Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today


The story behind this goes like this. I bought new speakers in December and their placement forced me to stop using my Wireworld Gold Eclipse III bi wire cables because they were too short. So for an interim cable I found a 2 meter pair of the "Regular" Eclipse III wires used being that I wanted to keep it in the "Family." My  entire loom for the most part is Wireworld Gold Eclipse III interconnects.  The Reg Eclipse III seemed fine but I alway felt I was missing something I was used to before, like it was just a little veiled comparatively. I've researched the hell out of cables and was just going to get a set of the New Eclipse 8's but when they raised the price for a 2M pair another $500 to $2000 I decided to look elsewhere, scouring used cables for months.  Well through that process I discovered the many threads and positive reviews on the Silversmiths, so since they were more like what  I was hopefully  willing to spend I ordered a 6 foot set. Today I placed them into my system and after about one minute into the track I was astonished! I couldn't move from my chair, I listened to the entire album in astonishment. They literally "fixed" my system, it's never ever sounded this good. It's only been a few hours so i won't go into everything that happened right now but new cables are not  supposed to sound this good straight out of the box. I am lucky. they blend with my system right away. The Bass was so immediately impactful I just cannot believe a cable can make this much change, the inner detail and transparency, wow! I know these things have been raked over the coals in these forums and their are some that are naysayers, but in my case I was one of the lucky ones because these babies are not going back to Chris!  I cannot stop listening, it's amazing.

I had an inexpensive tri wire 5 foot set of Van Damme cables for two years causing me to bend each time I had to play an LP but they were decent in many respects. I needed to move to 6 footers and tried a half dozen biwire sets from Audioquest, Allnic and Cardas between 3K and 8K a set. Each set while smoothing out the response seemed to veil the mids and higher frequencies. A friend suggested Fidelium and I tried a bi wire set of 6 footers with no expectations and they simply resolved all of the issues of the Van Damme with no apparent veiling. I then added another run for true bi wire and they improved further. They are different, however, once you have them installed with the contact area placed correctly and locked down they stay put.

I would not do a demo without including Fidelium. They are that good.
