One of the best HDMI cable?
@geoffkait I checked out the audioquest HDMI website to check out the Carbon cable. Interesting choice. Thanks for the tip. What contact enhancer are you using on the plugs? How is it applied, ousitde surface only or both inside and outside surfaces? 
New TEO Audio ICs, who has them?
The Ultra is very similar to the Game Changer II. I have both in my system now, with the GC-II as a source interconnect and the Ultra as the interconnect between my preamp and powered ATC monitors. I am making further adjustments with the system a...

Agreed, jayctoy. Only things missing from my conversation with Taras on Friday were the beers. 
Cable Snake Oil Antidote
All components in a sound reproduction system "degrade" the signal in some manner. Absent reference tapes of a live recording one has attended (or a long-term echoic memory of musical passages that I doubt exists for anyone) from which one may com...

On Friday, I plugged in an order for a 2M run of the GC Ultra interconnects for use with my preamp to powered ATC monitors. Should be a revelatory improvement with respect to my current interconnects for that leg.

Their patent on the liquid metal fluid cables includes additional embodiments having either solid wire or solid particles in the fluid for the purpose of affecting electrical phase coherence properties. The tube geometry holding these goodies (flu...

@ in_shoreI wonder why the Teo Audio cable products have different performance attributes. They presumably have the same liquid metal fluid ingredients, unless I am missing something. Maybe they differ in construction materials beyond the liquid m... 
Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics?
Jim Bongiorno, the founder of SUMO and GAS, died in January 2013.

@ teo_audioMy GC2 cables are at 175-hr+ burn-in. Sound fabulous, being the best IC in my audio system by far with incredible dynamics, speed, space and timbre. Need to dial in the correct length for a run from my preamp to my powered ATC monitors ...

@taras22 Yes, I’m referring to your patented holes in the connectors. Thanks for confirming. (Not everything that is patented is included in the patent owner’s commercialized embodiment, which is why I asked.)

Which Teo Audio cables include the tuned ABH apertures in the RCA connectors?  
Oyaide Cables
@t_ramey take five audio has a tutorial on mating connectors to Oyaide raw wire, where they teach connecting the screen and ground together on only the wall plug connector (and cutting off the shield wire from the IEC plug). I think this is consis... 
Oyaide Cables
@lak@t_rameyAbout 10 days ago (2-15-2018), I recall you both describing using a set of copper-rhodium plated plug carbon fiber connector from an ebay vendor for use as connectors for power cables. I seem to recall that t_ramey used Oyaide BM V2 w... 
Conditioning/Burn-In Method
@elizabeth, how do you break in your cables? What would you consider a long non-use time (and circumstances, i.e., cables being unplugged from components or simply not sending an active signal through the cables?) and cable movement that brings ab... 
Conditioning/Burn-In Method
I had the impression that wire cables are conditioned only once (and permanently) when they undergo conventional break in with musical signals. So exactly what does an Audiodharma Cable Cooker do to effect wire cable conditioning and “break in?” A...
