Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!
Snopro +1 Similar results. The Teo GC’s have been in my system for over 200 hours – between my DAC and preamp. The GC’s were swapped with my WyWires Gold IC’s - which are excellent in their own right. Comparing the two, the WyWires Gold seem to be more ‘accurate’. The GC’s, more ‘romantic’. With the GC’s, vocals and instruments are nominally richer and rounder – more ‘organic’. Tone/timber is very nice – kind of saturated. The trade-off is that the dynamics are slightly diminished – less crisp. Percussion doesn’t stop on a dime – and leave 9 cents change. Much depends on the type of music being listened to. Using female RCA barrel connectors, I’ve connected both IC’s in series. This blend offers the best of both – with slightly less of each’s character. It has the speed & articulation of the WyWires Gold and the rich flavor of the Teo GC’s. So far, so good. Without the GC’s in my system, on certain recordings, female vocalists were slightly grainy on their high notes. With the combo IC’s, their high notes are smooth and sweet. Yet, the bite of the percussion remained. Curiously, the sound changes depending which IC is positioned first in the combo series. These observations are with my tube preamp and Class A SS amp, If I were to substitute in my Class A tube monoblocks, I’d probably just use the WyWires Golds by themselves. I definitely recommend trying them. Can’t go wrong with Teo’s generous return policy. Synergy is different for each system. Tommylion - I have Audio Note Lexus speaker cables - but, really can’t compare them to IC’s. |
It’s a slurry. Metal cannot be a liquid at room temperature. Well, except for Mercury. Teo says it’s a "eutectic" blend of Gallium, Indium and Tin, similar to what is used as a replacement for Mercury in thermometers. eu·tec·tic yo͞oˈtektik/ CHEMISTRY adjective 1. relating to or denoting a mixture of substances (in fixed proportions) that melts and solidifies at a single temperature that is lower than the melting points of the separate constituents or of any other mixture of them. noun 1. a eutectic mixture. slurry. /ˈslʌrɪ/ noun (pl) -ries. a suspension of solid particles in a liquid, as in a mixture of cement, clay, coal dust, manure, meat, etc with water. So you’re saying that one, or more, of the above elements is suspended as solid particles? |
