FIM silver speaker cables

Cantor, I have to concur with Jctubes. While I can't endorse FIM cables (because I haven't listened) there are a lot of cables that I would suggest. As always they are dependant on preference. I'd start with Acoustic Zen, Goertz (copper or silver - silver for mids/high). I have also heard great things about Stealth (silver ribbons), Silversmith and strangely enough Mapleshade - though I don't know if the MS would be up to the challenge. Each of the other cables I suggested are recognized for their honest delivery and open-ness. They won't candy coat anything. I suppose it all depends on what sound you are after. Cheers

I should add that I am also a big believer in high quality cables and have the FIM gold for my speakers at home. I was mainly interested in finding out how the silver compares for use in my NY apartment. Thanks for the general advice though.

i have had on audition for the past 2 weeks a pair of fim silver cables, connecting avalon eidolons to a jrdg 8ti. i am also trying matching power cords on the amp and my accuphase dc 330 pre/dac. the cables are a revelation. they do everything they are touted to do: widening and deepening the sound stage, providing superb detail, tightening and extending the bass and making vocals so life-like they're spooky. i'm almost afraid to try the gold version. i haven't reached any definite conclusions on the pc's yet but i'll be buying one set or another of fim's cables to replace my cardas neutral reference.

I thought someone had posted awhile back that the construction quality of the FIM cables was, shall we say, less than rigorous? Not true? Just curious, not trolling...

dkuipers: i find nothing objectionable about the "construction quailty" of fim cables. they are somewhat similar to the tara "the one" in constuction, tho the fim stuff is MUCH stiffer. i recommend having two people install the speaker cables to avoid any damage to terminals. once you getem' "pre-bent," they install relatively easily.
