I use the original Hydra with an Elrod EPS 2 Sig (to which David Elrod attached a NEMA connector) and it works very well. I would think a Statement would work even better. I run the EPS 2 Sig to a PS Audio UO, and then a Statement from the UO into the wall and I have been happy with this setup for 3 years, a new record for longevity in audiophilia romance! The Statement is a SOTA cord.
