Stealth Audio loudspeaker cables - time to replace after almost 10 years?

Hello all,

I bought back in Aug.2011 loudspeaker cables "Stealth Dream Petite" from Stealth Audio and I very happy with them. My question is how long these cables will keep their pristine conditions soundwise. What is the experience in this respect? 

Furthermore, replacing them by Stealth Audio "Dream Petite V16" or by V16-T? represent a step up and why? I would welcome comments of Stealth Audio speaker cables :-)

Finally, I'm open to other brands, but my experience with Stealth has been very positive so far.


Possible relevant information: I've got MSB Analog DAC / XLR ghostcables / power amp PASS 250.5 / speaker Avalon Acoustics Indra.

Kind regards and thank you

Mike

If you are using your system on a regular basis I don't think cables ever degrade. Might something else sound better? Sure but perhaps not and if you're happy with the sound you're getting why change?

Stealth has bad service and 0 resale look at Purist either new or used a wonderful sounding cable from a great company. Furutech speaker cables are also very good if you get the top models.Good luck!!

ebm, Stealth may have resale value difficulties but they are absolutely fantastic sounding cables and I would put them up against any other manufacterer and I had zero issues with customer service.

I see alot more Purist, Tara, Nordost top of line cables for resale more then Stealth by the way so something must be going on.

I ran Stealth cables for many years and currently running Furutech top end cables which are a true bargain for there performance but they don’t compare to Stealth top of the line of course the difference in price between Stealth and Furutech you could by a great preamp, dac ect.
