Dream V18-T Speaker, 2m.
Dream V18 is truly directional loudspeaker cable. It is the newest - and the best up-to-date (2021) revision of the STEALTH Dream family of loudspeaker cables (excluding only the separately standing flagship Dream Royale). The size (overall diameter) of the Dream V18 (revision 2021) is larger than such of the Dream and the Dream V10, the color is Black (with two red and two gold spiral stripes that go along the cables). The Dream V18 offers a number of improvements over its predecessors - the Dream V.14 and the Dream V10.
This is the STEALTH loudspeaker cable featuring variable cross-section along the cable (STEALTH VariCross) - designed to improve impedance matching between the source (power amp) and the receiving end (loudspeaker) - which considerably improved midbass and deep bass performance, without any compromise whatsoever in the midrange and treble definition and clarity. The diameter of the conductive core varies along the length of the cable, while the outer diameter of the jacketed cable remains the same, and thus the cross-section of the cables changes along the cable. This technique - which is absolutely impossible to make using a machine, and quite difficult to make by hand - is worth the effort because it dramatically improves the cable resonance characteristics and behavior via effectively lowering the "Q" at ALL resonance frequencies - which results in a better overall tonal balance, lower any coloration of the sound, and improves perceived clarity.
