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

I’ve also been using Dream Petite speaker cables since quite a number of years now and am still REALLY happy with them. Why should they ever degrade?? They don’t! Just clean their connectors once every ten years and your set! I think you suffer a bit from boredom and/ or curiosity for something else…understandable. It’s a bit like with women after such a longer period of time …LOL.
But oftentimes it doesn’t get better …and coming back to topic: changing speaker cables to a different brand may make it necessary to change other parts of your chain as well to get your required sound (back?). So big risk here! The V16 versions in my book are more or less cosmetics. Change ONLY when you’re not satisfied with the sound of your system AND your speaker cables are the weakest part in your chain (which I doubt cause they’re great when fully broken in).
