Ultra blacks here, I've demoed lots of other stuff and units remained king if the castle, so far. For me it sounded good straight away but got better with time for sure.

I am running the blue's and they are great, they seem to be a really good match for my amp and speakers so i guess i got lucky!

I can vouch for that, opened Steve's system right up; even his wife mentioned how good it sounded lol!

Bev PM sent.....do a search in AOS I did a wee write up that might help.

Just wondering how many peeps are using the Tellurium Q Black speaker cable?

Can anyone comment on its sound compared to other speaker cable they have used?

Cheers

Bev

I used to use TQ Black. I found it coloured & when switching between it and my NVA cable it seemed like the highs were rolled off. As Frank reported I perceived a 'smoothing' effect, which would actually work well to tame bright systems or recordings...

In comparison my LFD Hybrid Ribbon cable is more open, natural, refined & with less 'character'.

EDIT: Sovereign did a good comparative review here & his findings pretty much matched up with mine: http://www.audiochews.com/discussion...r-cable#Item_1

I have the TQ Black, and must admit the jaw drop effect wasn't as great as when I first plumbed in the Blues........

I keep wanting to retry the Blues if anyone has a 2m pair........?

That is exactly what I experienced in my system using the 'Blues' in place of the Belkin cables I used back then...

Recently retried the blue....very lively, brighter, in yer face....nice strong bass. very nice. Back to black( no AC/DC pun intended) different league composure,refinement nothing missing just everything had been cleaned up/less colouration.
they're both good but in my set up/ears/room the black was major upgrade sonically. IMHO

As I mentioned earlier in the thread Tony, it's entirely possible the Blues may not have been a good match with other components in my system. Since I am now using a different power amp I may well revisit the Blues at some point in the future to pit them against my current reference cables
