Teajay thanks for your reply back regarding the unit, strange about the Oracle 2000 transport because there was a significant difference in my set-up and last night I experienced a similar situation but in my friends set-up.

His set-up consist of Vandy 5A's, Dartzeel amp and pre combo along with the Accustic Arts Dac and Trans. combo. He replaced his EMM units recently with the Accustic Arts.


Last night I took my unit over to his home, he is also using Stealth Sextet AES digital cable and Indra from dac to pre, he has been nagging at me wanting to hear the combo in his system since he heard it at my place. I really did not want to do this because of the suspension but I took care so no damage would occur. The difference was actually greater in his system than in mine so this really has me dumb founded about your experience. Some thoughts being possible system synergy issues, was the Oracle the latest version? My unit which was new was not even broken in and when I put it into place you could hear the differences right away, this is just too weird.

Oh well Teajay thanks for the feed back at least you are enjoying the Stealth product and "AA" gear which includes myself.

Get this another friend of mine who has JM-Nova Be's borrowed my Stealth Indra and just hated it in his system, I didn't even get to hear it for my self. He has a marvelous sounding system also, so go figure.

All we can do is try, I'm looking forward to getting to hear the unit.

Enjoy your new toy!

The V3 does not accept USB, is that coorect?
