This is a difficult review for me to write and I don’t mind admitting it. First of all let me say that I am very much a cable 
sceptic and as such my experience with high-end and esoteric loudspeaker cables and interconnects is somewhat limited and the expensive audio cables I have listened to have left me decidedly underwhelmed. Having been involved in studios, radio, sound-systems and bands throughout my formative years, my thoughts are very much “buy something that is fit for purpose and stop worrying about it”. And that’s what I’ve done over the years: Of course I’ve played with pricier cables like pretty much all of us will have, but I have always sold anything I have bought on afterwards and resorted to “thickish” copper audio cables. Finally, I decided to stop messing about and settled on Van Damme Blue 4mm – it does the job perfectly well to my ears and has been in place for a couple of years or so. My ‘scientific’ background, as far as it goes, also suggest that two loudspeaker cables will carry the electrons to the speakers in exactly the same way… so long as they are fit for purpose. I’m also not prone to wild and exotic beliefs: I don’t believe in fairies or hobgoblins and I refuse to accept that there are angels looking over and protecting me.
Other members of the review team fall squarely in the believers camp when it comes to audio cables and all I do is post up their “findings”… when they’ve reviewed a bit of kit, particularly cables, their conclusions have sometimes astonished me. So, when I got a call from Tellurium Q suggesting I should try their Black Ultra speaker cables, I felt duty bound to inform them that I was a sceptic, with limited experience of expensive loudspeaker cables and they were probably wasting theirs and more importantly my time. Despite this they sent out a pair of the cables for me to have a play with. More »
