It is a truly directional cable built on Stealth VariCross: the conductive core changes diameter along the cable while the outer jacket stays the same, improving impedance matching between amplifier and loudspeaker. Stealth reports much better midbass and deep bass, with no loss of midrange and treble clarity, plus lower colouration through reduced resonance Q.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe V18-T adds Stealth's sliding tuning collar. Visually it is larger than the earlier Dream and Dream V10, black with two red and two gold spiral stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStealth VariCross variable cross-section geometry; directional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach wire assembly: 8 individually insulated wires in distributed LITZ, using two gauges each of solid-core copper and 99.997% silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach run in helium-filled white porous Teflon tubing, around a helium para-vacuum centre core; triple runs separated by foam Teflon spacers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved internal geometry and spacing over the Dream V.14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerminations: silver spade lugs made by hand in-house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning collar: a sliding ferromagnetic collar moved along the cable while listening; at the right spot the sound comes into focus, much like a lens.
