Being the CG “Cu” a new model (Jan 2025) I have to correct all my previous comments: I always referred to Cu last year simply to indicate the “non Ag” Cloude Grande. Now I have to call it CG or “CG Normal” because CG Cu is a new version I still haven’t never tried. ---

Me apart, we are talking about fundamental contributors around there, able to share useful infos and personal experiences on the STEALTH PC argument, honorary members included! Maybe some more shy member will be revealed soon. What interests me is how owners use them, the rationale behind their choice (if there is one) between the different versions. How different sources and components sound if/when powered by a specific STEALTH power cord compared to other of the same or different brand. Which sonic attributes owners noticed in particular and eventually what they didn’t like. If they received more infos or suggestions from Serguei in order to better understand tips or recommendations or even rumors about new versions or special limited editions coming out. And so on… ---

Indeed. Shared experiences with the cable variants and their synergy (or lack thereof) with specific components has been a great guide. Serguei’s recommendations have been helpful too. Beats trying to wade through their website and price lists which are subpar at best. I like the idea of enlisting your web design expertise. Could be a win-win. ---

A few months ago I was debating with the dealer about V18 UNI cords. To my ears this cable set “Digital” with the screws sounded different from the V18 Digital, for the worst. The dealer said they should sound the same way. Serguei wrote us an email explaining why I was right, the V18 Digital ended up to be the best cord for sources with internal switching mode power supplies. While the UNI is more expensive and the best choice for his future trade in value. ---

Serguei has not always recommended the most expensive solution and, has encouraged listening to several of them to pick a favorite. Outside of Luca, I don’t know anyone that has done that. He has been fairly consistent with cable choices that are designed for analog and digital applications. Cables that vary in metal composition, within the same series, seem to be more a matter of personal choice. ---

I’m the guy who sweeps up after all of you leave the club room. I only have one V18 UNI, and now I see from Luca it’s their worst cord! 😂 ---

Fear not. It’s a great cable. Some might be more comparable with certain gear than others. Stealth’s strength is in their leading edge designs. Product application, model differentiation and pricing leave much to be desired. ---

The worst Stealth cord is probably better than most other companies best cord. ---

It’s not the worst at all, Tony. Sorry for my incomplete explanation. When I had a Sean Jacobs linear power supply, I was using the V18 UNI set to “Analog” and I liked it. Since I replaced the LPS with a Network Acoustics PSU (switching mode or hybrid as they call it) I tried the same V18 UNI , set to “Analog” first and “Digital” secondly. I was thinking that V18 UNI could perform exactly like a Standard V18, with the flexibility to swap from analog to digital on your needs. When I tested a V18 Standard Digital I realized that it isn’t the case, the sound is different (not a night and day difference but easily audible to my ears). The dealer said “it’s impossible, they should sound the same way”. Serguei gave us a good explanation to clarify why I heard a difference, It could be system dependent or a matter of personal taste, if I like the V18 Digital more than the UNI version. You know our Italian saying “né carne, né pesce”! ---

I started out with a V18 on my P20 and immediately heard a difference, enough to fall in love with it. That sonic love gave me the confidence to buy a Dream 20-20; but I would be still very happy with the V18. ---

I know I have at least one UNI, I never paid attention to how it is configured. Hmmmm. ---

If you look on the **Uni** plug, it shows the different configurations of the Screws screwed in or out. One way is for Digital and one way is for Analog. Kinda tough to see with my old eyes - I really think Stealth should include a white sheet explaining, included with the cord. ---

I agree about the white paper. The metal and plastic screws seem screwy frankly as does the collar. ---

FYI - These are the 2 screws removed. (1) Ferrous (1) Plastic I would think their position screwed-in would be pushing on some kind of switch within the plug? ![Screws](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/4X/c/0/d/c0d4a143c24e0775b1533c36f9b3858f181bf748.jpeg) ---
