“The system CD is an absolute revelation. Thank you very much for the personal and rapid response. Thought I knew the bends [Radiohead] cd, have to reassess this.”

“Just ran the 10 min refresh track on my system. Reference track, ‘moon and moon’ sounds far better after the track three warm up. Like it was only playing a restricted set of frequencies before and now it’s wide open. Lovely! It occurs to me that using the Tellurium Q system disc is absolutely essential before any kind of critical listening. Your system gets locked into to playing certain pockets of frequencies depending on what material you’ve been playing, so it would make sense to open it up and recalibrate if you want to hear what’s really going on.”

“Gave my system the ‘work out’ with the enhancement cd last night. I quite enjoyed having the house rumbling away for an hour or so, especially the buzzing of shelves and rattling bottles in the kitchen! I thought it sounded like Brian Eno boogieing down with Karlheinz Stockhausen and Gyorgy Ligeti in a Breaking Bad meth lab. And was that The Chemical Bros. guesting on the last track? ?
Seriously though, I settled down to listen afterwards and you could have knocked me down with a feather. First impression was of a recessed soundstage with greater than usual depth. I always interpret this as being a result of better resolution of reverb information and thus clearer clues to spatial image. The bonus of a recessed soundstage being that one can raise the volume somewhat and the whole thing just gets bigger!!
A good start then. Then there were the vocals: more immediacy, focus, nuance and delicacy. Moments when the singer stops and yet was palpably still there just pausing before singing the next phrase. I never had that before. And so it went on with enhancements to every aspect of the music and I spent a long evening glued to my seat ?
What can I say, a delightful surprise. Now TQ cables are widely appreciated and I find myself wondering why you don’t provide the cd when people buy a set of your cables and then they would be even more impressed?
It will be interesting to see how often I feel the need to give the stereo another fix of the refresh track. “Please doctor, I can give up smoking but don’t take away my TQ enhancement cd!”
Is there a 24/96 or even 192 version available? ? Plans for a vinyl? Ho ho.
So far everything I have heard from TQ has turned out to be a delight. You guys seem to have an understanding of cables and electronics that must leave many other engineers very frustrated.
I can see myself ending up with a set of Black Diamond everything…
Long live TQ.”

“I would like to share with you my impressions about the Tellurium Graphite Digital RCA. I expected the typical not breaking in cable sound: harsh and analytic. But it was worse!! In addition to this, the cable didn’t had highs nor lows… It sounded like a rigid wire.
At this point I doubt seriously if it would be a good cable!!!
A little latter is when I discovered the Tellurium Q System Enhancement CD… it’s a CD about 70 minutes of playing time that comes in 3 cuts…. And at the end I saw the light!
It’s a break-in and system enhancement CD that plays a signal that signal that cover the whole hearing spectrum.
Oh my God!!! How good this cable sounds!!!
It has moved from earth to heaven… it delivers all the sound that your CD transport can offer… it’s quick, it’s firm, clean and has brutal dynamics!!!
It respect the highest and lowest frequencies… but it doesn’t widen nor reduce them… with a Divine entirety in the bass and a prodigious musicality in the highs.
Paco… you were right. I am very proud of this cable!!! And even more bearing in mind that it costs less than 1000€… everything it delivers and in the way it does it, it’s a very cheap cable!!!!”

“Many thanks for the CD, after reading Tony Boltons review in Hi-Fi World i just had to have a copy.
My set up is a Moon Supa Nova CD player with a Moon 600I amp fed by an Isotek Aquarius evo 3 mains filter into a pair of Totem Hawk loudspeakers with a pair of Audiosmiles bespoke supertweeters. And to my ears already sounded very good, but the difference the Tellurium CD makes is quite astonishing, more detail greater note and instrument separation ,brighter cleaner and fresher sounding with just a hint of sweetness.
Overall it is a very good instant system upgrade and all for £20, remarkable !
Every time i sit down for a good listening session the effects are instantly and clearly obvious.
many many thanks.”

“This is just to let you know that I finally got the CD yesterday. I must say that after playing the whole CD just once, my entire system (not only Ultra Blacks) has improved dramatically. Your product is absolutely brilliant. (By the way, I used burn-in CDs by two well-known British companies for extended periods of time, but they are nowhere near as good.)”

“I have been using the new CD and it is incredible for speeding-up the burn-in process – of not only cables.”

Arnd Rischmüller: System Disc
“After playing one track with the same volume before and after playing the Track Three on the Tellurium Q short system wake up the music comes out more vivid, more open and more room than it was before. It’s a big difference before and after and definitely the easiest way to enhance your system of playing or reproducing music on your system and by the way the most cost effective way of enhancing your system.”
