Anyone had a play with Tellurium wires?

[MartinT]

Tony - if I could borrow a set of Ultra Blacks I would try them out instantly. My Kimbers have a current list price of £5k and they would take some beating, so it shows how impressed I am with Tellurium. The phase coherence they strive for makes a great deal of sense to me.

I bought some unterminated blue and had a short play last night with them. All I have at the moment to compare them against is my set of Black Mambas which I am very familiar with and the Belkins, which to be honest won't put up too much of a fight.

I cannot say there was a jaw dropping moment to be honest, but my initial perception is that they seem rather good at "untangling" music into it's individual strands, so bass is distinct and easy to follow note by note, so the timbres and harmonics shine clearly through. While treble per se is clear and crisp, it seems to have lost the air, space, ambience and depth in the recordings which I did apparently have with the Mambas. This isn't an absolute appraisal though, merely a snapshot of the cable as immediately installed and less than an hour at that.

Tonight I will have a longer head-to-head session with the Mambas plus several other cables that David Brook has kindly sent me to play with.

I also bought some unterminated Blue and new z plugs about a week ago and have compared them to my Mambas. My intitial impression is extremely favourable in terms of clarity, focus and musical timbre. I also agree with Frank, Tony and Ali in that they seem to be very accurate in unravelling music into its component threads. However I am begining to hear some depth and space the more I listen, but it is still early days. I would love to hear the Black and Ultra Black at some point but that is one for future.

Tony brought both blue and black over. The black is immediately noticeably better than the blue.

Ah well, I will have to polish up on my busking skills for the extra dosh

No Ali, please no. Don't tell me that. I must resist or the Feuhrer will go spare!!

[Ali Tait]

Yes, I thought similar when I heard Tony's,though it may be it's just more accurate.

Don't all these wires come from BICC and use exactly the same copper these days?

I'll get me coat.........

I had a good chat with Divine Audio yesterday, ordering another XLR Black pair of interconnects. I asked him about the Ultra Black speaker cables and he is going to send me a loan pair of them and the Greens. Looking forward to comparing them with my £5k Kimber Select KS-3035 (which I would love to sell due to their increased value).

Handy if you can upgrade your cables and actually gain money at the same time
