First impressions: Silversmith Fidelium interconnects


I ordered two pairs of Silversmith Fidelium interconnects (from DAC to preamp and from preamp to power amps). I had a feeling the Silversmith would be good as I had already replaced my Clear Beyond speaker cables with the Fidelium speaker cables to great effect.

 

What can I say.... Jeff Smith must be some kind of cable whisperer! Not only did the interconnects clearly improve on pretty much everything from the first second, but after a few days, they absolutely destroyed anything and everything I have ever tried (and that includes the very expensive but amazing Clear Beyond interconnects). Somehow, the Fidelium interconnects added space to the performance in a very natural way; drive and tempo, but more than anything else heart and soul. Color me impressed!!!!

 

This must be the steal of the century... I have no idea how Jeff can (or want to) sell these cables for less than $1000 a meter... But who am I to argue with the cable whisperer?!

Interesting. I use Fidelium speaker cables and I'm very happy with them. 

Not sure I'm up to spending $2k on interconnects.  I've spent too much already. 

It's always so very incredible to find something out there that works so amazingly well in ones system for such reasonable prices!!!  Congratulations!!!

@audiojan what do the interconnects look like?  Does he use the same material used for the Fidelium speaker cables? 

@sls883  Here’s a user review of the interconnects I found when I was looking for them after reading this thread, and it includes pictures.

@soix thank you.

What the review says is believable to me because I felt the same when I auditioned the Fidelium speaker cables. I had been using decent cables by Synergistic Research so I hadn't expected to hear much difference.
