Siltech says TMR sold me a fake cable but I want to believe TMR

Call The Cable Companyhttps://share.google/naibR6oJDKarXvzDx

or anybody else that you can find to be a distributor. That is definitely a cable that Would be a target for being a Fugazi.

As an insurance use their lending library to A/B. Even the most inexperienced can usually see quality issues. 

Maybe the fake will sound better than the original snake oil….wrap your head around that for a while….

….,,I always enjoy the responses from the usual cable haters . That must get old and as you will see their responses are just annoying as well as senseless. I always will note that if you had a high resolution system you just might hear a difference. 
Now on to Siltech ……did the cable include a Certificate of Authenticity? Never buy Siltech cables without them . Also , the box will give you the distributor ‘s name which is another source you can call to check on the authenticity of the cable . I know this after the fact but these should have checked out before purchasing . 

……. I think a read on this thread that Siltech may just being saying that they are fake just to sell you another cable . What a stupid statement  and waste of time to even say that . Wow

Well cable took a while to settle in. I was worried at first. Plugging into amp and I was greeted with a nice amount of bass. And larger things than normal. But was kind of basic silver timbre with a bit of blandness.  Definitely wasn’t warmed up but could tell it wasn’t the spot for the cable. Plugged into my dac. This is where I actually planned to use the cable and purchased for here. My hope was to add a little texture and tone.  Wanted a little extra warmth in the bass. Well cabled wasn’t quite warmed up but was opening up. I gave it time. Imaging was all over the place and wasn’t nearly as detailed as I’d hoped 

My best cable is a furutech project v1. I have used this in my amp exclusively.  The effortlessness and quietness it brings to the table with humungous imaging is awesome. But I’ve found lately that I actually prefer it in my dac because it is so quiet and detailed. If you lose it here you’re never getting it back. Dacs and streamers are very sensitive between the clocks and conversions. You need silence here and the furutech shielding and dampening is the best I’ve encountered so far and gives incredible dynamic range allowing for greater insight  

so I plugged the siltech into my wells audio commander pre.  I knew immediately this was the spot for it. The cable opened up and all the resolution and solidity of imaging was there. A little soft due to not being a cryo cable but had all the lack of distortion and detail a cryo cable usually brings.  Sometimes a silver cable this soft can be fuzzy around the edges but not here.  
Cables with air dialectic tend to not have a black background the way cables that aren’t air do.  I’m more of a fan of the black background but I also feel that air brings better texture and more natural timbres.  When the siltech was in the amp I noticed what sounded like air instead of black background.  Once the cable was behind a furutech, its air background no longer existed and became black  the furutechs tend to do this and also mask timbral colors and make everything black  not my favorite thing but the furutech offer so much in other areas that I just deal with it  

what got me was that the siltech slightly allowed different timbres to come through the furutech but what it did do that I love about it was add thick ass texture.  Like an oil painting instead of water painting. 
the downside is I still find a blandness in the cable that kind of distracts from the overall musicality.  I think maybe it’s their “kapton”. Almost like the sound of shrink tubing yet clear. Maybe because it’s an old cable the dialectic is drying out or the furutech plug isn’t NCF and I’m hearing more of the connector material.  

either way, pretty sure it’s authentic based off its performance
