Tuning Collars on speaker cables - concept and any good?


Hello all,
I was wondering if someone can tell me what the effect is in the "real world" of having tuning collar on speaker cables. Are such tuning collars any good (for example Stealth Audio offers them)? Is there any downside by having them?

It would be great to hear from other fellow goners who have first hand experience with them, if possible with Stealth Audio cables.
Cheers and thank you for sharing your information

Sure, you send me collars and I will test. I am fully set up, likely much better than the companies selling these. However, I am not in the habit of doing a vendor’s sales engineering for them, but in this case I will make an exception.

Are you volunteering? Please report results. Thanks in advance. 🤗


There was a thread going on Facebook, people more than willing to put up the money for a room, bring in their own high end equipment, etc. What do you think the odds are that suppliers will bring in their products for validation? No, those who advocate for them fully believe in them. No one references it as a way to engage in argument.   As most who advocate actually work in engineering and sciences, they would be more than qualified

Oh, and no one mentioned blind testing, as this is purely a simple measurement test.

I’ve suggested here for years that there’s a real opportunity to conduct such tests at an audio show. None of the measurementalists have ever shown an interest and of course with the current Covid crisis, it wouldn’t be possible.

Yes of course, see my 'smilie'
