Ultra Silver II Digital Streaming Cable

Plato’s Ghost

Digital streaming at the Ultra Silver II level from our R&D project, “Plato’s Ghost”. We have been down a lot of blind alleys with R&D over the years and those “failed” projects were “buried”. (Always learnt something so the word fail is a bit harsh). Some materials and approaches in this cable have been “resurrected” and repurposed from one such blind alley from 4-5 years ago in a way that had not considered. So, it is in part the “ghost” of an abandoned project we had buried.

Also in a very real way, the phrase highlights the human tendency to strive for perfection, a concept central to Plato’s philosophy. “Plato’s ghost” can represent the persistent drive towards an ideal, even if that ideal is unattainable. A goal for all audio reproduction though.

Blue Family

Warm and forgiving for systems with a slight edge or for those who like a more smooth laid back presentation. Blue and Ultra Blue are especially good for AV and home cinema.

Black Family

Smooth, fine detailed and great resolution while actually reducing apparent harshness. Music is presented as a coherent, organic whole, with a jaw-dropping sense of realism and naturalness.

Silver Family

Totally uncoloured, acting as a wide open channel sounding unforced, vivid and dynamic with phenomenal resolution, transparency and natural tonal colours. All this while sounding extremely analog and coherent, from the exceptional top end extension to bottom with finely detailed, separated bass notes.

Reviews and User Comments

“I would like to write to you to express my sincere gratitude for what your cables have done in my system.

Over time, I have installed Tellurium Q cables step by step throughout the whole chain of my equipment, and each of them has contributed something important. What began as a promising improvement gradually became something much more profound: a transformation of the entire musical presentation.

Thanks to your cables, I have finally been able to achieve in my digital system something I had long considered almost unattainable: a degree of realism, temporal continuity and musical flow that I had previously associated only with vinyl. For the first time in my life, my digital front end sounds truly believable to me, not only in terms of definition or scale, but also in terms of intimacy, coherence and naturalness.

What has impressed me most is that this was not a superficial change. It was structural. The piano changed, the orchestra changed, and above all the coherence of the sound changed. The music now flows in a way that feels natural and convincing, with a continuity that reminds me of vinyl, yet without losing the spaciousness and black background that good digital reproduction can offer.

This had been a long-standing hope of mine, one that I had almost given up on. I had reached a point where I no longer believed that digital sound could fully convince me in this way. Your cables helped me cross that final boundary.

I must also say that I never suspected phase distortion could be so relevant. Only now, after hearing the cumulative effect of addressing it throughout the entire signal path, do I understand how fundamental it is to musical realism.

So I simply wanted to thank you. Your work has allowed me to discover a level of digital playback I had never experienced before.

With gratitude and admiration.”

“… both British cables have such clearly defined signatures that potential buyers should easily know which one will stick with them for the long haul after just a few bars of their favorite repertoire. While the Tellurium Q Ultra Silver II emphasizes drive, resolution, and airiness, the Black Diamond impresses with its maturity and effortless presentation.”

“I’m talking about the Black Diamond – I’m loyally warning all potential interested parties, in the good sense of the word, that it takes no prisoners. Explaining the situation, I immediately reassure them that it’s all about its excellent liveliness. A strong line, solid bass impact, saturated midrange, and luminous treble demonstrated how to skilfully shake the listener…

Are both cables worth considering? And if so, why? I’ll be blunt. Regardless of their sonic offerings in their class and the execution of specific sonic tasks, they are very interesting designs. Each is aimed at a different target group, as it’s clear that every music lover has different problems to solve or different expectations for meeting their sonic preferences. Naturally, the brand’s price list positioning also has a lot to say, which is a result of the varying technical advancements of each cable, culminating in its specific presentation. Who would I recommend them to? That’s probably clear from the above description.

If someone is looking for peace and quiet, the Tellurium Q Ultra Silver II should be an excellent choice. However, when you want to challenge the general madness, the Tellurium Q Black Diamond will easily help you fulfil your dreams. As I mentioned, these are two worlds, which means everyone has a very good chance of finding common ground with this brand’s designs.”
