Teo XLR

I notice liquid cables are being talked about a bit at the moment so thought I'd share my experience.

I come from a somewhat cable sceptic background. After playing with modest cables I felt there were differences but it was all pretty subtle. The best I came across were Anti-cables which with everything I've seen seemed to offer slightly greater clarity. They've stayed in my system for the past 3 years as it's evolved.

I run an Emm Labs, Muse amp (very underrated)and Kharma speakers with just an XLR between the electronics. I was offered the opportunity to try a Teo XLR in an unfamiliar system a little while ago and was surprised at the difference it made so at the earliest opportunity I tried them in mine.

I've had them for over a week now and have been surprised at just how big a difference they've made. In a system that I've been very happy with the greater decay and body to notes is a revelation. They've added a more natural perspective that I didn't know I was missing. Very impressive.

Last but certainly not least; are they being built in a proper factory or someone’s garage and how do they sound

Why pay top dollar for a cable that is built in a garage/house when there are serious companies investing time and money into R&B

I bought a Dale Pitcher made AC cable running dac/transport and if you heard it you would piss your pants LOL.

It was made in his closet!!
A power bridge is in the middle of the cable and it has two cables coming out of it to run to components.

For the 4 or so that own these cable to praise the cable here on the Gon would fall on deaf ears.

Big factory and R&D reminds me of a company that has 3rd Generation quantum tunneling to enhance their cables. Ding ding.

Long live the closet builders!

Fiddler all I can say is “WOW”; “live and let live”. Sorry but I am no longer going to mention any makes or models of equipment I personally use, I would also like to apologize to Defride (the original post) and say I am sure this was not what you intended to happen from your original post.

Glory, I do agree with you that you can build a very good cable in the garage but what happens when your garage power cord starts a home fire? Is the second built cable exactly the same as the first cable and does it sound the same as the first cable you built? I have personally built some great sounding cables but they would not hold a candle to some of the top manufacturers. In my opinion there is another level of cabling that requires technology and that technology is what makes the difference from a very good cable too an emotional cable. Does the manufacturer and stores charge to much for this technology, “yes”.

Fiddler, according to your logic anyone who holds a strong opinion should either not register to post on the forums or they should not express those opinions if they do register. Because, ipso facto, what they say will be suspect.

I mean, what kind of convoluted thinking do we have here? What is this, the Audiogon roving thought police or a forum for open discussion? If you don't like someone's opinion. OK -- no problem. But if you are going to become the thought police then you open yourself up for the same treatment.

Sabai, anyone who holds a strong opinion can certainly post here, but if they are new, common sense often says based on experience, their posts may be suspect. Abuse in this and other forums supports the notion that many have posted here trying to sell their wares under the guise of simply wanting to tell everyone about their latest world-beater discovery.

You may not like the scrutiny in theory, but in reality it has merit in this and any other forum.
