Any owners care to share their experiences, I see pics of them being used in numerous set-ups at shows.

I have used numerous manufactures product over the years and as the norm will be system dependant.

What I like about the product is the cables are flexible, the fit and finish is top quality and obviously what they offer.

Serguei seems to be continuing to learn and producing new product - one can clearly hear the differences also.

I have been using the product for numerous years now with satisfaction, one recommendation I would to suggest is not to mix and match cable manufactures, I have found synergy occurs when you utilize product from the same.

I use balanced IC's "interconnects" between amp and pre and all other components to pre-amp, my speakers are designed to be bi-amped or bi-wired. I have two runs of Dream cables to each speaker. I also use all their power cords to creat a Star grounding configuration. If you aren't familiar check out their site for explanation.

I have made some changes over the years - I started with using the Indra's for IC's but moved up to the Sakra's - I was also using the Sextet between Dac and transport, I tried both AES and RCA terminated version and preferred the AES.

I knew they were working on some new flagship speaker cables called Royale's, at first seeing them side by side in a pic my initial impressions was wholly crap these are huge.

My concern was to have true bi-wire, due to the new design not a concern so I no longer need two runs - just have one end configured to bi-wire which I had done.

Next was my Sakra's had a new update called V12 - any technical best you go to Stealth site.

I have been very happy that I have been able to trade up and not take a huge beating to the point it made no sense to sell myself so that's nice.

I know there allot of individuals who believe cables don't do anything but that's not my take and can easily demonstrate to the point that there's no need for one to concentrate because it's so obvious.

Not looking at getting into any debates but to share exsperiences.

I had the Stealth Dream V10 power cords (amplifier and digital) and I thought they were very good. Although if I was to be perfectly honest, the differences I hear between power cables are fairly subtle so I decided to sell them and downgrade. It did take a while to find power cords and wasted $ (I guess the Stealth spoiled and raised my expectations) I thought made a improvement I thought worthwhile and settled on the Shunyata Zitron cables. I wish I had the chance to try out the higher end speaker cables and interconnects. Looks great Dev!
 
Congrats, dev, they look awesome!


Is it me, or do the spades look exceptionally small?
 
I could not find the discussion of star grounding on their site ? can you provide the link ? Pretty hot looking wires there...
 
I just went on the site and see it's no longer there, there use to be a section specifically discussing. I haven't read everything but go into the sections for power cords, that's where there will be any info. in relation to Star Grounding Refer to the below attachment and read what's on the page, if still isn't clear I would recommend you send a email.

[h=3]A full complement of Dream AC cords offers virtual star grounding* of the entire audio system via using AC cords.[/h] Using the correct Dream cord types for all components in a system allows achieving star ground layout (single point ground); When you mix and match different AC cords, you have more than one path to the ground, and therefore there is a ground loop (or several ground loops). In addition, most other cords have ground path which is not RF transparent enough to realistically dump the electromagnetic pollution to the ground. Still in addition, most other power cords are unfiltered, and when used with digital equipment, these unfiltered cords allow the noise from switching power supplies in the digital equipment enter the analog components' circuitry through their straight ground path and thus compromise perceived clarity of the sound.
This is a theory, and it's based on our own "model" of how things work. Some people would disagree (there is always someone who disagrees with any theory). But in order to accept - or challenge the theory and ultimately hear the improved sound, we highly recommend that you evaluate the Dream AC cords as designed - i.e. as a system, and not as a stand alone AC cord.

Problem with not having all your components using the power cords you don't benefit from the design, to get the Star Ground, I have found this is beneficial.


As I mentioned prior what I have learned is to have cables through out from the same company.

I really like their IC's and these new SC's are marvelous brand new :)
