I second the Elrod. I have two feeding my system. One from the wall to my balanced conditioner on my source, the second from my second balanced conditioner to my amp.
They seem to be very neutral. Mine are EPS-2 Signature's.
You can get them used for around $500 or less.
There is a 4ft pair on here now.

I noticed that especially the BADA is subject to the modifications induced in the power cord. With the assumption that the final result also depends by the system as a whole, but what kind of change can be described with the addition of Elrod? or MIT cables?

I have the latest generation Elrod Silver Statement speaker cables and power cords. I don't find them to be dark at all. If they sound dark in the system look elsewhere as they are tonally the most neutral and transparent products (in their categories) that I have tried.

Thanks Linkster,
I acquired the ones which Zmanastronomy suggested me here on Audiogon. I Will test it and then I Will write here my notes.
one more question, the Elrod PC,s are specialized with regards to the components ? ( like Stealth for example: for amplifiers, for pre ....etc)

I spoke with David about the EPS-2 Sig on my amp. It's touted as a source PC, but he said it would work great on my Tube amp. And it does. In the same line of Signature series, the EPS-3 is for amps. So far the EPS-2 is doing fine.
