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.
