After having this power cable for a while, I find that PS Audio has got their signature on the sound of my setup. It actually makes the highs a bit dark-ish, although no less sparkling as compared to before the upgrade, the tonalily is different altogether.
I find this in another friend's setup as well, he is using the P300 to supply his dCS Verdi + Purcell + Elgar, and the same characteristic is present in the highs. But then, it makes the sound ever more harmonically richer.
However, the Xstream Statement is too much for pre-amp. It is suitable for my Richard Gray RGPC 400MKII. Since my Sony XA5ES and ARC Classic 60 do not cater for external IEC power cords, I have no say in how the Statement would perform with them. On the other hand, by feeding the RGPC thru the Statement, my setup improves tremendously! The presence factor is to second to none I have heard from my setup!
But never ever plug the Statement to the pre, it kills the sound when I plug it to my ARC LS8! The Prelude is a better match for pre amp! My friend's Meridian 508.24 loves the Statement though!
