I posted about the Nite digital cable just recently and will eventually have some results to share regarding the power cords. I pulled two Elrod EPS power cords off my Audio Magic Stealth PLCs (have a separate digital Stealth to isolate the front end) The thing is I made a LOT of changes all at once so I cannot in all honesty tell you what caused what. AS w/ all things audio there is always a give & take when swapping out top level stuff. However, the Nits are no joke and I'm certainly not embarrassed to have anyone stop by and hear the rig, that's for sure. I will later post about how they stack up to my Shunyata Cobra, Viper V2, Elrod PCs, Omega Mikro PC, TG Audio SLVR and Audio Magic Illusions. This is going to take some time though but maybe if you email me directly we can talk some to give you an idea. I hate to type much anymore and w/ a gazillion free cell phone minutes I'd be happy to ring you about things.
Audio Magic Stealth and Virtual Dynamics PC
I am curious if anyone is using any of the Virtual Dynamics power cords with their Stealth unit. I just got a demo Stealth unit (6 plugs) and I am very impressed with the sound improvements. I replaced my Panamax 1000+, which was a good surge protector but the sound was not the greatest.
I will always use a surge protector because of bad experiences with my Bay Area power lines (I rent). During last years power crissis, my Panamax 1000+ died saving my system during the power blackouts. Panamax replaced the unit promptly. I mention this because I am reading in this forum that most people are hooking up their VD PC's into the wall socket directly.
Has anyone used both the Stealth and a VD PC with better results than with either of them alone. If this is a good combination, I could get away with using very short length PC's. Are there sonic issues with the PC being very short in length. I could use a half foot power cord just from my pre-amp to the Stealth, if that was available or the way to go.
I have never purchased any PC's so I am unsure of the benefits but I am open minded to give it a try. I am using the OEM (or factory) PC's with the following compoments:
Sony SCD-1 (SACD player)
Yamaha Tuner
Bryston BP-25 (pre-amp)
Bryston 14B-SST (amp)
Bryston XLR (balanced) interconents (SACD-Pre-Amp)
Audio Quest Speaker wire (Calderas, Volcano)
Revel Ultima Salons (speakers)
Audio Magic Stealth
My system sounds amazing to me right now. But if I can get improvements with a PC, why not finish off my system with that.
Thanks for reading.
