Ralf11 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 How long does it take to break these cables in? Link to comment
bumperdoo Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I have a pair of Teo Splash Rc inter-connects between my Meitner DAC and Audio Valve Eclipse pre-amp, and a pair of Teo Standards between my pre-amp and a pair of PS Audio BHK 300 mono blocks, and are easily the most impressive cables I have ever tried. The definition is all there, incredible sound stage, speed... everything you'd want in a cable. You can audition them in your own system as they come with a 30-day return guarantee if you're not 100% impressed. I would encourage you to give them a listen and report back... Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Any of you folks from audiogone use blind testing? Or is it just confirmation bias? Link to comment
bumperdoo Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Blind. No question. I'd encourage you to try them in your own system - if you can't hear a difference, then send them back. There are many people who have tried them and can clearly hear what they deliver. If you think we're all idiots, fine... enjoy your system. Teresa 1 Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 The web site description is incoherent BS; they contain toxic materials; there is no known mechanism by which they might act. Other than the above, I'm sure they are well worth the time to play with. Ilaz 1 Link to comment

bumperdoo Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 It's not BS - the developer behind the technology, Ken Hotte, is simply a genius. What he is saying boggles our minds, but trust me, the sound is simply superb. Which ultimately is what counts, right? Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Genius? And sorry, I am not willing to accept your blandishments on SQ at face value (even if I did trust them for a refund if returned). Link to comment
bumperdoo Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Then how can you honestly comment on something you've never heard? Your words detract from the value of a forum that's dedicated to audio my friend. Link to comment

Electrically the only difference between metals is their conductivity. Liquid gallium alloys have a conductivity less than 10% of copper. I see no benefit in this contraption, only dangers from the corrosive nature of gallium. Link to comment

Blueshound24 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I have had the entry level Purist Audio Design Elementa interconnect for many, many, years. Had to send them back once to Purist Audio to get them refilled with whatever fluid was in them. I still use them but I think the fluid is gone but they sound ok. I don't know if Purist still puts fluid in their cables or not anymore. Mine are very old, I don't change out cables much :-) "If you don't dig the blues you got a hole in your soul" - Albert King Link to comment

Understood, but what you *think* is very different from actual experience, so I wonder how your contributions here are of value. Till you've actually listened to them, I think we got your point that's based on zero actual listening. Move on. 1 minute ago, jabbr said: Hey we know that liquids are different than solids.

In the end, I think forums are valuable when people are providing constructive feedback based on actual experience. It's frustrating when so many offer negative commentary yet zero actual experience with the product being discussed. I've listened, and the results are exemplary. Liquid or not, they are worth giving a listen IMHO. Daudio 1 Link to comment

With Teo, if the liquid is gone then you won't hear anything as they truly are the conductor inside the jacket. I've not heard of their cables leaking - maybe someone has experience with that?

bumperdoo Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 So the other day, I saw an add for Bentley - I've never driven one, but the leather is too firm and the handling in the corners is kinda lame. Based on what I think I know about Bentley, I wouldn't buy one. God forbid if I actually sat in one and gave it a test drive! Link to comment

bumperdoo Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Wow mansr, you must be way smarter than everyone else here to *know* how something sounds without actually listening. Sad... Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 not clear if you missed his point or are deliberately trying to raise a strawman when claims are made that rely on magic, those with even a modicum of scientific education will doubt now, where are the studies showing these things sound better?

It's called your left ear and your right ear, my friend. This is an audio forum, afterall... all the theory in the World won't tell you how something sounds. Blueshound24 and Daudio 2 Link to comment
