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

PAP owners, I am looking for guidance on the benefits of upgrading the internal wiring on a PAP Trio 15 w/Voxatix 1.6 driver to the Silversmith Audio Fidelium cables and whether the benefits of the upgrade only really manifest themselves when the internal wiring upgrade is paired with the SA Fidelium speaker cables. The few comments on I have found on the PAP website laud the upgrade but I cannot tell whether the internal wiring was the only change made.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone that has experience with this upgrade or can guide me to post or review that addresses this issue.

The balance of my system consists of a PS Audio DirectStream DAC Mk.II, Auralic Ares G2.2 Streamer, PS Audio PerfectWave SACD Transport, PS Audio BHK Signature Preamp and PASS x250.8 amp.

Larry-

Thanks.  This is extremely helpful.  The system described is truly spectacular.  He really seemed to like the SA Fidelium internal wiring upgrade but was intended to use A23 speaker cables which suggests as you noted that the internal wiring upgrade will yield a benefit without also adding the matching speaker cables.

Again, thanks for running this down.

Thanks for this.  I will reach out to Anti-Cable in the am and also see if I can get a loaner set of Fidelium ribbons from PAP.

Thank you all for the tips: wiring upgrades, different Caps, L-Pads and the like.  Ideally I would like to listen to these upgrades in my system before I commit.  I think step one is ringing PAP to see if I can get a loaner on some of these upgrades.  

Stay tuned.

I am intrigued by the different wiring up grades.  My Trio15s shipped with Van de Hul CS 16 (red cable) and Van de Hul CS 12 (black cable) for the three runs between the cross over and the Voxatix AC 1.6 driver and each of the two 15 inch woofers.  I have corresponded with PAP about obtaining a loaner set of Silversmith Fidelium internal wires and it appears that they may have a set for in home trial.

I will post my impressions in the event that I receive the Fideliums..  

Thank you all again for the input and helpful suggestions.
