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.

Strange company and one I would most likely not want to do business with. Very poor way to handle this rather simple situation. I can only imagine what may happen in a more complex matter. A tad strange is all I can say and remain above the line.

bumperdoo,

My expectations were what I was originally told. That is; it will take 5-9 business days to ship. It has been 9-10 business days since that. While I was waiting for shipment notification, Teo posts that they have now shortened the wait time down to 4-5 days. I called them, I emailed, I even sent a message through the Audiogon system. With NO response! This forum was the only place left to try to get there attention.

And when I did post my frustration they cancelled my order!

*sigh*

I give up - it's a boutique company that *hand builds* cables per order. It should not be any mystery that they are back-logged if you read through the thread and no mystery that they don't spend their time answering questions online.

By my math, they were still within the 9 days promised when you told them it was unacceptable - in their shoes, I would have done the same and moved on to clients who are appropriate for boutique-type products and re-imbursed your money.

As for the 4 to 5 days - you need to read what was written, that was their goal but current listings are very very clear... "(Note: there is an approximate 6-8 business day period before shipping, as these are made to order, and there is a backorder list, at this time)"

Enjoy the Cerious and High Fidelity cables buddy...

ozzy,

I can understand your frustration, I am patiently (sort of) waiting for my second set of GCs. In my case, I know they are worth the wait. The GE ICs are really good sounding cables, and I was very happy with them. The GCs clearly bettered them, though, and the difference is not subtle.

I wouldn’t let this bump in the road keep you from trying the GCs in your system; they really are as special as people here have said.
