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.

@janehamble....that  wasn't very nice....for the record, I am the other half of TEO Audio ( Ken, who writes under teo_audio, being the other...there are only two of us)....to insinuate that bumperdoo is playing some sort of sock-puppet role is, uhh, basically wrong, and as mentioned above not nice, not nice at all....again, for that proverbial record, he is a close friend, and just happens to be a very outspoken and enthusiastic fan of our products ( of which he has owned several...and played in one of the very best, and revealing, systems I have ever had the pleasure to experience ...).....

....we dealt with you in an honest and fair manner and we get this dropped on our lap ?.....frankly, I hoped for better, much better....

....word of advice, when in a hole stop digging....and btw more than one face-plant a day may have lasting negative effect on your health...so maybe time to ease off eh....

...yeah ain’t projection grand....yup, that’s our dear randy-11, right as rain yet once again ( must be tough to be so dead nuts on like all the time....well except for this epic face-plant.. ).....as Ken says that was just me blundering about blindly and hopelessly flailing ...wasn’t really a good start to the morning....

...but we did find out who says what about whom and why...so not a total wash....now forewarned, and forearmed, eh....

....am waiting, as I’m sure everybody else is here, for a thread discussing which type of potato is best for a tuber preamp.....

....me, being a homer, I’ll go with Yukon Golds....and I’m going to go on a limb here and guess that our dear randy probably goes for whatever is on sale at the local supermarket....like it’s just potatoes, damn it, slap enough butter on it and who cares....

....now wondering if home grown would be better than store bought....organic vs GMO ?....heritage vs modern ?...

...hmmmm....this could, in the hands of the right mob, produce months of fun...

....maybe randy-11 should change his handle to something like spud-11....you know, to get in the spirit of the fun times ahead....or maybe mashedpotato-11 ( which, btw, is trending very strongly with our focus group )...

@janehamble ....admittedly, yes, there is that fine line, and yes, we have some very enthusiastic and supportive "fans" ...we, at TEO proper, try to keep it as "straight" as we can ( but we can also be pretty enthusiastic as well ) but sometimes we too veer off line and enthusiasm can verge into heart-felt gushing....what can I say, we are passionate about what we do...

....and last, but most certainly not least, much sorries for the rather terse tone in my response to your earlier post....unfortunately passion can sometimes have a downside....

@ vfrpilot

We are also pretty excited by the results,

To answer your query, our newest cable offering has the same basic sound signature but is much more along the lines of an Ultra level of performance/refinement than that of the GC11 ( on whose wire assembly it is loosely based btw....methinks our modified plug seems to punch very nicely above its price point and may explain the performance increase ).
