The Fideliums improved significantly on the sonics of my previous longstanding cables. One thing that really stood out was the “ease” of their presentation without compromising resolution in any way. They have great clarity, presence, and dimensionality. They are also dead quiet.
I commented on a revelation that I had one evening recently. It was almost like my system previously had a subtle “Loudness” switch engaged. There was a touch too much top end (with associated harshness), and a bit of bloat near the bottom. Midrange, including vocals, were slightly recessed. The Fideliums turned that Loudness switch off. Things instantly became perfectly balanced.
Kudos once again on the design of these cables. You have a fan!
