Mapleshade versus Stealth

Hi Tom: I have a Mapleshade digital cable on order. I will not be able to form an opinion on it for quite some time as their are too many items that have changed in my system lately (new speakers plus added a DAC). Since the new DAC is why I purchased the new cable, I will be experiencing both units for the first time. When the system settles down I will then audition other digital cables from The Cable Co. and be able to get a grip on what the DAC and cables are doing for each other. I think that a plus of the "light" design will be that it will interfere less with the isolation devices that I use on my CD player and the ones that I will try out on my new DAC. I cannot use the Mapleshade speaker cables because the length of my runs are too long otherwise I would have liked to try them as well. I too wish that there were more write ups on these products and I am trying the cable out of curiosity. Pierre at Mapleshade also seems to be a great guy when I talk to him regarding other system matters. I think that the cable is called The Double Helix and was around $120.00 for a one meter cable -w- RCA's. There is more info at AA Cable Asylum, but I am not as familiar with the reviewers or their system/preference history as I am the members at this site . By this I just mean that if you notice that a poster tends to like/dislike and describe some gear that you feel the same way about it gives you a better reference to go on.

Tom; I have the Mapleshades double golden helix speaker cable & I really like it. I have updated & mod. Magnepan Tympani 1-Ds speakers,when I first saw the cables I thought no way these small wires are going to push these big old maggies. I think these are one of the best buys in audio cables.Pierre also made me some jumpers for my maggies x-over & I can tell you they made big improvement. My next IC will be the double helix. Gess you can tell I like the Mapleshade products. Good luck in your cable search.

I previously try the Stealth silver one meter interconnect in the past. I do not feel happy with this product. Overall system balance was shifted for worse. Bass is okey. I do prefer the use of other companys interconnect.

Is there no one else who uses Stealth cable? I guess opinion is split. Some think it's great, some don't. Tom_nice, is there any other brand of cable that you recommend? I am not all knowing when it comes to cable, but I do know that there is no manufacturer that is the best for every system. What type of system is the Stealth best for, and what type will it not be so good in? Masushi614, what cables do you prefer over Stealth?

Hello all, I have had both the top of the line Mapleshade Omega Micro Wave treated speaker cables and Omega Micro interconnects and loved them until I received my Stealth gold interconnects and Stealth Ultimate Ribbon speakers cables and I have to say that the Stealth cables sounded better in my system, so natural and more inner details brought out with the Stealth. With the right components the Stealth cables are amazing especially the gold interconnects. I got lucky and won them on the auction for about $450.00. Hey look at it this way try both since they come with in home trials and see which sounds best in your system. They both are excellent cables! Mike S.
