Muratc,
I also love the Elrod Statements sound, but was frustrated with their unwieldy nature and bulk ( I currently also have a small room.) So recently I went on a quest to find a pc at least equal the sonics of the Statement, without the Statement ergonomics. I tried several cords including the Epiphany X ( an nice cord but I felt lacking weight IMS.) and Kubala-Sosna Emotion (excellent cord for the money and very close to the Elrod.) Thus far, the only pc I have tried, and now have purchased which exceeded the Elrod in my system and by a far amount to my great surprise is the Jena Model One pc. It is very pricey, supple in design and has a buit in power conditioner. I thought that this built conditioner would be gimmicky and limit dynamics, but nothing is further from the truth. This pc gave me another degree of improved dynamics (macro and micro) and low-level detail, while retaining the natural resolution that I still love about the Elrod. I am waiting to try the Prana Maha-Samdhi pc, but this is even more expensive. One of the things I have learned is that there is always better equipment , wire, and etc, but the music is what I enjoy the most.
