New silversmith fidelium cable

I took the plunge and ordered a pair over the weekend. Will report back

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if there's a "break-in period", a stabilization period to be expected?

Thank you
Gipe

I asked Jeffrey Smith about break-in, and he said that he hasn't experienced and did not expect any improvements with break-in;  however, he did say that some customers did experience positive effects.  I have had one pair (just received a second pair for biwiring) for about 3 weeks and don't think I've heard any changes.  

I must say that these are the best cables I've ever used and by a considerable margin.  Highly recommend trying them...you can return them within 30 days for a refund if you don't like them.

IMO: The Fidelium speaker cables are definitely worth the price of admission.
Will probably try the interconnects when they become available.

Hello, everybody.

Thank you for your general impression but I would be interested to have more details about your feelings if possible.

Indeed, I have owned a pair of Fidelium cables for about 1 month.

I acquired them by looking at the few words on this forum as well as by intuition because it seemed to me that something interesting could come out of it.

As far as I am concerned, I found the quality suggested here.

Once installed, at the first listening, I would say that the key word is openness.

You get the feeling of a wide open sound stage, redeployed with a more perceptible separation of the instruments.

In this new space, we find a great richness of tonalities with an unusual presence of the instruments as well as a frank separation.

In my case, this is particularly noticeable on the Jazz drums which leave the back of the stage to come closer with percussion and cymbals better highlighted on my Harbeth SHL5 + speakers.


The sound in general is very beautiful, rich in details, the treble goes high and is "clean".

I was reading on a site a tester who said "when you find yourself tapping your foot, moving while listening without realizing that it's somewhere that the cable is good". That's what happened to me.

I think there is indeed something exceptional about these cables that deserves to be further explored and confronted on various systems and by various people.
