Tellurium Q
Reveal the music – the first cables designed to combat phase distortion
Tellurium Q is the first range of cables specifically engineered to avoid phase-distortion. To achieve this goal, this made-in-England cable has received attention to every parameter, both electrical and mechanical. Conductor material, construction, doping and geometry; dielectric properties and vibrational damping – these along with perfectly balanced inductance, capacitance and resistance result in a cable range with unique virtues. By avoiding the time-smear and colourations that are caused by phase distortion, the nuances, dynamics and rhythmic insight of the performance are preserved.
They produce an extensive range of cables, including speaker cables, interconnect cables (analogue and digital including USB) plus power cables.
As mentioned above when Tellurium Q first launched, their primary focus was dealing with phase-distortion. The problem with this is a simple one; all of the materials (not just the actual conductor) in the path of a signal will act as an electronic filter which results in timing shifts in the cable and poorer sound quality as a result. During the R&D process Tellurium Q went to extreme lengths to ensure that all of the raw materials used in the construction of the cable do not play a negative role in how the cables performs and sounds.
Black and Silver
Because different equipment can have vastly different sonic properties Tellurium have designed 3 distinct ranges of cables, Blue, Black and Silver. Tonally these groups of cables are all quite different to another.
Here at Audio Therapy we place focus on the Black and Silver ranges of cables, depending on the tonal balance of your system and the type of presentation you like there will be a Tellurium Q cable to fit the bill. If you want to make your system richer sounding or more revealing the cable you require will differ.
Black Cables
The Black range of cables from Tellurium has been very popular and for good reason – this range covers Black II, Ultra Black II and also Black Diamond.
If you have a well balanced system and you are wanting cables that will show off your systems ability to render recordings with superb realism and incredible resolution whilst keeping the presentation natural, coherent with no harshness or aggression the Black is an excellent choice for those who have a well balanced system, the sense of scale is superb with excellent dynamics.
The Black cables give you a wonderful sense of space, texture and clarity whilst remaining natural and not forced or bright in any way.
Here at Audio Therapy the Ultra Black II and Black Diamond are the key models in this range. Whenever a customers compares Black II to Ultra Black II for example there is only ever one outcome, it cost more money, but the results speak for themselves, the same applies with Black Diamond, this takes the Ultra Black II and gives your greater bandwidth, more resolution and it makes the music more real sounding.
Silver Cables
The Silver range of cables are totally uncoloured, acting as a wide open channel sounding unforced, vivid and dynamic with phenomenal resolution and transparency. All this while sounding extremely analogue and coherent, from the exceptional top end extension to bottom with finely detailed, separated bass notes.
The Silver range will really show what your system is capable of delivering, it’s a fabulous group of cables and if you are wanting your system to be as transparent as possible whilst remaining natural and well balanced it should be right at the top of your audition list. Many assume that silver is a bit of a dirty word and they conjure up thoughts of silver cables being bright and aggressive sounding, not so here!
Within the Silver range we have Silver II, Ultra Silver II and Silver Diamond
