New TEO Audio ICs, who has them?


TEO has been busy, they recently introduced the KRONOS ICs:

I see they also have an upgraded version of the Game Changer (GC II):

Thanks for posting this. Hopefully Teo can chime in and help explain what’s different about the GC 2 from the original. I like that the price is still reasonable. The Kronon looks to be incredible but I’ll probably never have a chance to hear it.
@taras22 

Oh no, not an even trade but the original GC’s plus whatever money difference you’d think would make the trade fair. Just a thought I had. 

I have two pairs of the .6m original GC’s. 
Waiting to see if they take any trade ins or not and if they will make a .6m version. 
@in_shore 

Do you have the original GC's or any other cable from Teo to compare to?
@jayctoy 

Just to clarify, you have the CT Matrix ic’s in this comparison? I think in_shore had the Matrix when comparing to the GCII. 
I ordered the GCII and they are currently in route to me and hopefully will have them by Monday and will be able to compare to the original GC. I had the CT GE ic’s and much preferred the GC’s. 
Has anybody had a chance to compare the GC 2 to the Ultra? When I was inquiring Ken about which to get I asked him if there was a bigger jump in performance between the original GC and GC 2 or between the GC 2 and Ultra and he said there's a bigger difference between the original and GC 2. And also that the GC 2 has a little bit better bass than the Ultra but the Ultra is more refined. Not that I'm doubting Ken's words, maybe I am! HA! But just curious if anybody has had the same experience. I still think about going for the Ultra someday...
That’s awesome celander, thanks for sharing. Look forward to any future thoughts you might have on the 2 and Ultra. 
I got the adapters in last weekend, just need to get another cable to try this out, unfortunately I don’t have a spare set of GCII’s. 
I have a pair of GCII’s available for sale if anyone is interested. Looking to move up.
@teo_audio @taras22  Is it possible for you to tell us how you connected the two Jr cables to one connector? I'm curious if one cable is tied to the positive and the other cable to the negative?
Thanks Bob but I’m talking about the double double jr cables Teo has for sale here. I’m just wondering if they use the negative wire from each cable soldered to the negative on the KLE connector and then the positive wire from each cable soldered to the positive. Or do they just use both wires on one cable for the negative and both wires on the other cable for the positive for each left and right connector. I hope I’m making sense... :)
@celander  Thanks. I'm thinking of making a cheap pair of shotgun cables for a second system so I'm kinda wondering if it matters or not to have the pos/neg wires from the same cable when trying to hook them up to a single connector. It may depend on the geometry of the cable, I'm guessing.
