New silversmith fidelium cable

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.

I’m evaluating a pair now. Jury is out but I am remaining unbiased and giving them a good run with various IC cabling combinations. Drastically different than my Cerious Graphene Matrix SC’s.

And I forgot to mention I am a believer in Jeff and his approach. As an engineer I am humbled by his technical chops.

Hi All.  I wanted to report on my impressions of the Fidelium speaker cables, which I had the pleasure of auditioning in my system and am purchasing a 6' pair.  Up until now, I've been using Cerious Technologies Extreme Graphene cables, which replaced Wireworld platinums, which replaced Clear Day double shotguns, which replaced some lower level Purist cables. My system includes Avalon Eidelon Diamond speakers, VAC electronics, a PS Audio direct stream DAC fed by Roon, and other excellent cables and tweaks.

While the Cerious cables were the best I had had in my system to date (except for a short-term loan of some $30k Nordost cables that I could never afford!), the Fidelium's clearly bested the Cerious and (by inference) all before them.  While the Cerious cables provided a big and bold sound, swapping in the Fideliums showed me that there were micro details, textures and colors that were not getting through the prior bold presentation.  Not that there was anything wrong with the Cerious - they are great - but I found more to be appreciated with the Fideliums.  The Fideliums had a more natural and organic presentation, removed some mid-base bloat, and maintained excellent sound staging and imaging.  

I had two friends come over and A/B with me to share impressions - one a reviewer, the other a female who has good hearing, no audiophile tendencies, and was willing to humor me on the experiment.  Both had the same impressions, so "3 for 3".  This, of course, led me to purchase the Fideliums.  From my perspective, they are an awesome deal in terms of bang for the buck.  My former cables were all in the $500 - $1200 price range, and these outperform them all.

I meant to say that my prior cables were in the $500 - $2200 price range.  Also, I should say that the Fideliums removed some "mid bass bump", not "mid bass bloat". Couldn't edit the above...
