Anybody had experience with stealth Indra ?

Sorry to pick up this old thread but the thread starters question applies to me pretty much as I have Pass monos as well as Wilson speakers. I am also using Stealth Indra xlr as well as Stealth Dream Petite spkr cable and one (older but GREAT) Transparent Reference XL interconnect (xlr). The Indra is a gorgeous cable throughout but in my system the synergy is best with the Indra between my Preamp and monos with the Transparent between my Krell cd-player and my Einstein tube preamp. I at first had the interconnects the other way round but -as I stated above- synergy improved a lot like the cables are located now. Can highly recommend Stealth cables (higher lines as I don’t have experience with other lines).

I replaced Audioquest Sky's with the Stealth Indra (with old Cardas terminations, not production titaniums) between CEC TL-1x (modded) transport and Dodson 218 DAC. It has been a transformative experience equivalent to changing preamps. Never have I heard a cable so improve my system as the Indras. Greater sense of realism, much larger soundstage, deeper bass, sweeter and more extended treble. And the Sky's are no slouches, either. I have Valhalla IC's running from pre to power amp but have not yet tried Indras from transport to DAC to compare with Val's, which themselves are excellent. I plan to do that this weekend.

I recently replaced my WireWorld Gold XLR between my Burmester 001 CD and Burmester 011 preamp with Stealth Indra XLR. I find WireWorld very good for the price and have been very happy with them, but as good as they are, the Indras are a entirely different story.

From the first minute it improved my system very much. A lot more details, but also more analog and pleasant sound. And also the bass is now very very good, warm, rich of details. I feel I am missing nothing with the Indras.

This cable is a component upgrade.

I was able to try the Indra for a couple of weeks and they are the second best cable I have ever heard. They beat my Antipodes SG interconnects but didn't quite have the magic of the Antipodes Golds I auditioned at the same time. The Antipodes Golds sounded more detailed and more harmonically natural and rich. However I should add that the Antipodes is unusual in that by design it is the least system dependent cable I have come across so the Indra may just not have suited my system.

I had limited time last night. But I would say more organic than Nordost Valhalla. Tonight my new interconnect came.(transparent ref xlr) I will try both tomarrow.

impressions?

Today I received the indras and put them into action.(between Accuphase Dp-78 and Boulder 810)

It didn't match with trasparents ref mm speaker cable and Acrolink A7N-2070 IMO.(valhalla was between Accuphase dp-78 and Boulder 810)If I had a non networked spe.cab. like Stealth Dream or even Valhalla spe.cab. , result could be more positive.

>>and is it better than Valhalla?<<

A yes or no answer must be tempered with the user's definition of "better".

One man's ceiling is another man's floor.

I have a pair of them on loan from my local dealer and I am very impressed. I have compared them to my standard Nordost Tyr and they are very smooth and musical indeed. I am using them between the Boulder phono and preamp. The interconnects from the preamp to the power amp are Valkyrja as are the speaker cables. I have set the system up to allow me to switch the inputs to the preamp between the 2 outputs of the phono so instant switching is possible with no other influences such as level matching. Both of the cables sound very good, the Stealth just a bit rounder without any loss of detail or extension. This is something I am very sensitive to and other than the extreme cost of the Indras, I see nothing but upside over the Nordost cables.

and is it better than Valhalla?

Mert, take a look at my review of the Stealth Metacarbons , I also have a pair of Indra's in my system, and run Pass Labs XA-100's so the details hopefully will helpful to you.
