transparent, Synergistic, etc...). For me, the total package I am ... 
sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST
I have been through many mid-high end cable transitions over the years and had read and talked to several people who had extremely good things to say about Elrod PCs. My cable transitions going back several years have been a series of very good ex... 
sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST
The Statement Gold PCs dig into all aspects of the music; they also inject a life and energy that took me by complete surprise. Pacing, imaging, tonality and other aspects took a large leap forward with Elrod's various offerings in my system... 
sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST
I cannot comment on specifics of the EPS2 versus current Statement series as I never owned the EPS2 cables. You may want to do a search on EPS and Statement on the discussion forums and on Virtual Systems and contact people who have owned one or b... 
sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST
I have not heard the other two offerings you mention however I can tell you out of all the other pcs, interconnects and speaker cable brands I've owned up and down the scale over the years, that I am EXTREMELY happy and blown away by what the Elro... 
Legacy SE versus Vandersteen Quatros
You definitely have that right! Huge soundstage in all 3 dimensions with complimentary equipment, cables and room too! 
Legacy SE versus Vandersteen Quatros
The imaging on the 20/20s was good however they did not totally disapper nor was the imaging super precise in any way. The new drivers, crossover and cabinet designs of the HD and more so, the SEs have taken the Focus imaging to where it needs to ... 
The Hub: Axpona comes to Atlanta!
Will people be writing their impressions of the rooms and sound from the show on this thread or will there be separate coverage (photos and print)? 
EMM-Labs XDS1 vs Esoteric K-01
Mike: Do you have any ability to demo the K-01 against your MPS-5? I'd be interested in hearing more from you given all the time you've spent with EMM Labs equipment, the MPS-5.BTW...Winston Ma's UCD version of the Steinway Take 2 disc that was re... 
Legacy speakers and Coda CSIb ?
Coda is used to voice Legacy speakers from what I've been told so the match would be a very good one. For that speaker budget, you can look at Legacy Focus HDs or if you can manage to eek out a bit more I'd highly recommend the Focus SEs as I've o... 
exactpower ep 15A
I know its a bit off topic with respect to this thread being EP focused however I loved the EP15A when I had it in the system. I've recently been using a PurePower APS 2000 and have not heard the likes of it from any manufacturer of active or pass... 
Best preamp for my system.
Would love to hear it some day soon if I can make it north of the border! I'll take a look at the Bybee speaker bullets as well. BTW...Esoteric C-03 pre-amp is a beautiful unit! If you get a chance to hear one, you should do so! 
Classe ssp 600 vs 800 ?
I know from owning it the balanced bypass for 2-ch on the SSP-600 is very good. I've heard the SSP-800 is much better in every way. What I found particularly effective was to utilize an SSP-600 for surround decoding and to handle the center, LS/RS... 
Best preamp for my system.
Let us know how it turns out...it's always great to hear about your latest audio adventures! 
Best preamp for my system.
I'm about 460 hours into break-in on an Esoteric C-03 preamp. This unit is truly something special. I now know first hand why it won 2 Blue Moon awards from 2 different reviewers on 6moons!
