Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!

I wrote an extremely long review of 4 cables auditioned in my system recently. I pontificated for way too long and it was more an outlet for me to tell a story that cables do matter and how much each design can make your system sound. The last cable through was the Teo GC IC purchased here and it truly was a game-changer in how it shifts our paradigm about what wire gives us as "truth" and what this slurry of Ga-In-Sn can do better (IMO). Not a technical review but an emotional roller coaster through 4 different topologies:

Ribbons
Graphene
Multi-strand
Liquid

I'm happy to re-broadcast that here but it is very long (6+ MSWord pages long). I'll point to it for now and take your advice.

Bottom line is the GC cable is truly stunning in what it can do and for us mere mortals who cannot spend thousands on cabling, I believe it can elevate anyone's system to new heights.

Hello Gak, it’s all good. Yours (or that of others from those few days-as time periods go).. will be going out the door mon--tues-wed, kinda thing.

We got hit with a big lump of sales at that time, and it’s stuck in our manufacturing craw. We’re giving it the Heimlich, and it’s working itself out.

On the other side of such semi-golden news, I am personally notorious for underestimating the time it takes to get things done. So be sure to reserve a few grains of salt for possible use.

Update: I decided to try the GC’s as a digital cable. After letting them settle in again, I compared them to my ’allegedly’ true 75 ohm digital cable. No contest. The GC’s were superior. With their rich imprint at the source, my system still benefits downstream from the speed and articulation of the WyWires Gold in the analog realm. Win:Win. Since my GC’s are .7m long, I connected them in series with a female RCA barrel connector to form a 1.4m long cable. Sounds like a keeper.

Operator error. After some more listening with the GC’s as a digital cable, even though the tone/timber was really nice, the dynamics were too diminished for my taste. As Emily Litella would say: ’Never mind.'   :-)
