Tellurium Q Cables
British cable maker in Somerset, designing around one stated goal: reducing phase distortion in the cable. Tellurium Q publish very little about construction and ask to be judged on listening instead.
About Tellurium Q Cables
Quick Access
Tellurium Q and the phase distortion problem
Tellurium Q are unusual in two ways, and the second follows from the first.
The first is what they design for. Most cable makers describe their work in terms of conductor material and shielding. Tellurium Q describe theirs in terms of phase distortion: the tendency of a cable to smear the timing relationship between frequencies as the signal passes through it. Their position is that this is what listeners actually hear when they hear a cable, and that conductor exotica is a distraction from it.
The second is what they will not tell you. Tellurium Q publish almost nothing about construction, materials or geometry. They will not name a conductor metal. For some customers that is frustrating, the frustration is fair, and we would rather acknowledge it than talk around it. The company's answer is that construction detail invites people to judge a cable on paper instead of by listening.
What we can say from our own experience is that the range is unusually consistent in character from bottom to top, and that the differences between the ranges are easy to hear on a decent system.
Shop by Range
Tellurium Q run three families rather than one ladder, and each has its own character. Start by choosing the family that suits your system, then the level within it. Every family climbs through three steps: the base range, the Ultra version, then the Diamond version. The families interleave by performance rather than stacking, so a Silver sits above a Black but below a Blue Diamond. Statement sits above all nine.

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.
