New silversmith fidelium cable

For Ozzy and others who found the Fidelium's did not work, have you tried other copper foil cables and had the same results? 

It could be a tube/amp/speaker mismatch problem. Large thin foils have an electrical characteristic (either high/low capacitance/inductance, I forget which) that just does not play well with some amps and speaker crossovers. 

I do remember many years ago having custom 2" wide mundorf copper foils, some of the best sounding SC’s I ever had.

But the positive and negative were sandwiched together with a thin layer of teflon double sided tape - the only thing keeping them from shorting out.

Those cables, and the Geortz, and the Townshend F1, they all sandwich the positive and negative close together.

Other like this Fidelium, the Lenehan foils e.t.c do the opposite and have them separated.

I wonder what effect this will have an system matching, because one will suit your amp/speaker combo better than the other.

All these ribbon cables are not going to be as compatible with equipment as normal stranded/solid core cables would be. Ozzy has maybe identified one such setup with his tube amp and found a cable better - for him - at 5x times the price.

That's fine. But the Fidelium 8 foot pair for $1195 really seems to be a huge deal if the user reports are any indication. It's not often cables little over a grand are replacing 10k+ cables in this hobby.
