Thanks Klinerm, for your kindness and willingness to try something very new and different, and for your courage to speak out publicly about how wonderful Teo Audio Liquid Cables are! We appreciate it! Oh, yeah, I'm the worldwide point of contact for the product...I'm a bit partial :>)
Briankurtz (Answers) Brian, next time you travel this way please consider coming by for music. You can just listen or if you have XLR or RCA cables for demo, bring them along. If travel brings you on a Tuesday, the whole gang is here for you to meet. I miss the days when you lived here, it was good seeing you at the Canada show. |
Essentialaudio, I have kind of dropped out of this thread. I meant no offense about the statement that I repeated from Cerious Technology.
Might I ask about the resistance of these cables. Years ago I had the carbon cables and found I had "ground loop" problems because of their resistance. I now have to lift all ac grounds except that to my H-Cat line stage to get the maximum benefit from it, so I should have no such problems with high resistance cabling. |
Norm (Tbg), I do not have resistance measurements, but we're talking about a liquid metal, not liquid ceramic (Cerious) or carbon (vdH), and I have not seen or heard anything to indicate the resistance is significantly different from, say, interconnects using solid-phase metal conductors, although the manufacturer may provide the information. What they have measured is capacitance, and on another discussion forum Ken Hotte (Kbk above), one of the principals of Teo Audio, posted the following: These cables are and or just were in, shall we say, a state of the art facility. Someone who definitely has the qualifications, just tested them and found that the the 'actual' capacitance of any of them, 1m length, 2m length, etc..any design (there are three extant IC models out of some 200 variations I tried), is a full magnitude lower than...6 inches of soldered in place, air dielectric, untreated, clean, 99.99999% 28g copper wire. Just using a LCR meter won't show this. I repeatedly stated that the cable will simply show you the reflection of the meter's design, nothing more. You have to know how to work at getting true dissipation information. This is part of why it is stated that the cable will simply 'become' the impedance that is necessary for matching or bridging the given presented load(s).
I knew that would be the case, and I didn't bother to measure it as the whole point was to make standard calculations and usage of complex LCR.....Irrelevant. I know the above may raise more questions than it answers, but there you have it, and it's as much information as they are willing to give out...I've asked, myself. As always, the proof is in the listening. Brian Walsh |
STELTH V10 Best cable i have ever heard in my system!! |
Ebm: there is no such model. Maybe you're thinking of cars such as a Dodge Viper.
I just received Teo Audio's new Reference interconnects and speaker cables on loan. |
