Stealth Dream AC powerchord

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.

Guys, last evening I painted the carbon fiber plugs at both ends of one Stealth Dream Preamp power cord with the AVM paint. You can learn about the AVM at http://www.universalkaraoke.com/ Again all that I painted was the outsides of one Stealth. What I got as a result was much crisper sound with a great sense of the hall, recording studio, or live venue of the recording. Had a friend not reported the benefits of painting the entire length of a power cord, I would have not done this as I assumed that the carbon fiber plugs would have been largely immune to vibrations. I, of course, now need to paint the remainder of my power cords.

I am continually amazed at how pervasive the disruptions of vibrations are to our systems. I joked with a friend last night that my wife would probably say "absolute not" were I to paint my windows.

I wanted to revive this thread to ask if the Stealth Dream power cable changes with break-in, especially in the upper high frequencies. Thanks in advance.

It has been some time since I got Dreams, but I think they do take breakin and it is the highs that come around last. I think you also need to keep the silver plugs clean.
