This thread is dedicated to all STEALTH power cable owners and anyone interested of course.
Unfortunately the manufacturer’s website is lacking in clarity of information so I hope that a thread in which to collect information and direct experiences can be useful.
For example, I recently discovered that the Cloude Grande model has several versions.
Cloude Grande “Normal”:
is an alloy of copper. Not layered.
(Dealer)
The Cloude Grande is the flagship and the next of kin to the Dream V.18 - it was designed for DAC, Preamp, and CD transports. More digital ground filtration. A lot of our clients upgrade from the Dream V.18 to the Cloude Grande. This is a common option.
(Manufacturer)
Cloude Grande Cu: (new 2025)
is pure copper.
(Dealer)
Cloude Grande Ag:
all silver, combines the above features with the sonic attributes of solid silver throughout, end-to- end, including the solid silver contacts*** at both ends – to offer the ultimate finesse and delicacy of reproduced sound.
(Dealer)
99.9 pure silver version which certain patrons, made for silver transformers but have clients that have upgraded all of their powers to the Ag variant because they like how they interact with their equipment.
(Manufacturer)
Cloude Grande LE: (new 2025)
is a layered alloy - combination of the base Cloude Grande but given a repeated application of the outer base coat of heating and cooling of a combination of Nickel and Tin - which gives it a grey metallic look.
(Dealer)
features a “layered alloy” - which has the same flat conductors that the Cloude Grande. This process offers a different performance aspect than to our traditional Cloude Grande. We have made them for certain patrons that wanted a more analytical performance. It is slightly more expensive, we have only made a few cords. We are limiting them to 100 cords because we do not have enough layered alloy for more. Same with situation as the Sakra V.17 LE - which was limited to 100 pairs.
(Manufacturer)
Cloude Grande Au:
Gold has a different interaction, and we have a private patron who has a “Cloude Grande Au” - solid gold version made for their system. This is a truly exotic and expensive version, usually better to upgrade the whole system first before such a purchase. This is for certain patrons who have the best of the best in the world, which includes our Sakra’s and Cloude Grande cables.

I love this power cord and I’m using the “normal” version to power:
- Innuos Statement server/streamer
- MSB Reference Digital Director
- NA PSU of Tempus Switch
So I like it more when it comes to digital power sources.
I was also using it with the MSB (Powerbase) DAC, but recently I added the Digital Director which is meant to do the “dirty” digital work, leaving the DAC to only convert the signal to analog. A new set up. I then tried the Dream 20-20 to power the DAC and I have to admit that I much prefer it to the Cloude Grande in this new scenario.
Hope that helps.
