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

Chahed, You should look into NVS Sound PCs. I put a picture under my system thread. This is the best PC I have ever heard. It may be more appropriately called a 6 foot power conditioner.
Have STEALTH V10 speaker wire wonderful imaging,sounstaging bass etc.I may try power cords.
Stealth PC is a bit unusual when I tried them in my system at first. Over the past couple of years, I tried quite a few PCs. I ended up mostly with Synergistic Research Halogram A/D and one Shunyata King Cobra CX cable. My system was mostly SR cables (Apex IC/speaker cables with universal cells for both IC/SC). Initially, I tried Stealth digital on its own with my system and I was not impressed. The sound was detailed, opened but otherwise rather unexciting. Then eventually I slowly replaced SR Apex IC with Stealth Sakra which I thought was amazing, despite the price. Then my Stealth dealer suggested that I should try Stealth PC again but rather than just one cable, he loaned me 3 for monoblock power amps and pre. The change was very impressive. The bass weight is a tad lighter than SR/Shunyata but with much better definition and speed. Shunyata midrange has good detail but drier and less body. SR Halogram has bigger sounding, slightly darker and warmer but quite a bit less detail and extension on top. I did not really appreciate Stealth PC until I have a few of them in my system. May be Stealth does not play well with a mixed bag of other cables, may be you need a few of them to really get the idea of what the cables are capable of doing. I don't know. Now I am in the process of getting more Stealth PC into my systems.
Suteetat, I don't think many cable companies' cables sound good in a mixed bag. Certainly, when I had Stealth cables, Synergistic Research cables, and now Exemplar Portals, this has been true.
Thg, I totally agree with you. However, it is rather difficult to audition a whole set of power cords at home. At least I don't know too many dealers who would lend 3 or 4 power cords at a time. However, with my mostly SR cables in the past, I auditioned single Shunyata King Cobra CX, Elrod Gold Statement, JPS Aluminata and a few others and even with just one cable, the good and the bad was not difficult to hear. I am sure if I put 3-4 of the same cables in the system, it would be even easier to appreciate the differences. However, Stealth was just downright unimpressive with one cable but with 3 cables, it was a whole new story.
