The Straight
AC cord
The STEALTH STRAIGHT AC cord has been in development for the major part of the year
2013, and went into production late in 2014.
This cord features unusual for STEALTH cords straight - i.e. not
spiral arrangement of conductors, hence the name.
The conductors are braided (very flexible, but sturdy),
double-insulated, spaced (extra internal distance between the
conductors) and hollow (this type of conductors features greatly
reduced inductance, compare to the conventional round
conductors).
Such configuration offers a combination of low capacitance,
combined with low inductance (which is especially important for
he ground run), for the absolute minimal reactive interaction
with the AC signal form (which perfectly suits the name of the
cord); subjectively, the STRAIGHT cord offers perceived "speed" surpassed only
by our pure silver, Helium-filled Cloude 99 - but the tonality
is subjectively "warmer" and more balanced, i.e.
closer to the Dream V12 than to the Cloude 99.
