Stealth Audio Dream Petite

I haven't heard the AP cables, but I do agree that when I demo'd the VD Revelation's their bass was stunning, the best I've heard. Unfortunately, I had problems with other areas of the VD, so I did not keep them. I've probably only heard a couple of dozen speaker cables, and none of them have it all. I don't think it is possible, not with synergy and personal tastes involved.

I would not say the Stealth bass is rolled off, more that the VD bass is 'enhanced' by it's fullness. The VD goes deep and is full, which makes it sound 'bombtastic'. The Stealth cables go deep, but are tighter and better defined, so they don't sound as powerful. The bass is there if it's SUPPOSE to be there, no artificially created bass for the bass lover's though.

I also own a pair of Jade Audio's Vermeil speaker cables. Both the Jade and the Stealth cryo-treated Hybrid MLT's have the same 3-D soundstage. The Stealth has better extension, while the Jade has that glorious golden midrange. Many times which cable sounds best will depend on the recording. One of these days I'll get around to running them in 'shotgun' formation, and hope for the best of both world's.

Cheers,

Hi John,
I like the idea of shot gun cables. What you really could call excess!

Coming back to the VD cable, for sure they dont have 3D soundstage. Although extremely solid imaging. It seems to show every strike of a drum with amazing clarity.

I had the opportunity to demo these cables for a couple of months and they just BLEW me away. Unbelievable soundstage, detail, transparency. Definitely highly recommended!

Ceilalex, I was curious if you went ahead and kept the Stealth. I have an Indra which I use for CDP> Preamp, and definitely have considered trying more when the right time presents itself. At this point , maybe a Metacarbon for my longer IC, and the Dream Petite for SC. I like my Kubala Sosna Emotion very much. It has just been a long stretch since I have tried another cable.

Well, I ended up returning them since I could not afford them. I was originally going to demo the metacarbons, but my dealer suggested I try the prototype petite dreams. At the time, there was no pricing. Alas, I should have never demo'ed since I loved them. It was VERY difficult to part with them. I have PGS 3D interconnects that I love. I've tried the Indra, but again, a bit too expensive for me...let me know what you decide! At least try them, they are AWESOME.
