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 can say they are more natural and organic sounding and the difference was not subtle."

That's a pretty good description of what I'm hearing GC vs. GE, as well.

I am also very happy with my other GE cables (digital, power), and am planning on getting SCs ...unless I win the lottery and can afford the Teos 😉

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.


I was wondering why I did not hear from you. (after I sent you the Splash Rs pricing)

I guess you are in deep the misery of spacers, trying to get the end cut right, cement corner post leveling, crying to the heavens about bad crooked but ridiculously expensive boards, worn out shaky triceps, sore necks, and bad fitting knee pads.

Why are you building a deck? You'll never leave your stereo once you get the Teo ICs in your system... they are that good!!!

He planned that project perfectly! It is hard to get any projects around the house done when you're glued to your listening chair marveling and scratching your head on how these Teo cables perform the way that they do...

Still thinking about the Game Changers and wondering what would be the best upgrade for my system.  Should I replace my MacBook Pro with a Melco server/NAS, or would the better investment be to replace my Morrow MA4's with the GC's.  I acknowledge this is kind of an apples vs bananas question, but at the end of the day I'm trying to figure out which would have the bigger impact on SQ .  There's certainly a cost difference in each choice but Melco's are now commonly available for around $1300 so the gap is not so wide.  In any case, which would be the bigger step forward do you think?
