Description

It is now 2015 and I have finished my Lamm Signature Triad(ML3,LL1,LP1)It is without a doubt the finest I have seen or heard,I am done with electronics.I am still using the Avalon Isis,it just grows on you and never gets old.I am still up to date on my Walker MKV,I added the oiless and carefree compresser,what a dream.I added a second Troy signature for the ML3s and it works superb,I also am using 4 Thor SE grounding cables in the system and they are a tremendous achievement.I am using Dalby audio single and Duo isolation feet under all my components,they are a component unto themselves.And last but not least the latest and greatest Elrod Diamond cabling to tie it all together.I almost forgot the MD 809 Internet Tuner,a real work or art.

I will add new pictures in a short while.

Regards Robert

Robert, I agree with your approach. With the Isis, there is no need to wonder about the rest. Instead, it is best to enjoy, tweak, and refine. These speakers become more impressive each year.

I have absolutely no doubt that Elrod's power cords are the best. His cords are like putting your system on steroids. Everything you have will be amplified.

I've been plotting my move, and the Elrod's will come in time. Because I have so many components, I feel the best way to incorporate the new cords is at the level of the power conditioner. Right now, I am having a power conditioner built by Miguel Alvarez at Tripoint. This is where the Elrod cords will go.

Allow me to say this about David Elrod. He is a true enthusiast, a perfectionist, and a valuable resource. I had several conversations with him in the planning stages of my power conditioner. He was extremely helpful. I found him to be quite interested in learning about the product. He was also very courteous and respectful when speaking of others products. He does not resort to self-grandizing, as he allows his products and his customers to speak for themselves. It is a pleasure to encounter such people in this hobby.

I want to thank Robert for having me over to hear what he has put together. Beautfiul system and discriminating taste at the highest level. Robert has a knack for putting together components that will satisfy for the long haul.

His system sounds big, lush, and dynamic. The Isis, CAT, Walker, and Elrod provide an absolutley outstanding midrange. I love all those cables. Anyone who says ceramic drivers sound dry and flat are crazy! The Isis is a speaker that just gets better over time, and is a real achievement from Neil Patel. I appreciate the Isis more the longer I listen to it. A little picky, but once dialed-in, amazing. Not many audio components have that characteristic.

Good to hear that the Statement Gold is a reference cable. Amazing how much bass can come from a power cord. I've been a fan of his previous Statement cables.

I'll take the plunge on the Gold once I figure-out which power conditioner is best. Then I'd like to try one there.

Oh, there is always so much more to do. Oh...
