Mark of Authenticity
Printing crisp foil text directly onto flexible insulation is incredibly difficult—it requires specialised machinery and gives rise to inconsistencies. So why go to those extra lengths? The difficulties in manufacturing also make the cables much harder to counterfeit which assures our clients that these are genuine Tellurium Q® high performing cables.

Silver III Speaker Cable

The “Silver” (Silver and Ultra Silver) has been designed for those who love detail. As has already been commented on, with the Ultra silver II the top end is extraordinarily detailed without any harshness. This incarnation, Silver III speaker cable manages to retain the same outward dimensions as, not only its predecessor, the Silver II but also the original Silver. And yet it has improved “naturalness”, better bass handling, more three dimensionality and positioning than the Silver II.

As the saying goes, you need to hear it to believe it.

While the “Black range” (Black, Ultra Black and Black Diamond) could be categorised as neutral/ natural the “Silver” would lean more to neutral, detail and extension. The Silver performance sits beyond Black for very good reasons that you will hear.

INCREASING LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE

Blue Family

Black Family

Silver Family

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

“Silver III represents both a significant leap forward in performance over Silver II and lends itself to more upmarket equipment partnerships. So, significant in fact that Tellurium Q decided a matching set of interconnects werein order.

Having checked several of the latest generation of Tellurium Q cables against their predecessors, this seems to be a common theme; the cables are improving across the board, and they are also allowing more high-end performance. But perhaps more importantly, they do this beyond the direct comparison with TQ’s existing cable range.

Tellurium Q Silver III is one of those easy recommendations. At its price, it’s hard to beat for overall value. It takes what made Silver II so popular and adds so much more.”

“The Tellurium Q Silver III represents a major upgrade over the Silver II in this system. Improvements are not subtle but immediately apparent, with significantly increased openness, articulation, separation and musical engagement. The upgrade encourages longer listening sessions and renewed enjoyment of familiar recordings. The Silver III´s make a greater emotional connection to the music. Period.”

As this review makes clear, the Silver III represents a significant step forward, offering more than just noticeable improvements across multiple aspects of performance.

“Unlike many high-end audio cables, regardless of price, the Silver III does not struggle with the balance between accuracy and musicality; instead, it fuses them into a seamless harmonic entirety.

Tellurium Q’s presence and recognition are driven primarily by the impact of its products, which, regardless of range, always set a challenging benchmark for others to meet – demonstrating comprehensive cleverness and thoughtfulness.

When research and design create real-world impact, great high-end audio cables are distinguished from mediocre ones, and under Geoff Merrigan’s direction, Tellurium Q has gradually and consistently set itself apart in the vast and saturated audio cabling market.

For what they represent on so many levels – challenging conventions, but especially for their performance and highly enticing musicality – I am more than happy to grant Tellurium Q a 2026 Mono & Stereo Best Buy Product award.”

“It turned out that the Silver III delivered the best performance, offering both dynamic and powerful sound, and a highly resolving dimension…. The Silver III opened up the space, spreading the musicians apart on stage, and allowed the large Pylons to “breathe.”

“Silver III is all about clarity and control. The most obvious shift compared with its predecessor is a lower noise floor, which sharpens image outlines and opens up the space between instruments. Transients start and stop with a crispness that makes timing feel more explicit, while complex mixes are untangled….
The sense of musical togetherness is really rather special, especially with the companion interconnects, and something that even some far pricier cables lack.”

“Two further swaps between the two sets of cables and I had heard enough to know that once again Tellurium Q had delivered on their stated intention, to take the good things about the Silver IIs and make them even better…

I know it is still only April, but I think I have just found one of my Products Of The Year: Bravo Geoff, mission accomplished.”

“The Silver III is leaving quite an impression here! Compared to the Silver II it is noticeably more nuanced and resolving, conveys space and separation more convincingly plus at the same time wonderfully smooth with a superbly weighted midrange. Wonderful!”

– Ray Ng, Raindrop Audio Singapore

“My initial impressions were rather shocking……

Firstly, reflecting upon my [other brand] cable comparison, who would have thought that I’d be describing the Silver IIIs as great value for money? That was a surprise. I was also surprised at the reduction of noise across the soundstage, the enhanced detail related to that and the extra focus produced alongside.”

“Geoff wasn’t really expecting to get any commercial success from the onset of developing the Silver III. He and his team used it just as a challenging project to find out what else they could learn about signal propagation. What they have achieved with the Silver III is something quite extraordinary. A very detailed and wide soundstage capturing all frequencies evenly, and with fast transients to give the music the bite it deserves
They bring the highest level of the TQ 3×3 matrix to those with the smallest pockets.”

“It offers a very good definition and sound control, greatly differentiates recordings, has a good resolution, and the amount of information, including subtleties that can be heard with it, is surprising, because it is very rare at this price level. The tonal balance is actually neutral, but at the same time it is not a cold sounding cable. Acoustic and vocal recordings show that the naturalness of sound is a big advantage of Silver II.”

“I just wanted to say how much my wife and I have been totally blown away with our recent purchase of Tellurium Silver II loudspeaker cables from Audio destination at Tiverton. They have so improved our listening enjoyment with our HI Fi system. Everything is as we always hoped it should be and hoped it would be. I was concerned that they may show any weaknesses in our system. But all they have revealed is just how poor our previous, yet well respected speaker cables were.”

– David Smith, UK

“This cable seems to be able to justify its price with an air of quality to the sound which is often missing, even when spending considerably more than this. Both leads timed well, but the Silver was exemplary in this area and the effect this can have on the perceived drive to music makes it well worth listening to.”
