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

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.
some friends & i did a powercord shootout a while back. the shootout included:

harmonix studio master
jena labs model one
jorma super power
pranawire samadhi
pranawire satori
purist audio dominus rev.c
shunyata anaconda helix alpha
stealth dream (preamp & amp)

while there were certainly some combinations we preferred, there were ultimately no winners or losers. component-cable matching is indeed key.
Alexsee, sounds like a fun but exhausting experiment. I have tried most of these and some others typically compared on one component, an easy one, the cd players or amp. I can make decisions for me but that is about it.
