You don't have to spend loads of money on it to get a good sound however if you do have the money I would recommend the to blacks as I think they sound stunning!
    In my none Quad system nothing like the OPs.

    Just be sensible, please?
    It was a nice thought Dave ...

    Oh dear...

    Peter Walker would be turning in his grave at the futility of it all...

    Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

    All the different cables I have tried with my statics have had their own sonic signatures, Im aware that quad used black and decker power cable in some demos but have found through my own experience advantages are to be had with different cables.....if a budget cable out performed my TQ I would be delighted but alas my experience has proved otherwise. The futility of such experimentation may well extrapolate to the entire hobby of hi fi......please try some of the TQ products and post your informed observations rather than deride those who have,its just pissing on peoples parade to get a reaction.

    I think you have to rain on a parade - pissing is for cornflakes or chips - something to do with the logistical side.

    And the length of the parade - although I suppose it wouldn't be necessary to piss on it in its entirety. Food for thought.

    You are unfairly maligning the OP he has not derided anything or anyone just tried to be enquiring and open to possibilities. He's looked at Tellurium posted information and understandably confused by what TQ say about some of it's range (the Green).

    Yes of course he must try them (otherwise the mob will sort him out) on sales or return AND try something else too. Caveat one prominent vendor only offers 3m lengths and no means to order different lengths. Most other vendors let you choose in 0.5 m increments

    How do you have access to who is being pissed off members parade wise and know the motivation of those you see as pissing? Do you have special powers denied to us mere mortals sorry if it is your professional speciality apologies.

    I am listening through TQ Black speaker cables as I post. As others have said horses for courses with the understanding horses and courses differ.

    Just because a person is amazed by TQ in their system in their home does not mean others will be or should be.
