    As a rule, I have found insulation strippers pretty useless. I used to do a lot of soldering for a living many years ago and near enough every sleeve stripper that came my way was a waste of time. They either slip on the plastic/rubber or cut into the conductors as well as cutting the sleeve. By the time you've pissed about setting the cutting depth to a point where the cores won't get damaged, you might as have done the job by hand.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    The strippers linked to are very similar to ones I use for stripping wire-wrap wire. They're very good indeed, though pricey.
    At the other end of the price spectrum I have a pair of really cheap wire strippers which I bought from Maplin when I was a kid. Everyone laughs at them and says they look like rubbish but I find them very useful and still use them now. I can feel the insulation being cut and can usually judge how hard to squeeze to cut the insulation without damaging the conductors.

    The ones I linked to are superb and will last a lifetime. Mine are adjustable from 0.25mm to 0.8mm and will not nick the copper stands and give a super clean cut on the insulation. They have saved me so much time over the years.
