Preamp PC - Elrod Sig II or SR Tesla T2 or ??


I need to improve upon my pc situation at the preamp.

I've heard many good things on the SR T2 tesla line pc.... and have an Elrod Sig III supplying a RSA Haley which in turn feeds the mono blocks, and would also likely feed the Thor line stage preamp.

Any thoughts on these two or another pc for my preamp would be appreciated a lot.

Thanks much

Thanks John

You and a couple others here are usually possessive of my ear... I mentioned the SR as it's simply getting so much attention recently. however only the Acoustic Ref were even close to my tastes and were found just missing the mark of where I wanted to be with ICs, THEN.

I ordered a Tesla T2 today from the Cable Co. just to see. The input I got there on the Elrod also correlates with my suspiscions as to the results of having a Sig II on the Thor.

Consequently, I'll give the T2 a go and make a decision thereafter.

My reticence there with the Elrod Sig II was to it's bigger bro's expansive sound stage depiction... or that of the present state of affairs with my rig.

I mostly just lack depth. I've sure plenty of res & details having added another Taipan helix so both monos use them. The bandwidth itself seems very close to neutral while displaying some very good timberal colors within the notes. instruments are pretty easy to pick out to as to their origins... and definitely their placements.

in all things are just about right where I want them without making or undergoing wholesale electronic changes.

... and I beleieve I'll be migrating the power train into the closer proximity to the speakers and make a change in speaker wires thereafter. hopefully improving upon the neutrality of the sR sig 10 x2's now there.

I'll bare those other ones in mind too... especially the Enchanter... I've spoken with them before, just not gotten around to trying it yet.

many thanks.. as always.
Blindjim, I hate to say this but...,
The SR cables are great, but they should be used as a cable system.
Each cable complements the other cables for a balanced sound.
Just using one T2 with a Preamp may not be that impressive.

You then really need a SR power cable for your Amp and Source.
After that, interconnects and speaker cables Powercell.
I've had both these cords. I agree w/Ozzy on the SRs - instead I would try to find a used Elrod Statement for your system. You will be amazed at how much it will elevate your sonics. I haven't heard David E's new cords, but from looking at his website they appear a lot more pricey than his previous line.

Thanks for that insight Oz, I appreciate it. I was worried that might possibly be the case... some are just that way.

Thanks for stepping up to confirm things..
I agree with Ozzy, adding one SR cord may not work for you. If you want better soundstaging. You may want to start with a Powercell and teslaplex outlet. OR Try their Accelerator speaker cables. That would have been a good combination for you if you kept the Acoustic Reference interconnects. The cable company can lend you a whole compliment....
