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

Had to give some feedback to this site on the TEO Game Changer IC after a big jump up in performane of my system. Yesterday, even though I have been trying to get a over a cold or bronchitis, I still listened to my system and right from the beginning I thought I noticed a wider and deeper soundstage along with smoother and fuller notes....amongst many other improved attributes! I listened to several discs and  all revealed the same thing. To confirm I tried a particular cut on a disc that has always had a sharp and cutoff female vocal and sure enough it sounded fuller and sweeter by a large margin than it has ever before. So I knew my somewhat clogged ears probably weren't deceiving me in some weird way.

I confirmed today what I was hearing yesterday as my ears were a lot clearer today. It seems like my cables took  close to 2 months to break in. I thought they were pretty broken in about three weeks ago. At that point I had about 200 hours of low volume level hours with sacd player set on repeat for days at a time and about 40 hours actual listening after about a months time in my system. The last 3 weeks have probably only seen an additional 20 hours of high level volume play back with no noticeable change in sound quality.  Big jump up in performance from last weekend to yesterday. I was already very happy with my Teo GC'S compared to my former IC. But now I am kind of amazed. I have been experiencing the feeling like a big magnifying glass has been put on the sound in my system and details keep getting filled in everywhere.The GC'S replaced a 1000 dollar XLR highly rated interconnect. I thought some should know that total break in may be longer than thought in some situations!

Teo does not make a XLR version of the Game Changer. I was slightly apprehensive going to a RCA but it I am absolutely thrilled with the results. 

In my system the Game Changer was pretty good after just a few hours in my system.  After about the 30 day mark with over 200 hours of low volume level, with CD player spinning a disc on repeat and an additonal 50 hours of regular playing and listening, I was really impressed by the cables attributes. Very large soundstage laterally and depth wise along with incredible retrieval of detail. The GC just has wonderful natural tone and a sound more like the real thing! Two weeks later I got another jump up in performance that really caught me off guard and thrilled me. Now even bad harsh discs sound pretty darn good! I do not feel the need to buy SACD versions of music anymore. So I would say you may really need 45 to 60 days to see what this cable can do. I am pretty shocked at what a CD can sound like on my Sony 5400.

I took my GC to a friend's house for him and another audio friend to listen to and they were both really impressed immediately. The GC made his other cable sound sterilie in comparison...it just made the music sound beautiful is the best way I can describe it. The other friend had tried the GC in his system and said it didn't sound like that in his system and I told him about my breaki in experience and that he may have needed more time. My friend has since bought two GC'S for his system. I believe Bob will be posting his experiences with the GC here soon
