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 we have ever produced and you will hear why. All the superlatives applied to the Statement cables apply to these XLRs and some!

Performance Profile

Statement

Utterly transparent and exquisitely refined, Statement cables present music with absolute clarity, revealing every micro-detail, harmonic nuance, and subtle ambience without ever sounding forced. The tonal balance is flawless, completely uncoloured, yet profoundly musical, with instruments and voices placed with astonishing spatial accuracy. Dynamics are lifelike and effortlessly controlled, while the soundstage opens wide with natural depth and three-dimensional imaging. Despite its analytical precision, Statement remains organic and emotionally engaging, combining the ultimate in resolution, coherence, and realism with a fluid, analog-like musicality that makes every performance feel immediate and alive. This is Tellurium Q’s flagship range, crafted for systems where nothing less than perfection is acceptable.

Reviews and User Comments

“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.”

– Terry Ellis, Pursuit Perfect System

“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!”

“… it also means that my cables have been blocking the sound and distorting the stage, whether I knew it or not. When the Tellurium Q Statement II cable was inserted, the stage became much more open and it felt more like listening at the scene…. but what is clear is that I have now decided to ‘break up’ with existing cables, especially speaker cables. We recommend serious listening to enthusiasts.”

Some more snippets from the review:

“Another unexpected result is that the resolution has increased as if the source device has been changed. …

This time, by adding an additional Statement II XLR interconnect cable the particles become softer and the front and back layers of the instruments unfold three-dimensionally. Most changes related to the stage were captured, but vocal overtones and studio reverberations were observed more clearly. The expression “hearing a sound that you couldn’t hear” is used in situations like this….

When I revert back to my [own] speaker cable and XLR interconnect, the particles become relatively coarse and the stage becomes flat…

There is not a single corner that is glossed over. It is truly a world of 4K UHD HDR, with no color bleeding. It seems like the music source has been completely changed.

…when the Statement II speaker cable was inserted, the scale of the orchestra grew at once. The texture of the organ also becomes more vivid. In the highlight section around 1 minute and 12 seconds, all the notes of the orchestra rush in like a tidal wave. These are notes that have been pressed down very tightly. The organ in the background looks like a huge rock wall. The scale, majesty, authority, force, and the impression of the song itself have changed.”

“But this highlights the great difference about Tellurium Q Statement II; when you put it up against other cables – including its predecessor – the other cables sound like they are imposing their own characteristics on the sound.

Tellurium Q Statement was a revelation prising open the sound of your music in a way you might not have thought possible before. And if you liked what Statement did, Statement II does it better.

The revealing quality of the cable doesn’t come with a harsh edge. It shows what your system does, but it doesn’t push you to change that system.

If you have Statement, should you buy Statement II. Normally, this is time for some fence sitting, but here it’s an emphatic ‘yes’!”

“There is still that sense of naturalness to the sound as with the Statement 1s, but even more so in some way…can something be “more natural”, I don’t know and perhaps my choice of words is not correct. Perhaps a better way of describing the sound is from a sensory/reactionary aspect and what I would say is that the Statement 2s allow you to fall into the musical performance more easily and more rapidly than with the 1s. There’s a sound at 1 minute 37 seconds on I’m Always Touched By Presence that was much more apparent with the 2s than it was with the 1s.

The handful of words I would use to describe the Statement 2 cables from Tellurium Q is more detailed than the originals but without that detail being pushed down your throat, but with the same speed and sense of rightness..”

“The Statements stand alone….The Statements rewrite the book for cables and, at this very moment, as I write this review, completely stand alone in the market. In sonic terms, the Statement cables are breath taking.”

“Cables that make a difference…and how!”

“We are in front of a range of absolutely thrilling cables that, although not within reach of everybody, are far from the exorbitant prices that you can find in the High End audio universe, and show a sweeping sonic personality that puts them in place to revitalise absolute reference systems.

The Statement Loudspeaker cable, dazzled us by the almost surgical presentation of the sound scene, with simply amazing depth.”

Even more surprising are the line interconnect cables, that with particularly demanding recordings, impress by the degree of cleanliness” of voices and instruments.”
