HiFi Cinema: Statement Tone Arm

“One of those OMG moments!….
Every now and again we try a new bit of kit to see if we can improve on our already capable top end system. Little by little we push the bar higher, but every now and then something very significant comes along.

KOG audio told us about a new Tellurium Q cable that goes from the DIN output socket on a record deck to a couple of RCA (Phono) plugs. Part of their Statement range, at an eye watering £3600, we thought we’d try one to see if it justified its price tag.

Plugging it into our smart new Technics SL1000R direct drive record deck (not to be confused by previous models of the SP10 / SL1000 – this is a whole new ball game), via a Lehmann Audio Decade pre-amp, into the 500 series Naim system with the gorgeous Focal Scala Utopia speakers. It took about 5 seconds to realise it had transformed the whole system into something so special, I haven’t heard anything as good, anywhere, at any time, for any price !”

HiFi World: Statement Tone Arm

“Detail was impressive. Cymbal taps offered body and a presence with a beginning middle and an end. I could hear effort and pressure, Bringing a sense of realism that was impressive.”

The Ear: Statement RCA Cable

“Switching the original Statements out and installing the Statement IIs I cued up the same record and returned to my listening seat. I had changed no amplifier settings and yet here was Harlan County Line sounding better than I have ever heard it. The delineation between the instruments was more pronounced but not at the expense of coherence, and then the voice was there. Actually it was here, in front of me, just a few feet away. I felt that I was in some Kentucky roadhouse, surrounded by miners and country people, all absolutely silent as Mr Alvin told us his stories. The Statement IIs were the only difference from the first spin of the record, so I had to attribute this added realism and authenticity to them. It had been fascinating to hear the differences in the TQ studio, but if anything it was even more noticeable and impressive in my own home system…

What Geoff Merrigan has achieved with this new version of Statement II is little short of remarkable. He took an already class-leading product and made it even better.”

If you have invested in the MKI version and are now feeling the urge to upgrade my advice would be to do it if you have the financial means…. only audition Statement IIs if you can afford them. You have been warned!”

HiFi Review: Statement RCA Cable

Only an essence of the review using google translate:

“…excellent balance and excellent full frequency analysis…made me hear the singer’s rich emotions…pronunciation is as clear and real as it can be….and the two female singers who sang in the chorus in the left channel have a sense of “mouth shape” and positioning which is amazing! … If you are using a tube preamplifier, TQ Statement II is here to help you upgrade. A short cut, worth a try”

Audiotechnique: Statement XLR Cable

“What on Earth did Tellurium Q do to make the music much more moving?… finally I have to admit the magic power of Statement [II].

After switching to the speaker and signal lines [XLR] of the Statement II, I replayed this album again. My wife suddenly asked me what I had changed (she was used to the test of playing acoustic equipment at home). She said that those songs were better than before… Oh!! If I have the financial resources, I should leave the Statement II.”After switching to the speaker and signal lines [XLR] of the Statement II, I replayed this album again.

HiFi Plus: Statement XLR Cable

“Compared to other cables, including the original Statement, Statement II sounds more transparent and doesn’t impose any sonic character.”

Stereonet: Statement XLR Cable

“It isn’t easy creating a globally successful cable brand from nothing, then building on that success over the years, but that’s what Tellurium Q’s Geoff Merrigan has done. Against all the odds, the company has taken on the market’s big names and prevailed. Its no-nonsense approach has surely helped – with precious little marketing hype and a focused attitude. The flagship Statement II XLR epitomises this – there’s little in the way of fancy packaging and no tall tales of magical ingredients. Yet the sound speaks for itself, being translucent and effortless with a wonderfully organic feel.”

HiFi Plus: Statement XLR Cable

“In a matter of seconds, you’ll hear which of the current crop of singers is talented, and which ones have been subtly tweaked by a bit of judicious compression in the high frequencies. And that’s a real shock.

The absence of imposed tonality, timbre, and coloration in Statement II allows an unprecedented level of insight into the recording and production techniques used in the music.”
