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.

I am still using the Graphene speaker cables and searching for something better. The Teo's were significantly better than the Graphene IC's. I preferred the Morrows over the Graphene IC's. Read through the AC post linked at top. My Triniums from Audio Magic are for sale cheap right here.

If I could swing the Teo speaker cables I would.
Good enough bugred, that's my impression that Teo will be my first choice to audition, then HF n CT  maybe last because Bob too busy to send you one faster than HF, Yes I did read you post at AC.  Thanks 

As a matter of fact, I received the Teo cables two days ago and have been trying to pin down my impressions. Ken says that the cables will continue to break in for another 80-90 hours or so before they reach their full potential, but I will say that they are already--right out of the box--truly incredible.

I cannot improve very much on what bugredmachine has already said, except to echo his observations about the almost surreal clarity of these cables, along with the sense of dimension, texture, and impact. Give me a few more days with them to be more specific, but let's just say that I have already placed my order for a second pair.

The oldest cliche in high end is that something makes all your recordings sound new and different, but that is just how this feels to me. Like recordings I have known most of my life have been remastered, revealing nuances I have never heard before. For example, I have heard Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" about ten thousand times over the past 35 years or more, but with the Teos installed I was struck immediately by how easy it was to pick out individual instruments in the lead track, "Second Hand News."

I know this sounds like typical audio hyperbole, and I do want more time with them before coming to any definite conclusions. But so far, color me impressed.


I knew I wasn't losing my mind!!!

I am happy these are making you happy. I really want the SC's but at $11k for the shortest set I need a raise. 😃

I am very curious if the HFC SC's would work well. I have some mono blocks coming today and a shorter set of SC's would be helpful. I do love me Cerious speaker cables but am paranoid!
