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.

@ lancelock

I'm currently auditioning a pair of Cerious Graphene Extremes. They are between a Coda CSIB Integrated (solid state) and an Oppo BDP-105D.

I also have a trio of Amadi Maddie Signatures with different RCAs (gold, solid silver and rhodium).

The Cerious GTs are the best of the group with my equipment and ears but the Amadi MS with the Gold RCAs is a close second. Personally, I think that the solid silvers and the rhodiums would be better suited for improving a Tube set up.

Anyway, could you please elaborate on why you find the Game Changers to be better than the Graphene Extremes? What equipment are you using them on?

I'm also tying out the Cerious Red Power cord with the Oppo. It has made a big improvement with the overall body of sound coming from the Oppo. 

Thank you

Arrows point to the power source. Imagine the sound flowing from the CDP, TT, etc to the power source. The arrows show the flow of the music from the source to the power to your speakers to your ears.

meambler,

others on this thread I believe have followed the same path and are perhaps better at describing the differences. I can say they are more natural and organic sounding and the difference was not subtle. I still think the Graohene Extremes cables are a Big Bang for the buck and the speaker cables are the best I've ever heard. That being said I've never heard Teo's SC's and probably can't afford them.

Glad these are working out for you guys. I need to buy the Splashes but am building a deck right now and it is sucking my cash supply down big time.

I moved on from the Cerious IC's pretty quickly. The Cerious SC's are fantastic for the price.
