Since Stealth has already come up, maybe I won't be hammered for throwing in my impressions. Full disclosure: I know the designer, so assume a bias if you wish. I used to make cables like homegrown's, with relatively thick silver, and thought they were pretty nice. I used Kimber AGSS too, and made KCAG clones, as well as "time-aligned" attempts, with solid core wire combined with longer AGSS. When I heard my first Stealth cables, I gave up my cable-making career in a hurry, though I loved, and still love, being a DIY type. If there's any truth in Malcolm O. Hawksford's "The Essex Echo", a huge number of cable manufacturers are using wire that's MUCH too thick to make a really good cable. Stealth, and some other makers--Cardas, for one--don't make this mistake, and in a good system, their cables will show their superiority. In lesser systems, inferior cables may not show up as such. Something else needs to be improved first.
