Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!

Hi teo_audio,
is there still a 7-9 days waiting period for the GC's? What is the recommended break-in time once received?

Am currently demoing a few cables but am afraid the 30-day return policy may expire on those if the GC's take more than a couple of weeks. 

Thanks...

can't exactly answer for Teo, but I ordered the Splash on April 7th and the GC on April 10th and none of my orders have shipped yet.  But I think it may be shorter now depending on if they have all of the supplies and parts they need.  

I received my GC ic's the other day, after reading about them on this site.
Here are my quick thoughts. I have HFC ultimates thru-out my set-up, so I wasn't expecting to much.

I put them between my preamp and amps. Stone cold they sounded really good. 
I had 2 friends over and we agreed that they are excellent sounding. The tonal balance was very similar to my Ultimates, I was surprised by that and impressed.
 
They are very smooth and natural sounding with great tone and openness.
The million dollar question, did they dethrone my much more expensive ic's? No, the HFC ultimates are faster, have more detail, and image better, but the GC are great and not only for the money.

They are so organic and natural sounding. The imaging is a little diffused not as pinpiont as the HFC. They probably are more accurate because at live shows you really don't get such sharp imaging. 

I probably will return them and try there higher end models. IMHO, I think mixing the HFC cables and Teo's cables is the perfect combination. All Teo's might be a little to relaxed sounding.

For the price, I think the name is fitting. ;)

BRM, thanks for bringing these fine cables to everybody's attention.
Don't have audio nervosa with your SC, keep them they are excellent. I had the HFC Ultimate SC's and like the CT extreme graphene better IMS.

I forgot to mention IMO, the Teo cables would work wonders in an all solid state system or a system that leans a little to the bright side.

Yours is the oldest unserved order in the system. And the parts to finish it are finally landing today. Which is a good thing...

We're setting up new adverts to say '9 business days' before the ship date as we are trying to slow the orders down a bit. Just so we can catch up. Which we are getting to (speeding up, that is).

We are also moving to a new facility, which complicates matters. Apologies for the minor slips in delivery/ship dates.
