Are dog collars acceptable knock offs?
Tuning Collars on speaker cables - concept and any good?
Hello all,
I was wondering if someone can tell me what the effect is in the "real world" of having tuning collar on speaker cables. Are such tuning collars any good (for example Stealth Audio offers them)? Is there any downside by having them?
It would be great to hear from other fellow goners who have first hand experience with them, if possible with Stealth Audio cables.
Cheers and thank you for sharing your information

Simon is one of the world renown conductors of our time. He should know better.......at least, about music. ( 😉 ). >>>>No shirt, that’s kind of why he said it. 😀 |
TECHNICAL NOTES Stealth Tuning Collars Based on numerous listening sessions with various equipment, a STEALTH “T” cable with a tuning collar in the optimum position, the overall result (sound) is better than with the cable without the collar, BUT – with the collar in incorrect position the sound is not as good as with a cable without the collar. The best sounding tuning collar position is different for every two pieces of equipment which that cable connect, thus it is impossible to point at the same spot (location) of the collar, giving the same sound as without the collar. Finding the best position of the collar is a lengthy process and requires some time and patience. Usually two people are needed (one is listening, and the other is moving the collar). It is even better to have several people, and listen together >>>>>Conclusion: the Stealth Cable Collar works on the same principle as the Shun Mook Original Cable Jacket and the Cable Wrap from Highwire. It absorbs the reflected electromagnetic wave. Case closed! 🕵️♂️ |
