Which Cord Are U Using On Your Stealth?

I'm awaiting the arrival of a used Audio Magic Stealth I just picked up on Agon and was wondering which cords some of you are using to power it? I'm using a combination of Elrod PS 2, Shunyata King Cobra, Synergistic Research Designer's Ref Sq, CPCC Top Gun; Omega Mikro Planar w/Active Shielding on my various components and power supplies. Take a look at my system for the complete list of components.

Any in this group that you've found to work especially good with the Stealth? Or should I consider looking at something completely different?

Thanks for any and all feedback.

Bob, I don't think that's going to do it. Maybe a little better isolation, but you're still not getting the desirable isolation. Total separation is the way to go. It is, perhaps, too expensive, (for now), given the cost of the Digital Mini, so maybe your idea, after all, for a temporary tympanic fix, will do...

Any PC would be than the cheap cord that AM includes with the Stealth.

Warrenh's warning about Stealth break-in is an understatement. If you plug it into your system straight out of the box,you'll be very,very disapointed.

Good luck. Don't try and take look at the magic gem stones, or AM's BS will explode in your face.

Kana, the fact that you are an unabashed Stealth basher is blatantly obvious. Funny, you are the only one I've heard from that has been soooo disappointed with your Stealth from the "git go". Does it sound like it will after break in, no. Does it sound like an AM radio as you stated in another post, no. If it doesn't work for you, fine, it has worked well for others, regardless of your "BS" theories. But if you are that disappointed, you should be willing to sell it and I doubt you'll have any trouble. :-)

Thanks for everyone's responses. Can anyone set me straight as to which components are considered analog, since they have digital sources connected to them? If an analog preamp is connected to a digital cdp, doesn't it then take on the nasty digital hash and noise put out by the cdp? Same thing with the amps. Since the whole system is a chain, with each link interconnected, how do you distinguish which is what? Or am I confusing power supply with interconnects?

Thanks again.

I'm currently using a Virtual Dynamics Nite SOL from the wall to the Stealth. I'm very happy with this setup. I'm also only using the Stealth for analog. I have my turntable, preamp and amp plugged into it. I currently am using a Tara Labs AD/6 for digital on a seperate dedicated line.

John
