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.

I find the only thing toxic is that you are not allowed to have an absolute opinion on these forums. How do we not know if you are the owner of TEO cables? I bought my cables directly from the manufacturer in Italy and I prefer the HiiDiamond cables over many other brands but I have stated very clearly that there are also several other very good cables on the market. I would be an idiot to think that there was only 1 great cable available! When you have tested as many cables as I have over a 30 year period with a proper scoring system than I will listen to your opinion and even respect your opinion but seriously weight/body; did you buy them to equalize your system?

Wow pride comes before a fall my friend.

30 years of your testing to my little 30 days is a battle I can not win. You far more superior than I and will bow out of this thread.

So you are King for the day.

Enjoy

Musicxyz, I know for a fact that Glory owns the Teo Audio cables, so your suggestion that he doesn't is off base.
I bought my cables directly from the manufacturer in Italy
Teo Audio has always been in Canada, and you should know that, given your relationship with the former Canadian distributor. So how do you explain what you said? And without details on exactly what cables you claim to have purchased, there is no way of knowing what if anything you did.

All it sounds like is an unsubstantiated assertion you keep repeating ad nauseum to add credibility to what you say.

Read it much closer; I bought the HiDiamond cables from the manufacturer in Italy and I bought the TEO cables from the manufacturer in Canada. There are a ton of people that make a ton of statements on these forums but the minute someone doesn’t agree with someone else then there is a problem. You can believe what you want and I am cool with that but really, natural, organic, weight and body, it sounds like he bought a shampoo. In my opinion the best cables don’t add anything to an already great sounding system but they will increase the top end resolution and define the soundstage. Truthfully my opinion is just another opinion among the 1000 different opinions but we really do have a structured system to base our opinions on, so I do trust our scoring system especially when 6 out of 6 guys have the exact same opinion.

Musicxyz, given your logic, I agree and would add that the six of you are irrelevant to me.

Realism is what I hear with the Exemplar Silver Portals. It is quite thrilling to be at the recording venue.
