Elrod vs. Virtual Dynamics: Thoughts???

Rja,

I had the $550 VD david and $1600 Elrod signature 3 from the cable company on loan. The two where very comparable, except the elrod sounding a bit brighter for my taste. At one third the cost as Mr elrods I knew Rick had something special with his power cords.

I only heard the early Nite II VD and owned the ELrod Sig 3 for a long time. Never found the Elrod "bright", never. The Nite II was thin sounding but very clear sounding. I preferred the Elrod Sig 3 to many power cords on my Pass Labs X-250 power amp and my buddys Graaf 5050 tube amp. The Elrod had a very seductive mid-range character, sweet highs and very good bass.

Hope this helps.

I wasn't impressed with the Nite II and found it similar sounding to what BigKidz described - Harmonically threadbare but high on clarity. I haven't heard the Elrod cable but there have been many positive comments and reviews.
