Better than FIM Gold?

Has anyone done extensive listening comparison between FIM Gold cables and competition. If so, what were your impressions? For me it took FIM about two weeks to really settle in, so extended listening impressions I belive are important, for this cable anyway.

I had the good fortune of owning a pair of FIM GOLD speaker cables a while back but ended up selling them to raise some money, but am now back on track and keen to upgrade again. I found the FIM absolutely amazing and was sorry to lose them. Hence, I'm looking to maybe buy them back again used if they come up for sale. However, I'm wondering is there better for the price. I've also been keeping an eye out for Tara Labs The One, Valhalla, Synergistic and NBS stuff too. Still, with FIM, I know what I'm getting and it's great. Let me know if you've found better than FIM (especially for less money). Thanks!

Thanks guys. Siddh - I agree, I found the FIM so 'musical' as you put it, yet still so open and detailed. Even my girlfriend was shocked at how the cable sounded - she couldn't believe it.

JadeM6, thanks for the insight - it does seem that Valhalla may be king of the hill. I've also heard good things about the Statement too - it rarely seems to come up for sale though - probably a good sign.
