Stealth cables

What is with all of these Stealth cables for sale here at AG? I ended up buying a pair of the ($2,000.00) PGS cables for obviously the lower going rate here. But I was not impressed with them. I tried them in various locations on my system but the results were always the same.
They actually sounded a little brittle in the highs. I ended up selling them because I just couldn't see using them. Are they really $2000.00 retail cables or is this some marketing scheme ?

I picked up a pair of Stealth Silver speaker cables a while ago and I do like them very much. almost my whole system is tube and i am quite pleased.

I doubt I would have spent the retail price for them, but then again, that is why we are here on audiogon.

Scottht, I tried the entired line of Stealth including the latest one. The only ones I like is the M-21 special which is was custom made under my special request. The other Stealth I tried sounded too laid back and slow. The highs aren't clean and the mids and lows are a bit dark. Not sure what type of equipment you got.

Hi,
I've been using the Stealth PGS from source to pre previously with my MSB dac to Mcintosh pre and now with my Accuphase cdp to Mc pre and it sounds great. Is your's fully runned in. Mine took a long time to but after that I liked it very much and so have my friends who come over.
Rgds,

Agree with the long break-in. I have both M-7 and PGS in the system and have definitely liked them over other cables. BTW, brittle would be the last word I'd use to describe PGS, so you may want to either see if break in makes a difference, or look elsewhere for a cause. Just an opinion.

I can echo Cjr's sentiment about the PGS. I like 'em a lot, and to my ears there's certainly nothing offensive about them. I never broke-in a pair, since I bought mine used.
