@bugredmachine ,
You made the comment no one is buying Fidelium because of the resistance. No, because until I raised the issue, I no one seemed to know. I took a look at your system. Nice speakers and electronics. You mentioned you had 11 foot, but likely meant 10. That is 1.8 ohms total resistance.
At 100 ohms, your speaker is near 2 ohms impedance and if I am reading this graph correctly, near 0 degrees phase. Your amplifiers potential power output at that frequency is reduce to only 27.8% of its potential value with a low resistance cable. The decrease in amplitude at 100Hz compared to 1.2KHz is 3.7db. This is all caused by the resistance of the cable.
I know tube amplifiers often have high output impedance so it is not shocking to me that this cable could be reviewed positively. Could this cable cause a solid state amplifier to have a tube like sound? Maybe this is another of the secret sauce for many to prefer tube amplifiers and many to not like them.
