Stealth Dream AC powerchord


Hello,
I just bought Stealth Indra interconnect for source/preamp and I'm very very pleased. Now, as I need a powerchord for my cd player (Cary 306 SACD), I'm wondering whether Stealth's Dream powerchord, specifically the Digital version, would be a good match. An additional piece of information which might be relevant : this pc will be connected to a Hydra-8...
I'm wondering if any of you has had the chance to audition this pc and what the (lasting) impression it left.
cheers and thank you for your feedback

Alexsee, I have a compared all three cables (shunyata anaconda helix alpha, elrod statement, stealth dream) and i was astonished on how much improvement the dream had made to my audio gear that I have in my home. The audio gear I have setup in my office, i couldn't tell much difference and this could be on type of setup. My gear at home consist of (accuphase ps-1100 line conditioner,fm acoustics fm115 monos,fm acoustics 266-mkII preamp,acapella campanile speakers,emm labs cdsa player, all ic's are stealth indra) and my office gear is (accuphase ps-500 line conditioner,lamm ll2 deluxe preamp w/all mullard tubes,stax srm-007tII amp w/404 stax cans,accuphase dp-78 sacd player,all ic's are stealth indra/gs 50-50). If you look at the power demand for both setup, you will see the home audio gear demands more juice. So, depending on your power demand will determine what would be adequate for your setup. I am presently using the dream's for my home gear and shunyata phython vx in the office. I have done a lot of swamping of cables and this is the best result for both of my systems. good day! david picarsic
hi david, thks for sharing. you hv some very impressive components. 1 question though... doesn't the FM Acoustic stuff come with attached powercords?
yes, all fm acoustics come with an attached pc. I have my fm gear modified for the purpose of updating the pc for the latest technology in pc's.
Jagdynamics, I continue to share your opinions on the Stealth Dreams. I use them throughout my system. I have found a plug in box that you have to try. It is the Acoustic Revive RTP-6 Ultimate. It is a very major improvement over just Stealth Dreams.
I have been auditioning the Stealth Dream AC cord against an Elrod EPS 3S, and the Jena Labs One for use on my BAT VK50SE pre-amp. One thing that I noticed right away was that I had to increase the volume on the preamp when the Dream cord was put on as compared to the other AC cords. Weird, but happens every time. I was trying to compare using the same volume setting with the same cd playing the same cut, but couldn't hear the details when listening at a lower volume setting with the Dream cord and had to increase the volume about -30 to -23 to experience a comparable volume.

In comparison thus far, the Dream cord is a very nice AC cord that creates a very smooth, relaxing presentation compared to the other cables. The Jena One is, so far, my favorite as it seems to create the best soundstage, dynamics and inner detail without sounding hard or bright in any way. The Elrod is no slouch and at the end of the day may very well be the cable I decide to keep. I have found the Elrod AC cords to work very well on tubed CDPs and Preamps and for a decent price comparatively.

The two nice advantages of the Jena over both of the others is flexibility and you can plug directly into the wall outlet since the cable has the built in power conditioner. Overall the Jena One is the best I have heard thus far.

I have heard the Elrod Statement, a number of Shunyatas and a host of others as well. I do believe that matching the cord with the equipment is critical and the Dream AC cord is one I would recommend giving a try if you can afford to.
