Teo XLR


I notice liquid cables are being talked about a bit at the moment so thought I'd share my experience.

I come from a somewhat cable sceptic background. After playing with modest cables I felt there were differences but it was all pretty subtle. The best I came across were Anti-cables which with everything I've seen seemed to offer slightly greater clarity. They've stayed in my system for the past 3 years as it's evolved.

I run an Emm Labs, Muse amp (very underrated)and Kharma speakers with just an XLR between the electronics. I was offered the opportunity to try a Teo XLR in an unfamiliar system a little while ago and was surprised at the difference it made so at the earliest opportunity I tried them in mine.

I've had them for over a week now and have been surprised at just how big a difference they've made. In a system that I've been very happy with the greater decay and body to notes is a revelation. They've added a more natural perspective that I didn't know I was missing. Very impressive.

I can understand how someone can say a cable added "weight","body", etc., to their system. Doesn't mean they are using the cable to colour the system, but perhaps the previous cable they used lacked the "weight" or body of the music. It's all very subjective!

For me, I have been on the audio merry-go-round for close to 30 years and have tried many cables, including the Stealth Sakra. I currently use Teo Liquid Standard, and do love them! I have absolutely NO reason to look elsewhere......everything I do or change in my system is revealed and the Teo are part of that formula. I have had many components and cables and have found synergy is where the magic is. It is possible a great cable, or component,etc., would not work well in someones system if the synergy is not there!

In my system, the Teo are the "best" I have had. The thing about them is they are like a great tube system, they need time to warm up, break in. The cool thing is that the system does not always sound the same! Maybe to some that's not "cool", but in fact things break in and go through changes.......even my power supply changes depending on the time of day. This is all revealed when listening to the music, and the Teo are part of the reveal chain. The system sounds amazing all the time, but every now and then, when everything is in it's sweet spot and the power company is sending out the good stuff, I just shake my head in disbelief.

I find we all share our experiences on here and just because one persons experience with a component/cable is not the same as anothers, doesn't necessarily mean anything! There is also much opportunity for confusion when trying to talk the audio language! Descriptives can easily be misunderstood if not articulated carefully.
