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.

It is quite a price jump from the Game Changer to the next model up which, I'm assuming is the splash, at present?

I believe you're right @bluenose that it'll sit between GC and Splash - I'll confirm with Taras later today.

Cables warming up now with some Art Pepper...

Confirmed @bluenose - that's the plan.

They are starting to sound really good - have been tweaking for about 2 weeks now...

I have had the Splash Rs in my system for 2 days now and I’m liking the improvements over the GC in several areas. First, even though they are NOT fully burned-in, the Rs captures WAY more low level detail which is very obvious on acoustic instruments such as Guitars, Cellos and Violins; this was one of the first thing I mentioned to Ken after my GC had time to burn-in and settle.

Also, I’ve noticed a Big difference in floor noise, channel separation, imaging and sound-staging with the Rs in place. Everything is located within its own space and the depth of the soundstage is massive with “Pin-Point” imaging. No doubt that the Splash Rs is a much better cable…

Are they $1700 worth better?
