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.

Sabai,

Get real. What do you use your cables for - calf roping!

I can't imagine any real world scenario that would cause one to worry about a cable rupturing. I don't know about you, but I gently plug my cables in and they just remain in that static state until I decide to gently move them again.

Chicken Little is now posting on the 'gon.

Fiddler,
If you read this thread carefully you will realize that I was referring to a concern voiced by Musicxyz concerning his children. Although this may seem extreme it is not beyond the realm of possibility that such an event could occur, IMO. Indeed, stranger things have indeed occurred with tragic consequences.

With all due respect, I feel you should put this matter in its very broadest context. We are talking about toxicity here. This product is, despite claims to the contrary, highly toxic.

Fiddler,
The potential problem here is that we are talking about a metal in the cable that is liquid at room temperature -- and that is also highly toxic. No other kind of cable that I am aware of poses this potential problem.

Fiddler,

That was a great read LOL.

Chocolate given to some dogs can kill them. Almost lost my Toy Fox Terrier when guests we had over allowed them to get into their chocolate.

No chocolate in my cables Please.

I should add that my Cerious Technologies cables, which had liquid in them, did leak. Fortunately, it was not toxic liquid. But from what I have seen, the Teos are very carefully made and shipped. Still, were I to have kids around, especially young ones, I would pause before getting the Teos.

Glory, do you find these cables "somewhat dark" as said in the 6Moons review? How is the holographic image?
