for the Xstream Plus

There is an immediate sound difference when I added this power cord to my Jolida 1701. It is rather heavy and stiff and hard to work with. Female ends seem to grab quite well. And overall solid fit and finish. I noticed darker background, better midrange, and airy'er highs. The soundstage expanded and deepen. Just awesome! Just like a component upgrade. A little pricey though, PS Audio raised their prices. This cable was going for $199 for 1M which is what I paid for it, but is now listed at $229 for 1M.
A good match for my Jolida and other assoc. equipment.

Product Weakness: Big!
Product Strengths: Qaulity fit and finish, awesome sound.
