The Stealth Audio HAC Powercord in EXCELLENT condition and is slightly over 6 feet long. At this length it originally retailed for over $500 and I am asking $189 OBO + shipping & insurance.

The Stealth Audio S/PDIF Fineline MKII in EXCELLENT condition and slightly over 2 feet long (has RCA connectors). At this length it originally retailed for over $170 and I am asking $69 OBO + shipping & insurance.


PRICE FOR BOTH IS $239 + shipping & insurance.

Their current line of 2 meter Powercords list from $750 - $3,750 NEW. The VARIDIG is currently priced for .6 meter at $650 or $800 each. Please visit the Stealth Audio Website at:  (http://www.stealthaudiocables.com) .

These lighltly used cables offer a huge savings to a buyer considering Stealth Audio’s reputation and current pricing!

From the Stealth Audio Website:

“HAC -"Hi A/C" is designed to allow any power hungry component to effortlessly draw current from your supply. The HAC consists of nine individually Teflon® insulated shielded conductors. HAC cord can handle the demands of both low and high wattage equipment. This cord has been tested with 1000W monoblocks and worked with extremely low resistance and no stress.   Source components also benefit from the quality, shielding, and effortless power draw provided by the HAC.

HAC features summary:
Three runs of Teflon® insulated silver plated oxygen-free copper wire for each: "phase", "return" and "ground" (i.e. nine runs altogether); Three separate silver plated "source-terminated" shields: an individual shield for "phase", "return" and "ground"; Double Teflon® insulation (rated at 1500V continuous) - internal, between the central conductors and the shield, and outer - show-white, plus black mesh outer jacket; Arrow Hart 6266 HG hospital-grade (green dot) AC plug, rated 15A/125V; American-made IEC plug with built-in strain relief, rated 15A/125V.
 
SOUND
The HAC cord has been compared to AC cords from Cardas, Kimber, Sinergistic Research, Audioquest, Classe, Marigo, and others - in several different audiophile systems. None of the mentioned cords sounded as good as the HAC. The HAC - like all STEALTH AC cords - is conceptually different from the majority of audiophile cords of the market. AC power cords' "sound" mostly depends not on the AC carrying wires, but on the ground wire, which NEEDS to be shielded since it's included into the sound SIGNAL PATH (ground path, to be more precise) - that's largely why different AC power cords sound different from each other! AC is filtered in the power supplies, but the ground goes in and out just the way it is. Therefore, in general, the better your house ground wiring is, the more obvious are the HAC sonic advantages. But all the technical justifications and positive reviews do not matter as much as the improvement this cord will make on YOUR system.”

Fineline MKII

“The Fineline MK II features 99.99% pure certified silver (single core) central conductor covered with Teflon insulation of the appropriate thickness to meet the S/PDIF characteristic impedance requirements. What makes the Fineline MK II unique is the PURE SILVER shield/return The removal of all non-silver material from both signal and ground paths emphasizes the famous silky “silver sound” and makes it possible to bring this cable characteristics to suit the 96 KHz/24 bit audio and DVD standard. Needless to say that the cable is 100% compatible with the most common current CD and LD standard (44.1/16bit) and all other common present digital audio standards (excluding AES/EBU standard which requires usage of XLR connectors; STEALTH line of cables includes AES/EBUconfiguration as well).
 
TERMINATIONS
Fineline MKII S/PDIF DIGITAL cable is available in RCA-to-RCA, RCA-to-BNC, and BNC-to-BNC terminations.
 
SOUND
The Fineline MK II allows your equipment to demonstrate what it's capable of. Its completely neutral, smooth and open sound proves the successful marriage of theory and top quality components. On the majority of high-end systems Fineline MK II will offer about 95% of the unsurpassed STEALTH Varidig performance and therefore it could be the last digital interconnect you’ll ever need. The only thing that will sound more correct to you is the surprisingly reasonable price... The Fineline MK II requires about two days of initial break-in after the installation to show its "sound character" - before that time, a slight upper-midrange "brightness" (typical for pure silver cables) might be heard. For approximately 7 to 10 days after the initial break-in, sound becomes progressively smoother and more natural. In general, in two weeks after the installation, Fineline MK II is ready for critical listening. Please note that in order to perform their best, all our analog and digital interconnect cables should be broken-in on the very same system with the very same components used for critical listening! If a cable is disconnected or used with other components, it might be necessary - for the best sound - to start the break in process from the very beginning.. According to our experience, this rule applies to the vest majority of all high-end cables from various manufacturers.”
