Ultra Blue II looks pretty much exactly the same as the old Ultra Blue except for the “II” denoting the new generation cable. Plug in a burnt in Ultra Blue II after the old version and you will hear within seconds why we have upgraded this cable. The sound is fuller, more organic and better balanced in the whole range. The top end detail is still the same but everything else has risen to that performance level.
“Today we visited StudioAV and showed them the new Tellurium Q Ultra Blue II mains cable. We did back to back comparisons between a freebie mains cable, the Original Ultra Blue and the new Ultra Blue II.
We all agreed that the new Ultra Blue II was a notable upgrade over the original (and of course far far superior to the freebie cable). There are notable improvements in sound staging, integration, air around and palpability of instruments, clarity, and the micro-dynamics like the initial strike of a piano key or pluck / strum of a string, in particular it also shows a lovely way of bringing out female vocals and making them hang in space realistically.”
“Today it was time for a new upgrade of the hifi system. Ended up buying Ultra Blue II power cable and Ultra Black II RCA. The biggest surprise was arguably the power cord. rarely have I heard such an improvement in the whole soundscape. Sure I heard it from Jan Olav when we switched to Statement cables in his system, but had not expected such an improvement by just switching the power cable, and not by Ultra Blue II alone. ? When I also get something that sounds like a new CD player when the Ultra Black II RCA is connected, yes then the evening will not be much better here in the living room”
