“something that I’ve never heard from any cable at this price point.”
.....Paul Rigby HiFi World August 2010

“Cavernous acoustic space.....palpable sense of reality...good sense of timing and pitch...the sound was controlled and didn’t harden as the volume increased...even tonal balance.”
.....Hi Fi News  (Feb 2010 edition)

"Wow! What more can I say?! If I'm to be honest with you, I'd have to say that my hifi system has always been a bit of an underwhelming disappointment to me. The TQ Black cable has transformed the listening experience beyond measure. Totally engaging, so much detail previously unheard. I'm going to have to go the whole hog now & invest in matching interconnects, eventually"... Cheers, Adrian.

"I have found the TQ Black-II cables to be very impressive,bass,mids,treble all sound clearer,more natural sounding,channel separation much improved,very pleased with purchase,now I need the Black-II jumper leads to finish it off…". Neil

Tellurium Q Black was Tellurium Q's first cable and they knew we were on to something special when they took the prototypes to various dealers for their comments and input. One in particular would not believe that it could match his somewhat thicker more expensive cable that was in his demonstration system.

Tellurium Q sat down and listened to some of his familiar music tracks. Then they swapped the cable for Tellurium Q Black. He sat forward, looked at us and quite seriously asked what else we had done to his system while they were changing the cables over. It was only when he swapped the cables himself a couple of times did he believe the evidence of his ears. He also stocked the Tellurium Q Black.
 
It is thin and it is small. By conventional thought it should not be able to do what it does and as well as it does it. That is why Tellurium Q have applied for a patent for one of the aspects that allows these cables to perform so well.

What A Difference A Cable Makes
Michael Lavorgna

This is not a review. Consider it more of an appreciation. - This story began at Munich High End 2015 in the Sound Galleries room:

"Do you have a favorite room at the show so far?" asked Geoff Armstrong as I sat in his room on the last day of the show. "Yea, this one." I replied.

That room has stuck in my mind ever since. There was "stunning clarity", something Geoff and Co. seem to enjoy combined with: "Spark of life. Great control, delicate. Embodiment of singer. Lovely".

What does this have to do with cables?

The sound I heard in the Sound Galleries room in Munich was the product of a complete system, which includes cables, and the cables in use were from Tellurium Q, a company new to me at the time. When I return from Munich, I started looking into Tellurium Q cables.

Fast forward to RMAF 2015 where I learned that Fidelis had become their US Distributor. Hmm, I thought.

Fast forward to roughly a month ago and I sent a request to Fidelis for a loaner pair of their Black XLR cable and Black USB.
The idea being, I wanted to try them in my system based on a hunch. The day they arrived, I placed them in my system and let them play music for about a week before devoting my animal brain to the sound of my system and the inevitable A|Bing.

My hunch paid off. What I heard was greater clarity, a more natural presentation, a more open yet defined sound image, improved tonal qualities and, taking a few steps back, a more engaging musical experience. So I shot off another email to Fidelis asking for a pair of their Black speaker cables.

What he said: "greater clarity, a more natural presentation, a more open yet defined sound image, improved tonal qualities and, taking a few steps back, a more engaging musical experience."

My hunch was that the sound I heard in the Sound Galleries room in Munich was due, in part, to the cables (dah). And I was correct, at least in terms of how they perform in my system and how my ear/brain system reacts to the sound of my system with the Tellurium Q cables as part of it. I'll also mention that I change cables about as often as I change undercoating.

The thing is, cables being part of a system, which in turn communicates to our ear/brain system, pretty much makes their performance site- and user-specific. The Tellurium Q cables are two-for-two on my scorecard.

Like I said, this is not a review, more of an appreciation. I'm appreciating my music even more. SOLD.

BEST ANALOGUE CABLES 2018
Tellurium Q MD Geoff Merrigan actually visited me this year to demonstrate the companies new flagship product the Statements Cables.  It was an experience I will not forget for a long time, wow what a product range.  These are the best cables I have ever experienced by some considerable margin and I hope to get a chance to spend more time with them in the future.  I didn't have enough time with them for them to be considered for an award, maybe in 2019 we will see.Picture
 
The Tellurium Q Black II speaker cables are the companies entry level speaker cable from the Black Family.  At £54 a meter they are not what some might call entry level priced, but they are also not what anyone would call entry level performance.
I was quite stunned by just how good they are and did a very interesting comparison between the original Black I and Black II and was very impressed by the improved sound quality from what is visually the same product.

The Black II speaker cables are flexible, discrete, could easily fit under carpets or rugs and as such would be very easy to live with in nearly all domestic situations.  They are a very light speaker cable and are therefore very well suited to use with book shelf speakers sitting on top of stands.  All these often forgotten factors coupled with the overall sound quality at their price point are the reason I can happily award them Best Analogue Cable of 2018.  They are a great introduction to what Tellurium Q are all about and if you like what these do, you will love what the other cables do higher up in the range.
