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'd like to preface my thread with ( I've been in this hobby for 40 plus years) and have auditioned and owned more cables than I can remember. The Teo std. IC's are the "best" cables I have ever heard in my system. Period...Simply the most natural, linear, dynamic, organic, grain-free, unetched, micro and macro enhanced, distortion less, incredible depth of image and width of soundstage IC's I know of. Wish I could afford the speaker cables!

Powder,

I 2nd your thoughts on the Teo STD IC. When you hear them all this toxic stuff seems silly.

Powder and Glory, thank you both for getting this thread back to the topic. Can you please say more about with which cables you compared them with.

Tbg,
With all due respect, the topic is entitled "Teo XLR". Some posters may not like the turn that the topic took with my posts but all my comments were related to Teo cables so they cannot be considered off topic -- just off the track that was desired by some posters. As I stated earlier, I believe it is clear that the commercial agenda is playing very strongly here. Furthermore, I note that my points have yet to be answered -- let alone rebutted.

Tbg: I have been listening to "cables" since about '82 when discrete tech. And FMS were some of the better lines. From then many lines have graced my systems-each was a step up in performance. I personally think naming those lines would be a disservice to those manufacturers. However, for many years I stayed with the intuitive design cables by dale pitcher. These bested all others in my system until I heard the Teo liquid IC's. They are shocking in their musicality and listen ability. ( I know I used a lot of adjectives to describe the Teo's in the previous thread). That was not an over the top thread- the Teo's are that good. You have a great system as the Diaceras are one of my personal favorite speakers. Try the Teo IC's-I think you will have a new reference.
