Audio Magic Stealth it is

I,too, highly trust my own ears. The Audio Magic is unbelievable. Now, if we're talking garbage....hey, I'm not going there. Trust your ears. Don't hear anything good?-- don't buy it. It's funny. I know just as many, if not more people, than Pschicanimal, who I trust equally, who would give you another rap. That's what audiodom is all about. The Stealth is definitely not garbage. Do your homework and you'll find what you like and can afford...All I can say, with comlete confidence, is that I listened to (not everything out there)most of the major players and the Stealth was it...

You know there will be a new and more expensive Stealth at the CES? I have only heard it at others and still love my Sound Application as well as the new Walker Audio unit.

I am very skeptical when it comes to line filtration--there's so much hype out there! I trust this person because he's a circuit designer, has a good ear plus a rig that's about $50K. He's listened to a lot of gear in order to make sure his design would outperform what's out there. I'm supposed to get the first Beta release for evaluation...

Warren, there's a DeZorel filter running around www.audiocircle.com. It's a different type of filter to what's available out there. You can sign up to audition it in your home...

As to what I like and *can* afford, I have what I like but cannot afford new--not a chance! I have a ONEAC CB2338 3000W (220V in/ 110V out) isolation transformer/capacitor based filter (95 lbs) and one of these:

Just be careful--If you're going to spend so much money ask them for specifications @ several bandwiths and/or a noise reduction graph. If the Audio Magic people can't provide you with *guaranteed* performance specifications turn around and spend your money elsewhere. I recently e-mailed AudioPrism and asked for the Foundation II specs and they never answered. Maybe the e-mail was 'lost'.

I do take my line conditioning very seriously...

Audio Magic is now showing their new Matrix AC line conditioner at CES. I've been told that indeed it betters the Stealth. Sounds to me like a must-hear to audition. Lists for $3200 including an upgrade input cord.

Did anyone listen to the DeZorel so far, and can share his experiences?
