I got it the first time. No need to SHOUT!!!!!!!!!!

Cwlondon, weight is hardly a valid measure of quality except in some source components and speakers where reactive mass can make a difference. In cabling there are other aspects to consider.

Cwlondon, I've been pursuing high end for just as long and remember the early exotic cables. Of course ths topic of this thread is 'biggest and baddest...' but it sounds more like a phallic reference than anything else. Otherwise everyone would fill their cables with lead shot and such to achieve highest mass :)
I like your system. Biamp those Tympanis with tubes and you'll go much farther down the road.

Ebm, contrary to your assertions it doesn't exist on the website. It must have been a bad Dream. |
Norm (Tbg), it's true that both use liquid conductors, but that's where the similarity ends. Cerious uses ceramic material, whereas Teo Audio uses a proprietary alloy of gallium, indium, and tin which was initially developed as a relatively safe substitute for liquid mercury. |
Tbg, contact cleaner is toxic. So are a lot of things around the house. What is the point of the remark? |

Klinerm, thank you for the unsolicited kind words. I know you are careful about changes in your system, yet your leap of faith based on the shorter interconnects' performance has been rewarded, also confirmed by your friends. Many happy hours of listening. |
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 |
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. |
Silver ribbons, say no more.
Auditioning the Teo Audio Reference cables is known to cause severe disenchantment. |
