Hearing from a few people who've been able to audition Raven vs. Audio Envy would be very interesting.
Raven Audio SC
I received my pair of these speaker cables today and they’re a lot better than I expected. Very neutral and lots of detail, good decay, good bass detail (more mid-bass/bass detail than my AE NV-SP9s tbh), a little blooming but they’ve only been running for a few hours.
Out of curiosity, has anyone else tried these and been disappointed or liked another brand’s sc better that they’d recommend? Let’s say nothing past $1500.

I definitely like audio envy sp9s, but for my taste found them a bit lacking in bass/bass details. Great highs and mids though - I think they’re solid. Raven soniquils seem to also be a neutral and quiet cable but able to retrieve more detail across the spectrum. In my opinion. I’ve got a long list of cables to try from Silnote, Tellurium, Wire World, anti-cables, and Audio Art so if anyone else has opinions of how the Ravens have stacked up to their other cables, I’m all ears. |
@cd45123, you might want to take a look and listen to the new: FIDELIUM CABLES AN EVOLUTIONARY AND REVOLUTIONARY BREAKTHROUGH IN CABLE DESIGN
Derived exclusively from electro-magnetic wave equations, Silversmith Audio's FIDELIUM speaker cables reflect our design philosophy in its purest form: A single, ultra-thin ribbon conductor per polarity; seamless from end to end and without traditional, sound-degrading soldered, welded, or crimped connectors; and individually laminated in an extremely thin, yet rugged, polyimide film in order to achieve a geometry with a primarily air dielectric. AN EVOLUTIONARY BREAKTHROUGH! The skin-effect characteristics of our state-of-the-art FIDELIUM alloy are up to 33 times superior to those of copper or silver. The FIDELIUM speaker cable, already at less than a thousandth of an inch thick, performs as if it were 5.5 times thinner, thus experiencing less frequency dependent attenuation and phase distortion than even a .00018 inch thick copper or silver ribbon or 64 gauge wire. A REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE! Geometry and alloy advancements contribute to the new FIDELIUM cable’s 330% performance improvement over our previous top-of-the-line PALLADIUM, yet FIDELIUM is only 1/10 the price. It is also less than half the price of our original SILVER speaker cable line. A complete stereo set of FIDELIUM speaker cable is available in lengths and prices from 4ft at $795 to 10ft at $1395. Each FIDELIUM cable is 2.25 inches wide. The conductive surface is a .75 inch square with a .25 inch wide notch compatible with most binding posts. FIDELIUM RCA and XLR interconnect cables are also planned. |
