Stealth Dream AC powerchord

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.
