Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!

I wrote an extremely long review of 4 cables auditioned in my system recently. I pontificated for way too long and it was more an outlet for me to tell a story that cables do matter and how much each design can make your system sound. The last cable through was the Teo GC IC purchased here and it truly was a game-changer in how it shifts our paradigm about what wire gives us as "truth" and what this slurry of Ga-In-Sn can do better (IMO). Not a technical review but an emotional roller coaster through 4 different topologies:

Ribbons
Graphene
Multi-strand
Liquid

I'm happy to re-broadcast that here but it is very long (6+ MSWord pages long). I'll point to it for now and take your advice.

Bottom line is the GC cable is truly stunning in what it can do and for us mere mortals who cannot spend thousands on cabling, I believe it can elevate anyone's system to new heights.

Hello,

The cables will not work with phono level signals, MC or MM. They are  unshielded.

One tends to experience considerable hum. (speaking politely).

The liquid metal is unlike solid metals, and this brings about some seemingly counter intuitive results, in some cases.

Does anyone think there might be long term longevity issues with these cables since they are a liquid conductor?  Would they be more susceptible to damage?

WCheng is also, One of my concern why Iam leaning toward HIgh Fidelity, this cables are both with stellar reviews, both company are nice, Ken and Rick are world class both humble.

The cable of the subject of this thread, the GC, in it’s design, is very robust. But like anything, it will break if mishandled. When I say mishandled, I mean mistreated. The very first cables made, almost 10 years ago, are still functional, and working. In use.

Ken thank you for the explanation...
