Tellurium Q Statement II – Analogue Interconnects

Tellurium Q^® is often asked what do they do that makes their cables perform so well?

The simple and unsatisfying answer is that they do a lot of little things together that mount up to be very important in terms of the final performance.

People assume that to get the best performance the “fastest” conductor – pure silver of something even better has to be used.

Which is also one of the reasons for the pointless chasing of nines as I call it i.e. copper to 99.9999999% purity as if that is the single most important factor for a cable

Surprisingly, to get a more “natural” sound, it is not just about merely conduction.

This is the reason, any conductor from any cable manufacturer on this planet will act as an electronic filter and by that I mean that the various frequencies relative to one another get shifted with each material they pass through and are also affected by insulators, geometries, shielding etc..

The interesting thing is that materials affect ranges of frequencies in dissimilar amounts. It really is a finely tuned balancing act.

This is the model that they use, a way of thinking about cable development.

In a Bell labs report from way back in 1930 they found that transient phase distortion affected the “naturalness” of voices.

Of course there are many things that contribute to the fact that Statement cables are winning so many awards and firsts.

But this “naturalness” is one of the prime factors that we listen for in the final production ready cable.

This testing process is more iterative than people would imagine.

Even down to the solder that they use.

Not standard by any means for the audio industry and they have tried numerous mixes and diverse percentages of silver in the solder but at the end of their testing and development they find that they have a solder with no silver whatsoever (no lead either).

The connectors may look relatively ordinary but have multiple layers of plating and not always the material you would expect.

There is even more detail and precision within the plating process itself, because TQ. specify the thickness of the plating and what has to be in the plating bath and what should not be.

These are just a couple of tiny details that make up just one small part of one cable.

The detail, precision and care is the same for the rest of the products.

And each little step needs a controlled listening and testing against other options which is immensely time consuming but hopefully the results speak for themselves.

From what they have learnt, especially in the last few years, they have been able to bring you the Statement cables.

They are the Tellurium Q® Statement II top of the performance that they think is currently possible.

Statement II XLR Cable

In terms of interconnects, in a fully balanced system a good XLR audibly out performs a good RCA.

We will just say that this is the best XLR that they have ever produced and you will hear why.

All the superlatives applied to the Statement cables apply to these XLRs and some

Statement II RCA Cable

Designed and built to match the performance of the Statement II speaker cable TQ. had to completely re-think the way they approached the RCA.

In terms of its micro-geometry, production process, isolation etc but the time and R&D spent on developing these cables has been worth it, having the same performance profile as the speaker cable.

Or as one listener described their experience connecting the RCAs into a system with the Statement II speaker cables:

“Just when I thought this is it, there’s no room for additional improvement, the RCAs were plugged in and…voila, another big step forward towards even more realistic reproduction.”

Statement II Tone Arm RCA-RCA Cable

This cable was designed to be installed between your turntable and your phono Phono stage pre amplifier where the turntable uses RCA connectors.

It is ONLY designed for this position in your system.
