Elrod vs MIT


Hi to all. I have a question about power cords. I am thinking about upgrading to David Elrod's Statement Gold power cords. I know there have been some fantastic reviews of this new line of cables. Since there is no dealer in Holland it is not possible to try out EPS cables. Until now the best power cable I have tried at home is the MIT AC-2. Question: any of you compared these cables and what were your findings? My set consists of Spectral / dcs / Kef 207-2 / MIT oracles.
Thank your for your input!

Well...I promised to get back here and I always keep my promises. The Elrod Statement Gold has been playing here for only 2 weeks now so it isn't really broken in BUT...it is like no other cable I have ever heard. Granted, I do not have much experience with many other power cords, only NBS and the top MIT Oracle AC-2. I LOVED the AC-2 and I still have it in my set but the Elrod is something else!
It is totally organic, you never realise there is a digital haze over your music until it is gone. This is not like sound exploding out of a black background. Well, it is sound exploding but even the back blackground is gone. Unless you qualify total silence as a black background.
I hear things on very familiar cds that I have never heard before. Some pieces of music are almost new and improved versions.
The sound is utterly addictive, my body relaxes even when I am playing really loud, but you don't have to play loud to be totally immersed in the music.
The music is freed like you have a 5.1 set put BETWEEN your stereo speakers.
I am told by the man himself that break lasts up to 1000 hours...wow...I cannot believe it will become better than it is now.
So...that's it...have to go...music is calling my name in the other room...
Had to save up for this cable and there is no way back...already saving for the next one.
If you ever in the upgrade mood, at least try the Elrods and maybe you will even save money because you will realise that your amp etc. has never showed you what it is capable of.
Enjoy people!
Do know how these compare to nordost valhalla? I just purchased
a silenwire ac reference. It does to the music all what you describe
from what I am reading, the valhalla and other top tier cables
all share that organic type of sound you describe. What is the price
range for the gold Statements? Before I end up saving more money
for more I would be interested in what a similar cable could do for
my system. I have tried harmonix reference and top hms, both killed my system. These golds sound interesting. Thanks in advance for the
information.

Audioquest4life,
Sorry, I did not compare them to the Nordost Valhalla. There is only one way to find out if they are worth the money and that is by trying them. Do NOT try them unless you are willing to spend some money ;-)
Pani,
I use one from the main socket to the PS Audio Quintet and then another one from the Quintet to the dCS dac/pre. Still need three of them....
