I have both the RCA cables and the XLR cables, both terminated with really nice connectors (his own I think, but I don't know for sure). The cables are basically a ribbon (about 1/4" wide or so) inside of a black mesh, very flexible and very light.
First impressions: Silversmith Fidelium interconnects
I ordered two pairs of Silversmith Fidelium interconnects (from DAC to preamp and from preamp to power amps). I had a feeling the Silversmith would be good as I had already replaced my Clear Beyond speaker cables with the Fidelium speaker cables to great effect.
What can I say.... Jeff Smith must be some kind of cable whisperer! Not only did the interconnects clearly improve on pretty much everything from the first second, but after a few days, they absolutely destroyed anything and everything I have ever tried (and that includes the very expensive but amazing Clear Beyond interconnects). Somehow, the Fidelium interconnects added space to the performance in a very natural way; drive and tempo, but more than anything else heart and soul. Color me impressed!!!!
This must be the steal of the century... I have no idea how Jeff can (or want to) sell these cables for less than $1000 a meter... But who am I to argue with the cable whisperer?!

@roadcykler and @tkrtrb125 Not sure what you're trying to say... I'm nothing more than a happy customer that really like the product I purchased. Since there's not a lot of information about these anywhere to be found, I posted my initial impression.
As to the cost, considering that these are less expensive than the cables I have (and what I sell them for used is going to be more than the cost of these), I don't see an issue. And the price to performance ratio is off the chart. Plus, I can afford them. |
I've received some PMs asking for the components I use these with:
PS Audio AirStream into a PS Audio DirectStream Sr (Mk1, modified). XLR Fidelium to Luxman CL38uc (with NOS tubes). RCA Fidelium to Coincident Frankenstein MKII (NOS tubes). Fidelium speakers cables to ZU Omen Def Supreme. All setup in a dedicated and treated room. |
@audiojan I was not disparaging you, I believe cables can make an improvement. I think it is your choice and only you will know what the cost, benefit is in your system. It is rather tiresome seeing posts where people denigrate others for their desire to make improvement in their systems using cable upgrades or other tweaks, this is common in all forums. |
