sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST

The best bet is to have at least 1 foot of clearance behind your racks to allow for the stiffer cables as has already been pointed out. Bend the Elrod cables slowly into the alignment you are looking for and then make sure they are supported at various points along the cable length including coming out of the back of your components using a thin board or whatever gets the job done. They take a bit to settle back in sonically after you bend them but assuming they do not move after that and you have them properly supported, they will warm back up and sound great.

I added a third elrod cable (power to Berkeley DAC). I can confirm which, in my system, it seems that the interaction with the others Elrod's enhances the properties of a better soundstage and presence of instruments on the scene.

I echo Caliaripaolo. I put an EPS-3 in place of the 2 on my amp and there was a noticable improvement in energy, attack and bass.
I then put the EPS-2 on my CD players tube output stage and was blown away by the soundstage improveents.
I'll be getting another 3 Fri. to go between my balanced cond and the wall.
That make two 2's and two 3's in my system. They are definately accumulative.

After many months of listening to various combinations of Elrod cables in combination in my system, the cumulative effect on the system is amazing. These powercords (and in my case interconnects and speaker cables) definitely heighten the performance of every component in my system and allow it to dig MUCH deeper into the music stored in every track of each disk that I play. I've said before that I appreciated the thoughts of others regarding cables as "components" in any audio system but in this case, it completely true. The other very nice benefit with the combination of the latest generations of Elrod cables I have in my my system is that the system now has the best tube-like sonic attributes that I was looking for in an audio system while still being an entirely solid state system. My music listening enjoyment has jumped up considerably and I am extremely impressed and happy with what I hear every time I hit the play button!

I just added a Berkeley USB into the system. I know is another thread, but, wow, it's incredible.
More about Elrod, I am so convinced which I just bought a Statement Gold PC. I am waiting for the shipment.
I intend use it from the AC line to the distributor. Is there anyone of Gold's owners using it in this configuration?
