jabbr Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Ahhh forget Gallium, with a cable made out of this: http://wccftech.com/ibm-gf-5nm/ you could do all sorts of convolutions and room processing, even better than MQA and all in a cable Custom room treatments for headphone users. Link to comment

Ralf11 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 cables filled with liquid poo would eliminate the "potential for interference with the signal cloud" and "show the highest level of inherent lubricity, the highest levels of creep, the highest levels of reflectivity, and the widest range of frequency of reflectivity, all as a set."

Ralf11 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 how does a Class A power FET with low capacitance, and triode like linearity in the necessary voltage range fit in here? Link to comment
jabbr Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 It's gallium, and gallium does have indications in audio ... doesn't that make more sense than the byline for the cables? Custom room treatments for headphone users. Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 It certainly does make more sense (but only if one has at least a rudimentary knowledge or electricity... or physics). I was wondering if the "liquid" cable advocate had such an amp. Link to comment
jabbr Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I thought maybe for that kind of $$$ the cables would have an amplifier built in... just a thought Custom room treatments for headphone users. Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Great idea for a new company! Or we could replace the ladder equivalent circuit model of a cable with... a ladder DAC !! Link to comment

Isn't Gallium the name of that Italian liqueur in the tall bottles that every bar has, but that nobody ever drinks? If so, there should be a plentiful supply available from all the bars coast to coast. Link to comment

There's basically no instructions with Teo Game Changers. They come in this 'tool box' due to the hazmat issue, which is slightly disconcerting. I'll write a full review shortly.

Gallium has low toxicity, so human contact isn't the issue. The issue is what to do if it leaks and ruins load-bearing structures of your house. Link to comment

The issue is what to do if it leaks and ruins load-bearing structures of your house. Gallium: When exposed to air, gallium slowly forms an oxide layer which is toxic if inhaled. The most hazardous mode of exposure is inhalation and care should be taken to avoid inhaling any dusts or fumes associated with gallium and its compounds. Indium (also found in the "liquid metal"): Exposure to indium metal in solid form is expected to have few adverse health effects as long as no dust or fume is produced. In laboratory animals, indium-tin oxide was found to increase cancer risks through inhalation. The soluble salts of indium were very toxic when given intravenously. mQa is dead! Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 So, are those things legal to sell in California? And they are apparently imported from Canada - so I wonder about the toxicity issues. Link to comment
GrahamJohnMiles Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I have the first production pair of TEO's GC liquid interconnects. Been listening to them for almost a year. What they bring to your system is coherence, a sense of all the information in the music arriving at the same time. My SO, not an audiophile by any means, thought the effect was akin to seeing a photograph with everything sharply in focus. In the grand scheme of Audio purchases, I thought the price I paid $625 including shipping, a steal and have never regretted my decision. Link to comment
jabbr Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Sounds like an acid trip ... what kind of liquid in those? Custom room treatments for headphone users. Link to comment
NOMBEDES Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Well, water does conduct electricity right? Why not use tap water in a garden hose set up as an interconnect. You could charge more money for a set with distilled water!! In any dispute the intensity of feeling is inversely proportional to the value of the issues at stake ~ Sayre's Law Link to comment

Speedskater Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Tap water needs salts & minerals to conduct well. Distilled water not so much. Link to comment
