Shunyata Anaconda Alpha or Elrod Statement?

What is the difference between the Elrod and the Purist powercords?

I hope to find the right powercable for my Nu-Vista 300 poweramp.

My system: Nautilus 800, Meridian 800 DAX v4 ( model 2005 ), Musical Fidelity Nu-vista 300 Power, Valhalla loudspeakercable, 2 Valhalla powercables, Acapella rca, KE Powersource ( conditioner )

I was thinking about the Shunyata Anaconda Alpha, Elrod, Purist or......

Just give me the right advise for the cable what can give me the whole freq. spectrum van the lowest to the highest?

I used the following cables: MIT AC-1 Oracle, I liked this one exept it missed the lower freq. Valhalla, I missed the focus and didn't like the harsh sound in the low freq. Also the mids where not involving anymore. The Electraglides miss the power in the low freq also.

Leonx,

First of all, I am prejudiced. I have been using Purist Audio cables for 20 years and it's absolutely my favorite.

I might be able to loan you a Purist power cable in the near future. I just swapped out four to the new Aqueous Anniversary and (if you can wait for a couple of months) there is a new Purist power cable coming and I will be moving to these. I may have as many as ten AC cables available all at once.

If we communicate and find each other trustworthy, you could borrow one of the earlier versions for audition and determine if it's right for you.

That is a good offer, but I life in the Netherlands. So I have to rebuild the cable twice.

In my system on Tenor 300 watt Hybrids with 20 amp IEC's i preferred the Elrod Statements to the Anaconda Alpha's. The Elrods were a good deal more dynamic and portrayed a better sense of effortlessness. The Elrods seemed to 'flesh-out' images better in my system (which at that time included all Valhalla interconnects).

i would expect your system to have a similar tonal character to mine at that time.

i also recomnmend that, if possible, you listen for yourself.

i would caution that the Statements are quite large and stiff; and won't logistically work well in every system. If you are using any sort of 'floating' isolation the Elrods may neutralize it's effect.
