Goone,

I couldn't help but notice your post. I'll tell you a little story and hopefully it may answer your questions from a different perspective...

As a dealer, albeit a small one, I've been fortunate to play with alot of goodies. About three years ago I stumbled across the rewards of powerconditioning and powercords. Since then I've been on a personal mission (for the benefit of my own living room system) to find the best sounding a/c products available regardless of costs. Some background history... My personal system is Audio Aero Capitole II, CAT Ultimate preamp, Audiopax monoblocks, Avantgarde Duos 3.2's, EPS powercables, Full Acoustic Zen cabling, 3 Vibraplanes, listening room treatments by ASC tube traps. I've been lucky enough to have experimented with quite a large list of products including but not limited to PS Audio, Hydra, Richard Gray, Equitech, CFX, Burmester, Tice, etc. Then one day I read a review on enjoythemusic.com that sparked my curiosity. I said, "Ah, a conditioner I that haven't tried". So I called Jerry Ramsey @Audio Magic & arranged for a well broken in "Stealth power conditioner" unit for evaluation. He sent me this cheap looking, almost weightless plastic box which comes with a little red powercord. I thought to myself what the heck is this thing. It just has to suck bigtime. Well I plugged it in and within the next few weeks I was rewarded with the best music reproduction my system aver made. To say I re-discovered my music all over again is a total understatement. Re-reading the review for comparison to my own notes I come to the conclusion that the reviewer seriously understated the capabilities of this little box. Probably for some industry political and personal reasons no doubt. But given my level and where my system needs to go, I was taken very hard by this device. I called Jerry Ramsey and made arrangements to become his central FL dealer. I thought some of my experiences may be helpful. The best thing I can recommend is to explore this little unit.

Regards,
Tony
Tony, have you tried Foundation Researches in-line power conditioners, the LC-1 and LC-2?

What did you hear with the Stealth pc that you did not hear with the other units tried?

Also, which Acoustic Zen models have you chosen for your home system? Why AZ and these models? And what were the top runner-ups?

-Thanks
Hi Tony, could you give me more details and perhaps a pic. How much does it cost? I am using the PS Audio plant. Heard the Hydra. Like it a lot!

Thank you.
