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 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.

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. 

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.

As for any 30 day trial periods, that does not begin until you sign for the parcel, at delivery. Even then it is not a strict number. Generally, you’ll know within minutes of when you install the cables and hear a few notes. We are running at an approximate 3% return rate.

However I think this technology is moving at such a pace - if you wait 6 months there's a totally new approach.

I'm with you @janehamble and why I went the Mac mini with dedicated linear power supply route and couldn't be happier. System will be great for years and years to come as it just serves up the audio stream to a nice Meitner DAC. Bliss.

Yep, my MBP with Recovery and decent USB cables sounds pretty good, to my ears.  I suspect the gap between what I've got and servers like Melco is not so dramatic - one day I'll confirm that.  Meanwhile, I've jumped in line for GC's and can't wait to get them plugged in, replacing my not-bad Morrow MA4's.  I'll be able to give you all a report of their performance with mid-fi electronics LOL
