Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!


I wrote an extremely long review of 4 cables auditioned in my system recently. I pontificated for way too long and it was more an outlet for me to tell a story that cables do matter and how much each design can make your system sound. The last cable through was the Teo GC IC purchased here and it truly was a game-changer in how it shifts our paradigm about what wire gives us as "truth" and what this slurry of Ga-In-Sn can do better (IMO). Not a technical review but an emotional roller coaster through 4 different topologies:

Ribbons
Graphene
Multi-strand
Liquid

I'm happy to re-broadcast that here but it is very long (6+ MSWord pages long). I'll point to it for now and take your advice.

Bottom line is the GC cable is truly stunning in what it can do and for us mere mortals who cannot spend thousands on cabling, I believe it can elevate anyone's system to new heights.

Anyone try the teo preamp?

yes 3 of us had a shootout with it against a modded bottlehead beepre.  2 out of 3 preferred the bottlehead and the third guy was on the fence saying he could hear positives to both. 
The teo preamp sounded like a typical passive, a hair on the polite side lacking a bit of drive and impact. 
The bottlehead had better bass,mids, presence and staging, the only thing the teo did slightly better was the highs.  We also had one of the teo interconnects going from pre to amps and I could discern no difference in sound from my neotech. 
System was a pair of Sophia 845 monos driving a pair of Tannoy yorkminsters 
Source was a loaded vpi tnt with a vandenhul colibri on a SME tonearm going into a Herron phonostage.

I have no BS to add. I do give good technical information out.

If bumpydoo wants to engage in magical thinking that is sad.

Actually I think randy11 is right to question. Why is it that when somebody interrupts one of these lovefests he is labelled a troll?   I like to know and understand the science behind the things I am listening to. If it's not making sense I want to know why. 
 If I just spent a few thousand on some cables I better damn well be able to pick them out in a blind test or else I want my money back.   I can't understand why more people don't share this view!
