2. cables

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.

Exactly, I was skeptical at first, it was cheap i purchased in 2020, Tried it against all my cables,

Found i like it better than the more costly ones. Forum seem to attract guys that have no experience and complain about pricing all day.

Then when they are blessed with a cable that can outperform 20K Silver Cables they go on and complain and become negative. You just cant satisfy everyone. Regardless.

 

I run, OTL, SET and Solid State, the Fids have performed at a higher degree than my copper or silver cables at a fraction of the price. Nothing more can be said you either try it and stop being a cheap ass or shut up and go to sleep.

I didn’t see anyone complaining about price. I saw you putting down people though. Your lack of understanding is not a fault in other people.

@deludedaudiophile   Do you have any sound reason for why so many people like these? Any science behind it or are we mad, delusional or deaf? Are we wrong in your opinion? You are dead set against these cables because you have calculations, reasons as to why they are bad. I just wonder what would happen if you auditioned a pair? Jeffrey will be happy to take them back, and you can verify your findings for yourself. Just wondering, Thanks.

@deludedaudiophile   ..... I just wonder what would happen if you auditioned a pair?

You are asking him too much. I have a very strong feeling this has nothing to do with auditioning or listening. For him to do what you asked him to do would require 1) he owns a pair of speakers to hook up cables to, and 2) any interest in trying speaker cables, or any wire for that matter. I'd love to be proven wrong on this, by him posting what his current audio system consists of. He has refused to disclose his audio chain in all his previous 11-12 (now banned) usernames.

 

Good luck getting to the bottom of this.

Oh great, the strange obsessed conspiracy theory guy is back. Happy Friday everyone. Would it make you happier if I asked the engineers at work if they have something close to a 1.8 ohm resistor of suitable size that I could add to my speaker cables? I doubt it would, though it would sound exactly like this cable.
