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.

AFAIK, the game-changer line of IC's are being sold direct here on Audiogon. Simple search should bring them up.
@t_ramey , thanks.
Yes, I've seen the ads for sale in the marketplace.

I was just wondering if the cables are anything different from what they have posted on their website. 
On the website, all they reference is liquid audio cables.

I'm guessing the "Game-Changer" is so new that they do not even have it on their website yet. Maybe still in beta mode?
This is the first instance I've seen the game changer mentioned which was last June. A few guys share their experience with the cables compared to some high dollar sets and then also guys wanting to know the science behind it. I found it interesting...

Teo Audio is located in my city (Kingston, ON). Ken Hotte is a straight up guy who is incredibly knowledgeable and, more importantly, very curious. He’s also a very nice guy, to boot!

I first tried his Game Changer IC last year, figuring I couldn’t go wrong with his money back guarantee. Prior to trying Tea Audio's cables, the most I had ever spent on a cable was $250. So this was a big upgrade for me. 

I was blown away by the difference his IC’s made. I would echo bugredmachine’s review comments. Since then I have added another pair to my system.

FWIW, my system consists of:

Amp: Golden Tube Audio SE-40 Special Edition monoblocks (modded)
Pre: Don Sachs custom 6SN7
Turntable: Roksan Xerxes
Tonearm: Rega RB300 (w/Incognito wire, Audio Origami SOFC external cable, Michell technoweight)
Phono Cartridge: Decca London Super Gold
Phono Stage: Croft RIAA
CD/SACD: Esoteric DV-50S
DAC: Teac UD-501
Digital: Asus VivoPC (headless PC running JRiver MC21)
Speakers: Martin Logan Spire
Speaker Cable: Grant Fidelity SPC-2.5 5n Copper
