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'm a big fan of Audio Note UK. I have a pair of their E speakers, and their original Kit 1.1 DAC in my system. I hope to get more/better AN gear in the future.

I have never tried, or heard, their uber expensive silver ICs (Sogon, SOOTTO). However, in the last few days, I've been reading accounts by some who have experience with them. After adding the second set of GCs to my system, I was struck by the similarities between what they were describing, and what I was hearing in my system. Again, I have NO experience with these AN cables, and cannot make any direct comparison between them and the GCs. The thought that I might be getting even a tiny taste of what they can do, for the price of the GCs, is a pleasing one, though.

If anyone has/had an opportunity to compare Teo and Audio Note cables, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
