Matt/PA,
You' re absolutely right about manufacturers always thinking their product is the " best" out in the market. Some are worse than others and you really have to learn to read between the lines. I probably didn' t make myself very clear when I made the statement " I tend to favor their testing procedures because it takes the human element/bias out of the testing (if done ethically). " What I meant to say is that testing equipment usually doesn' t show bias, it simply reports measurements and if the testing is done ethically(meaning apples-to-apples, no hopped up products or human interference) then this should provide an objective review of a product.

I guess I tend to believe most of what SVL tells me simply because of their well-deserved reputation as vibration, noise reduction specialists. When I inquired about other stabilizers such as Quiet Tune, Vibracheck & Doinker, of course they always told me that their product was better, but they also would tell me that these other stabilizers performed well in certain areas and not so well in other areas. With the Stealth, I didn' t really get the same response as I did with Vibracheck or Doinker. They said they tested it and it really didn' t perform any better than any other stabilizer based on liquid and/or granular design. I was actually very suprised by their response because of all the positive feedback I' ve heard about the Stealth stabilizer. Your testing however seems to prove otherwise and does seem very convincing since you tested it on several bows and did a " blindfold" test. It' s really hard to argue against that type of testing.

I may have purchase a Stealth and see how stacks up against the Quiet Tune and SVL, since I already have both. I do have one question though, it is my understanding that any type of liquid in a stabilizer will be subject to changes in performance if you reach temperature below freezing. Have you tested the Stealth in any extreme temperature ranges? Thanks for the insight.
