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.

Do we get a tracking number once the cables ship? I'd really like one,since packages have been stolen in my neighborhood recently.

One receives a tracking number and a signature is required for delivery.

I have over 225 hours on the Splash.  Things have really improved.  I mentioned earlier the Duelunds were warmer, fuller, and yet still lively.  The Splash has narrowed the gap in those areas, but is more clear, open, and definitely has a more a extended and pronounced bass.  Stage is bigger with the Splash.  On good to great recordings the Splash tends to scale up better than the Duelunds.  Man, the good recordings sound fantastic with the Splash.  On hot recordings or hard sounding recordings, it is close but I still prefer the two Duelunds.  The Splash is a bit drier, perhaps because it is more clear if that makes any sense.  The two Duelunds in the system are nice, very nice, there is definitely synergy with two of them in the system together.   Now I want to see how having two Teo IC's in the system play together.   For the record I had the Splash connected from the DAC to the Pre and the one Duelund from the pre to the amp.  When the GC gets here on Monday I will probably just leave the Splash where it is and connect the GC to the between the. pre and amp.

Well tomorrow will be 9 business days since I ordered. Also, no replies to my email or my messages through the Audiogon system.

Come on, this is terrible!  You've got to get better than this!
