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.

I'm a big fan of Audio Note UK. I have a pair of their E speakers, and their original Kit 1.1 DAC in my system. I hope to get more/better AN gear in the future. I have never tried, or heard, their uber expensive silver ICs (Sogon, SOOTTO). However, in the last few days, I've been reading accounts by some who have experience with them. After adding the second set of GCs to my system, I was struck by the similarities between what they were describing, and what I was hearing in my system. Again, I have NO experience with these AN cables, and cannot make any direct comparison between them and the GCs. The thought that I might be getting even a tiny taste of what they can do, for the price of the GCs, is a pleasing one, though. If anyone has/had an opportunity to compare Teo and Audio Note cables, I'd love to hear your thoughts. |
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! |
How do you order the CG cables? The web site lacks pricing and ordering info. Order them right here on Audiogon @trouble1555 https://www.audiogon.com/listings?utf8=%E2%9C%93&global_search_text=teo |

He’s just looking to get by the forum rules and stab at something he does not understand, in any way he can. so, without further ado: "Liquids are the least understood state of matter ......." That no one can claim that it’s not within the realm of known physics to be different, wholly different, as it actually is that. As no one can define it. There is no theory that is known ---to cover it. So yeah, scientifically proven to be new and different. By everyone who counts and works in the given fields. The scientific article from physorg (june 2017) straightforwardly talks about fluids being off the end of the functional theory train. Now add in electricity, add in voltage and current, and more, as you have a conductive fluid. Kinetics, for example. It appears to be going a good a magnitude -and probably more- beyond known and theoretically definable sciences. |
Interesting... just checked out @randy-11 posts: Randy's posts People like this have nothing positive to add to audio forums on any topic and only serve to drive real lovers of music away. Shame. |

@randy-11 you really need to move on. You add zero value and you are becoming circular in your comments. Time and again (me included) we have stated that we have tested different cables and settled on these for a variety of reasons. I've done the blind tests - results are conclusive in my setup. I can pretty much tell you which cable is which if you want to? No problem. |
