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.

waltersalas (& anyone else who upgraded to the Game Changers from the Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme ICs)

Please describe the improvements you heard going from the CTs to the GCs.

Thanks

Does anyone know if this cable would work well between my turntable and phono stage? I'm using the AT Art9 MC cart and am currently using a audioquest RCA phono cable.

@tommylion -- As I said previously, the CT Graphenes are very good interconnects and I could have lived happily with them---until I heard the Teo Game Changers, which just give a much clearer picture of the music than I have experienced with any other interconnect. The detail, air around the instruments, texture, and impact (especially in the bass) is uncanny. In my system, the Teo cables are truly special. Several others here seem to be having a similar experience.

@lancelock -- I am still waiting on my second pair of Game Changers, which are en route and expected on Friday. They will be installed between my integrated and phono stage, but I can then experiment with my second pair between the phono stage and turntable. I will report back when I have enough time to get a handle on how they sound in this application.

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.
