| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? I had the VAC 70/70 Renaissance (not the signature version) Mk III for several years, and it is an outstanding amp with that classic to-die-for VAC mid-range. After an ill-advised system overhaul, I started over--again--and ended up getting the Li... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! @tommylion -- As I said previously, the CT Graphenes are very good interconnects and I could have lived happily with them---until I heard the Teo Game Changers, which just give a much clearer picture of the music than I have experienced with any o... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables I have found no speaker cables or power cords that I prefer to the Cerious Graphene CTs, but the Teo Game Changers are really unlike any interconnect I have tried in my system. With that said, the Cerious interconnects are tremendous--it's just th... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! All tubes here. Tube integrated, tube dac, tube phono stage. | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Wig,Having lived for a time with the Cerious Graphene interconnects, power cords, and speaker cables, this is my take in a nutshell:The interconnects are very good.The power cables are extremely good.The speaker cables are a knockout.I could have ... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! @1markr Hey Mark! Fancy running into you here! You raise a great question, but since I am now running an integrated, the issue for me will be whether the Teos make as profound a difference with my analog rig as they do with my DAC. I will report b... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! Fantastic explanation, Wig! All I can say is that what you expressed is consistent with my experience. I never realized how much I was "hearing" my previous cables (too many to name) until I tried the Teo cables, which completely changed my paradi... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio I would ask for a full refund, including shipping costs. It is very good of you to try to make the best of this, but why should you have to bear the burden of this headache when you clearly did not get what you paid for?Short of a full refund, if ... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! As a matter of fact, I received the Teo cables two days ago and have been trying to pin down my impressions. Ken says that the cables will continue to break in for another 80-90 hours or so before they reach their full potential, but I will say th... | |
| Help choosing integrated As a longtime believer that separates were the only way to go to achieve maximum sound, I must say that the Line Magnetic 508ia completely changed my way of thinking, if you are open to tubes.Not only does this integrated make beautiful music, but... | |
| Ghost in the machine? Try unplugging everything and then see if you are getting any noise through the speakers. I have a neighbor with a ham radio, and every so often I will pick up noise from that. If you are using unshielded cables, they may be acting as an antenna. | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! Denon1, no, not directly. I agree with you that the Jade hybrids are outstanding--I had them for several years and sold them as part of a total system overhaul a few years ago. I would love to get another pair to compare to the Cerious, though the... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! Thank you, jayctoy. I just received word today that my cables will ship on Thursday or Friday. I'll get them sometime next week and check in shortly thereafter.Yes, I have been very happy with my Daedalus speakers. I've built the rest of my system... | |

| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! Agreed. The return policy is more than fair. I hope your friend will chime in with his impressions. Your write-up was excellent and persuaded me that these were worth trying out. There really is no downside.Once I get them, I will report back with... |
