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.

Warren,

Maybe you can help me figure out how to configure the Stealth. I'd like to connect my preamp, SET amp, multi-ch amp, cdp, dvd and surround processor to the Stealth. But since you caution against mixing digital and analog, help me think this through. Although the preamp is analog, the cdp and dvd connected to it are digital, so I suppose for the purpose of this excercise I have to consider the preamp as digital as well? That would leave only the amps as analog, but of course they're also connected to the digital sources. Where am I going wrong here?

In addition to the Stealth, I also have a PS-300 and Ultimate Outlet. Could I use a combination of these to separate components? I know the UO prevents digital hash from flowing back into the system, so that may be of help in isolation. I'm not sure if the PS-300 does the same. I'd like to be able to use all these or get rid of the one's that are of no benefit.

What do you think about the idea of connecting the PS-300 AC regenerator into the wall, and plugging the Stealth into it? That way the Stealth will be receiving pure power to begin with. Then I could plug the UO into one of the Stealth's outlets, allowing me to connect 2 components into the UO. If if doesn't allow digital noise back into the Stealth, wouldn't that isolate those components from the others connected to the Stealth? Complicated, isn't it?

I'm sure you have much more experience in this area than I do, so I'll defer to you. I'm just looking to maximize my current equipment.

Thanks.
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.
