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.

hopefully we will see some more reviews coming in.  I have about 150 hours on the Splash IC but don't want to comment further on the sound until the GCs get here, which should be tomorrow (May 12) and get some hours under them. 

Teo, I would be conservative on what you tell people.  Your ad said 9 business days when I ordered the GC, but it was 32 days total.

I have a broken hand/wrist that I over-estimated the condition of the healing, when this order thing started to take off. I was forced to slow it down, against my will. The alternative was to damage my hand/wrist even more than it already is (from my being ’attacked’ by a car in a parking lot), by ignoring the inflammation created by over-working it. I was going to mention that in my earlier post, but decided against it.

Additionally, your GC was purposely put on the back-burner, as your splash Rs was moved to get to you as soon as possible (as an earlier order). So the 32 days is unrealistically high and you are the only one who has experienced such an extreme delay, on that second cable.

Be it known, though, that the cables, cutting edge physics and sound quality as they may be.....they are just an opening act.

We have more. Much more. Technology that is, overall, at least 20 years long in development. More on that at a later date.

Ordered mine on 4/24, so that makes it around 17 days and counting.  Called Ken today... sorry to bug you again Ken :-)....they should be leaving early next week.  So I should see them, maybe, around day 24....

All I can say is get well soon Ken.  Sorry to hear about the broken wrist.  Don't worry so much about pitching your future products.  Stay in touch with your customers.  And don't over-promise anything.
