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've heard the 1M & 3M ICs.

In many ways the most musically invovling sound I've ever heard from a cable.

But when I found out their prices, I sent them back. I don't believe any company can survive at those price points, especially the speaker cables.

You're right - I have no business commenting on the speaker cables which I never heard.

I did have the latest XLR ICs.

It's only my personal opinion that they cannot survive at these price points without a more compelling story that reaches many more prospective buyers.

But it's just opinion - based only from my experience - not from any inside knowledge.

I found myself wishing they would license the technology to one of the better known cable manufactures with greater economies of scale, but I guess the "not invented here" thinking prevents that.
