Elrod power systems

[GWNG8]

Has anyone had any experience with Elrod cabling?

Power cords (Gold Statement) are outstanding. I have 2. Gold IC's are according to a friend, excellent.

Good to know thanks. Not a lot of info out there on them but the little I've seem seems positive

If there are still questions on the latest Elrod Statement Gold and Silver product lines, I can definitely help. I also know a few guys with amazing systems that have moved up to "DIAMOND" level cables which will leave you speechless.

Over a 4 year period I have evolved the system to use virtually 100% Elrod Statement Gold Next-Gens (meaning his latest designs from the last 1-2 years) for power cords, XLR interconnects and speaker cables; only exceptions were DC power umbilicals that were not available from Elrod and Digital Cables and in 2 cases, where budget has not yet allowed the upgrades. The cable merry go-round over 25+ years has seen a lot of money spent at various levels all the way up to top-line cables of all sorts from at least 7 high-end cable companies. They all had their benefits and things I liked about them, keeping each line for multiple years until I ran into the one aspect of the house-sound when summed up that was not what I was looking for, or when multiplied by putting their cables on everything, summed up to be overwhelming, or much of the time, finding that while good or great in many cases, "musical energy and realism in the room" was the key element missing.

Let's just say that after all this time and hearing a lot of other great cables that I've owned or auditioned, for interconnects, power cords and speaker cables, I have heard nothing that touches Elrod Statement Gold NextGen/latest and Diamond cables and I do mean nothing. There are quite a few 'philes, not all who advertise their systems, but many who do, with major audiophile-grade systems, who have this level of install from what I've learned over the years from Europe to Asia and many places in between. For those of us who love Esoteric (and there are many here!), a real treat for me was the performance jump when I cabled up my Esoteric P-03U/D-03 and G-03x clock and as of late, the 02 separates including A-02 amp. Pair that with reasonable (not inexpensive) prices, a builder who is the most helpful, decent and humble person you will ever meet and you've got the world-class combination we all look for (IMHO).

I've just posted a new thread under the cable forum for "ELROD new MASTER SERIES...." in the next few minutes. Installed ONE today and after 12 hours I am speechless (it had 2 weeks of burn-in on in thanks to Elrod). This changes the game substantially and the words "component-level upgrade" come to mind.....
