Thanks,

Sezai, is this okay with you?

Well, I am not in a hurry.

We can also send it to a third party (if there is another auditioner in the line) in the interim period, till Hugh returns home...

Warmest regards.

Unfortunately they are already on the way to Hugh, I just found out about this. Hugh, would you have a chance to send them on before you leave the country?

Hugh · « **Reply #44 on:** 21 Jun 2008, 02:53 pm »

Art,
All this talk about cables has me interested. Changed around my 2-channel system several months ago using both Tendon and Blue Jeans cable. Is it too late to be included in the tour?

arthurs · « **Reply #50 on:** 22 Jun 2008, 04:30 pm »

Let me talk to Sezai about this Ron, they are in California right now for the next couple of weeks (our tour expanded outside of Texas) and it will be up to him if he extends the time to have them sent back out here.

Hugh · « **Reply #51 on:** 25 Jun 2008, 01:33 am »

I received the cables today.

I'll give them a spin this weekend then report back.

arthurs · « **Reply #52 on:** 26 Jun 2008, 07:47 pm »

Sounds great Hugh!

Ron, I sent you a PM, I need your info.

Hugh · « **Reply #53 on:** 3 Jul 2008, 01:57 pm »

Ron,

The cables are on their way to you to day.

Enjoy.

I received the cables a few days ago but due to my schedule, I didn't have a chance to listen to them until last evening.

My setup consists of:

Joule Electra VZN-100 Monos.
Melody P1688 Sig. Pre
Lector CDP-7TL/MKIII
BPT SC-6L Speaker Cables
Onix Grand Master II ICs.
Kimber Select 1010 ICs.
Strata Mini Speakers (Mod.).
Various custom Power Cables.

First off, the Lector CDP got only 2 hours of play time prior to last night so the actual SQ is not optimal yet.
Nevertheless, I much prefer the Lector SQ (even at unbroken in) over the CEC TL51XR which I still have but will be gone soon.
The sound is more lush, liquid, more details than the CEC.

The cables, as others already noted, come in a very nice package and the cables themselves are not bad to look at either.
I connected the cables just as stated somewhere in this thread.

Prior to connect the SilverFi, I listened to my own cables for a few songs to familiarize myself once again to the Lector SQ.
Then I proceeded to listen to one of my favorite cds, Best Audiophile Voices I (XRCD), with the SilverFi.

At first sound, the SilverFi seemed to produce a more refined and somewhat smoother sound.
After a while, I realized the SilverFi midrange is a tad tighter overall.
However, the highs, while is still good, got a little loose (not harsh but not real tight either).
The bass is not as tight as my cables.

Please note that I had only listened to the SilverFi for less than 2 hours so my finding may or may not be totally accurate.
I wish I had more time so I could connect my Stereovox Firebird speaker cables to find out what a full silver setup would do.

So, to sum it up, in comparison to my reference cables, I found my cables to be:
1) High is more controlled and extended.
2) Soundstage is wider.
3) Midrange is a tad less refined.
4) Bass is tighter and punchier.

The SilverFi is a great combination but I just prefer the overall SQ presentation & synergy of my cables in my setup.

Also, I think the SilverFi would shine much more in a SS setup.

Thanks for a great opportunity.

Thank YOU SA

Hi All,

Just to inform you that Jules Coleman of Superior Audio e-mag. (enjoythemusic.com), a highly sophisticated reviewer conveyed his concise assessment of SilverFi Cable, while describing his audio system. He also has another valuable recent `think piece` article on audio reviewing on the same link.
Regards.
