The Ear: Statement XLR Cable

“Although by no means a newcomer, Tellurium Q’s chief engineer Geoff Merrigan continues to work his magic trick of improving upon that which had previously seemed beyond criticism. The top of the range Statement series of cables has garnered a fistful awards both here in the UK and around the audio world. I was able to compare those original Statement interconnects in both RCA and XLR configurations with the next-generation mkII versions, and was taken aback at the overall improvement in sound quality that I witnessed. More of everything came through the loudspeakers: airier treble, punchier bass of course but above all more of what we are all pursuing in this hobby, pure musical pleasure.”

Mono & Stereo: Statement XLR Cable

“Tellurium Q cables have found their way onto the market and into the homes of some of the world’s most discerning customers for several reasons. First and foremost, they take music to realms that were not possible at their price point.

The Statement II version has a subliminal potency that punctures deeper into the realms of music, unfolding new details and bringing everything down to an impressive level of quietness and transparency. Added to this is a newfound dynamic scope that allows the music to unfurl with greater dynamism from the quietest passages to the thundering crescendos. The Tellurium Q Statement MK2 delivers a level of micro- and macro-dynamics that far exceeds what I expected for this upgrade.

There’s currently no shortage of high-quality, high-performance audio cables, and Tellurium Q delivers one of the most enticing options in terms of performance and price with the new, updated MK2 versions of the Statement cable line.”

Stereonet: Statement XLR Cable

“Tellurium Q team have taken a class-leading product and managed to improve upon it still further, which is no mean feat… this constant pursuit of excellence opens up a new world of sensory delight for music lovers fortunate enough to be able to afford such cables. So, if you are in the market for a seriously capable, high-end analogue interconnect, the Statement II is an essential audition…Although my system already produces a pleasing result, the improved connection between the YBA phono preamp and Gryphon preamp revealed a fluidity and grace that I hadn’t previously realised was missing.”

Pursuit Perfect System: Statement XLR Cable

“I tested the difference between the balanced analogue cables first and the first big difference I noticed was in the early moments of Liberty by Annette Askvig, there was silence between the passages of the music, but with the Statement I there was never any silence. So, for me, the Statement II gives a much blacker background or a greater noise rejection and lower noise floor. This goes hand in hand with the improved edge definition, clarity, improved spatiality or sound stage and three dimensionality.”

HiFi Review: Statement XLR Cable

“Seems the reviewer was particularly impressed with the “restoration” of vocals and strings and mentions how real a cello sounded in the full review but here is just a snippet from the extensive review:

“Statement II is a wider soundstage It is undeniable that this balanced line [XLR] restores the human voice accurately and in a timely manner… Statement II seems to have unearthed a deeper message in the music… the sound is detailed and natural, the sense of power is real and the timbre is transparent.”

The Ear: Statement XLR Cable

“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… The next generation of Statement was an audible step up from the mighty impressive original versions, and was most apparent with the XLR terminated versions…

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!”

Pursuit Perfect System: Statement Speaker Cables

“There is much more harmonic or musical detail… much more harmonic richness, harmonic musical detail coming through the system with the Tellurium Q Statement cables [compared to Silver Diamond XLR]….which makes the system sound more relaxed and more organic…..but there is actually more clarity than the Silver Diamond [XLR] because there is more musical information.”

Mono & Stereo: Statement XLR Cable, RCA

“Tellurium Q Statements are no usual cable affair and if I’ve called the Silver Diamonds an Emotional Tour de Force what are then the Tellurium Q Statements!? Well, they certainly transcend any typical labeling and this time I’m elevating them on the throne, that they clearly deserve. Their stand out, extraordinary performance can only be recognized with the 2018 Editor Choice Award!”

Pursuit Perfect System: Statement Links

“The Statement II links helped to bring an ever greater sense of ease and relaxation to the music… I know it’s not one thing, it’s many, likely small things that all add up to producing the greater whole, a set of HiFi cables that clearly outperform the exceptionally good originals in all key areas of producing technically better sound, what Geoff calls a more natural sound.”
