Better than good - it is the same level as Siltech Triple Crown

Knowing Gabi, this cable would be the best there is, or the best they can produce right now. And given their association with Siltech, I would believe the claim this cable is on par with the TC. Interesting that they chose Oyaide M1/F1 connectors. I use cryo'd M1/F1 connectors on my Jorma Prime pc's (see below)

A little bit different - Crystal is darker and more juicy. In some systems could sounds more "musical".
That is surprising. I have always heard Crystal sounding bright and crystalline. Can you clarify "more juicy"?

The Ultimate Dream Power offers more mellow and bigger sound then previous Crystal models. It's more dynamic too, so the sound is similar to "big amp" presentation - You don't have only contours but a lot of "body".

Oyaide is much smaller manufacturer than Furutech, so is more flexible when You need some "custom" version of their products.
Noted. Oyaide connectors are said to sound comparatively warmer than the Furutech rhodium ones. Maybe that helps to explain. I think the triple crown power cords use the Furutech NCF connectors.

You're right - Furutech Triple Crown is terminated by Furutech NCF plugs
I wonder can the ultimate dream be re-terminated with Furutech NCF? Just to tweak the sound. Read a lot of good things about the NCF.

Probably that couldn't be any problem for Gabi ;-) We're using NCF's on different cables and every time final effect was superb. Even on cheap - FP-3TS762. Here You can find comparison between FP-3TS762 terminated 50 (Fl-E50(R) / Fl-50(R)) NCF and default - basic 11 (Fl-11Cu / Fl-E11Cu) - full review

The Oyaide M1/F1 connectors to me sound natural, quiet (resolving) & sophisticated. I would not describe these connectors as warm. The materials used (cryo'd beryllium copper, platinum & palladium) render balanced tonality with sweet highs. Generally speaking, Rhodium can sound cooler and more tipped up in the treble. Though the NCF connectors are on the top echelon.
