Elrod vs. Virtual Dynamics: Thoughts???

I never found the Elrod Signatures to be bright either.

I still own a Statement that David customized for me (male plug has been centered to better fit between my amp - at the time - and my Hydra 8). When I upgraded my amp to a true dual mono I needed to acquire an additional PC. There was simply no way that I could wrestle two Statements into my system; tried VD Masters which are much easier to work with (you should check out the applicable, ongoing thread here on Agon) and, with no sonic loss, replaced the Elrod. I'm not that familiar with the EPS Sig series, but the Statement is outstanding. An excellent choice if one has the room to accommodate its bulk. OTOH, the Masters are as smooth, create as large a soundstage and, as they continue to break in, provide a magnificent synergy with the rest of my cabling/electronics/speakers.

Both products are well worth the $, IMO.

I own 2 Elrod Statements and have them on my amp and power conditioner - haven't found anything better. VD Revelation is on my preamp and VD Genesis will be on my source (with a little luck). Haven't found anything better than VD for front end, nor better than Elrod for back end in my system - they provide the music I was searching for. As you can see, its not necessarily an either/or - I feel I have the best products of each company utilized in the areas in which each excels, at least to my ears. It also doesn't hurt that David and Rick are both very helpful and fully support their products. Yes, these products are a challenge to get into place, but once there, the music is undeniable - well worth the effort.

I have owned Elrod Statements in the past , very fine power cords, some of the best. They work well on amps & front end . But in my system the VD Revelation & Genesis power cords will take your sysem to levels well beyond any I have used PERIOD. I higly recommend using all of VD cables throught ones system. They have made a supstantial improvement in my system. For those who are willing to put the effort in installation, the rewards wil be worth it.
Really ! I have some tight quarters & had very little problems. Thank God for zip ties & eye hooks.

It was not the the Elrod was a bright cable, but compared to VD david it did offer more in the high frequencies.

The Elrod in comparison to all the other loaned cables from the cable company would not be classified as bright. Just maybe a testament of how good the Virtual pcs are.
