Elrod statement vs Shunyata anaconda zitrons

I have a pair of Elrod Statement Gold and a pair of Shunyata Anaconda Zitron. I use the Elrod for the amps and the Shunyata for the subs. The Elrod are more full and rich sounding, with plenty of detail and resolution. The Shunyata has a more bare-bones audiophile sound, but with excellent tight bass. Overall I feel the Elrod has a more realistic and pleasing character than the Shunyata.

In 2006 I almost bought Elrod powercables. To be honest I bought a pair here on Audiogon.

Then I received an email from a person who owned the Elrod and said to me; You better buy the Purist, I sold all my Elrod's. I canceld the Elrod's.

The reason why I choose the Purist. Was because I had in my head want I want and need. He discribed the differences between the Purist and Elrod. He was fully right.

And these days I sell Purist Audio. And O mannnn I love their power cables.

When a client of mine will buy a Limited, I will buy a 25 th Ann. powercable. Then I will write a review about it.

Bo1972,...did you ever actually listen to an Elrod cable of any kind? You mention 'he was fully right...' ; what Purist and Elrod models did/do you actually own and have a good amount of time listening to and comparing? It's not clear from your post that you actually had Elrod cables....

He was fully right about all the parts what it should give. And no I did not test it. So I cannot give an opinion about it. I believe Elrod make very good powercables.

But Purist Audio gives me all I want and need. Even more than I could dream of.

Understood...thank you and happy listening!
