Pure Audio Project Trio 15 - Silversmith Audio Fidelium internal wiring upgrade

Hi,

I have the PAP Trio 15 Horn1 and had the Fidelium ribbons for trial on the interior wiring. They sounded good, a bit better than the VDH that came with the speaker, however I sent them back because I didn't think they sounded $1600 better. As silly as it sounds I ended up talking to Paul Speltz at Anti-Cable about using his wire for internal wiring, and we came to the decision of trying solid core 12GA wire (3.1) single run. I was blown away at the difference in the sound, clarity, imaging, bass, midrange, treble, you name it, it improved. The soundstage became much larger.  The speakers are much more dynamic, I'm thinking the solid core wire is allowing more data or current to get through, I hear details in pieces of music I never heard before, even with the Fidelium ribbons. It cost me $90 and to my ears they beat the Fideliums. I did see someone use the 4.2 Anti-cables on a PAP Duet pair, but don't know the results.

YMMV..check them out.

Don't know if they'll allow these links of photos, but this is the Duet with the 4.2 Anti-Cable wire.

Agreed, the Anti-Cables are the best I've ever heard on the Trio 15. I just run a single 12 GA wire, and 3.1 wires from Amp to Speakers. I did purchase the upgraded caps and resistors from Mundorf , that also made a significant improvement. I really like the sound I'm getting now. I didn't think the Fidelium ribbons added much and I didn't like the way they connected to everything, very awkward connection. Yes, and the price is right!
