In Reply to: Elrod EPS-3 Signature terminations: Furutech or Wattgate? posted by LarBo on December 8, 2006 at 19:28:23:
Hi LarBO,Regarding which make is which, and what was replaced...
As shown in the photo, the EPS-3's square-bodied (clamshell type, a.k.a. Valise) AC connectors look to be gold plated Furutech FI-15 series AC connectors.
The round-bodied "standard" looking terminations that you mention are perhaps Marinco AC connectors, since Elrod seems to have replaced the Furutech's with Marinco's for the newer version EPS power cords:
An article mentions...

"Update: Since the Furutech components that David Elrod has used in his power cords are no longer available in non-cryoed configurations, he has begun using Marinco IECs and plugs. He feels this maintains his preferred sound signatures across his lines."

(see link to full article below)
Why David Elrod would prefer a non-cryo'd Marinco over a cryo'd Furutech seems odd to me. Maybe a strong opinion against cryo treatment? I dunno... Marinco AC connectors sound very different than Furutech FI-15 AC connectors (cryo'd or not). And why mundane Marinco AC connectors would be chosen over Audio Grade Wattgate AC connectors also seems peculiar... just my 2 cents :-)
Cheers, Duster
