AFAIK, the game-changer line of IC's are being sold direct here on Audiogon. Simple search should bring them up.

Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!
I wrote an extremely long review of 4 cables auditioned in my system recently. I pontificated for way too long and it was more an outlet for me to tell a story that cables do matter and how much each design can make your system sound. The last cable through was the Teo GC IC purchased here and it truly was a game-changer in how it shifts our paradigm about what wire gives us as "truth" and what this slurry of Ga-In-Sn can do better (IMO). Not a technical review but an emotional roller coaster through 4 different topologies:
Ribbons
Graphene
Multi-strand
Liquid
I'm happy to re-broadcast that here but it is very long (6+ MSWord pages long). I'll point to it for now and take your advice.
Bottom line is the GC cable is truly stunning in what it can do and for us mere mortals who cannot spend thousands on cabling, I believe it can elevate anyone's system to new heights.

This is the first instance I've seen the game changer mentioned which was last June. A few guys share their experience with the cables compared to some high dollar sets and then also guys wanting to know the science behind it. I found it interesting... https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43156 |
I can echo Walter's impressions as I received my first pair on Monday and am impressed as well. I too use the Rumours album and specifically the Dreams track to gauge how Stevie Nicks' voice sounds and to me she has never sounded better. Her raspy unique voice is all there with great clarity and sounds phenomenal. There's something about the way these cables make instruments sound that it's hard for me to describe other than saying everything just sounds right. I'm anticipating the second pair I ordered...but I'm not sure I want to go down the upgrade path with these in seeing what the higher end offerings bring. The GC's seem like such a great value I think I want to just enjoy them for what they are. But I can understand bugredmachine wanting to try what else TEO offers. |
Yep, the old "your mileage may vary" comes in to play with a lot of this stuff. On that Canuck Audio Mart forum that was posted earlier in this thread has a guy that owned HiDiamond 9 IC"s. He was so impressed with the Teo Game Changers that he quickly moved up to the Teo Splash which I think is in the same ball park as far as price goes with the HiDiamonds, somewhere around $2400. He said the price was close but the Teo Splash was in another league compared to the HiDiamonds when it came to performance. I think he eventually ended up with the Teo Reference MKii |
janehamble- Your Morrow ma4's are good cables and aren't far behind in price to the GC's so yes I think it's worth a shot to try them. A friend of mine had ma5's with Eichmann connectors and tried the GC's and within just a few minutes he was smitten. You have a good system there so why not give the GC's a chance. |
