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

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.

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....

That's special. Thanks.

I bet they would too... and it'd be like walking into the 'big' room at a dealership... and for me that's always a mistake. Finding out what I'm missing, that is.

The Accels were too 'too' for me. My Res Ref x2 ICs didn't like them much, and the Acoustic Refs liked my RR's more but not enough... and then there were them darn taxes the county applies... and enjoy's doing it so much that mine were raised severely this time. So, so much for them, but they got a good home in the end.

The article I read the other day said an all SR Tesla series wired rig was a whole other world, once done.

A whole other world means a ticket I simply can't afford... and then there's all that packing, buying new clothes, cameras, hats, etc., so it's best most often I just remain ignorant of 'what could be'.

it's less painful that way for me.
