Silversmith Audio Fidelium 6 years later, thoughts?

I think they are one the best buys in audio.

Synergy always plays a part in any system, so one guys "wow!" may be another’s "meh.". I don’t try to get caught up in measurements, because typically they are useless-I recall when researching these that one guy in some forum was overly concerned about how much more he had to turn his volume up to get the same sound pressure as his last speaker cables, so the resistance must be really high for the Fidelium’s, who cares! Just use your ears! I have used these on several different amplifiers, on 2 different sets of speakers 85db/2.83v/m and 98db/m, in 2 different rooms, and they sound exquisite in any permutation. 

They replaced well regarded cables costing twice what these retail for, and recently I picked up a set of very expensive cables from a highly regarded cable only manufacturer, used price for a 2m set is around 6K, and I am currently going back and forth to determine a preference- undecided. 

So yeah, absolutely they still hold their value 6 years later, and probably 10 years from now. I just wish they were more durable for their "connectors", because there are no connectors, although Jeff can re-terminate for a small fee. 

I see them being used at axpona, they sound good. Do they hold their value? I can’t answer that.

I was interested in their speaker cables but one thing that always bothered me was how beat up the connectors were on these cables. The connector and the cable are actually one piece. While specifications are not the only thing I'm concerned about they are important. Unfortunately this company doesn't publish anything related to DC resistance, inductance or capacitance. I like the flat wire concept and am also looking at Nordost cables who does publish measurement's. Hopefully I can try both cables soon. I've heard good things about these cables.

Silversmith Fidelium is still high value and will remain so. Unlike other components, audio cable innovations that make significant differences are rare, especially so in the <1k level.
