“After about five albums worth of extremely enjoyable listening I removed the Black Diamond from between my Lyngdorf CD2 transport and Lyngdorf TDAI3400 amplifier/DAC and installed the Silver Diamond. From the first moments of listening to One of These Days from Pink Floyd’s Meddle, I was absolutely astonished. The Silver Diamond took my immersion into the music that I know so well to another level completely. This was not a subtle change, a nuanced difference. This was like stepping from the audience onto the recording studio floor.

Of course you may find that one of the less expensive Tellurium Q options is more than adequate (and I can confirm that all the ones I have now heard are admirable performers), in which case buy that and spend the difference on music. On the other hand, you might just find that the £1,200 asking price for the Silver Diamond is in actual fact a bargain, as it takes your musical delight to levels which you thought were beyond your system’s reach, and will be a lot less expensive that changing major components.”
