Tellurium Q Cables
Designed around a single stated goal: reducing phase distortion. They publish almost nothing about construction and ask to be judged on listening instead, which customers consistently do in their favour.
About Tellurium Q Cables
Quick Access
Tellurium Q build every cable around a single argument: any material in the signal path acts as an electronic filter whether the designer intends it or not, so the job is to make that filter as close to neutral as possible. Geoff Merrigan founded the company on that principle, coming to it from industrial chemistry and materials science rather than from audio.
The specific target is relative transient phase distortion, the smearing of the leading and trailing edges of sounds. The reference point is Bell Labs research from 1930 into phase distortion in speech, which found that distorted speech carried audible artefacts that were extraneous to the speech and transient in character. Tellurium Q state their focus as the phase relationships in a system, and they ask to be judged on listening rather than on published figures.
Cables are made in the UK, and the company holds the Queen's Award for Enterprise, granted in 2018 and again in 2021. The upper ranges use the company's own tellurium copper connectors, the material Tellurium Q takes its name from.
The power cable range runs from the Blue and Black families, through the Silver ranges, to the Diamond and Statement cables at the top. Each step is intended to carry the same tonal character further rather than change it, so moving up the range sharpens what you already have rather than giving you a different sound.
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.

From£2,350.00Ex. VATThe final piece in the puzzle for the Silver series of power cables. It has some of the “magic” of the Statement power cable because it came out of that same research and so is a smooth performer that brings your system to life. Which is relatively meaningless until you hear just what they can do for your system.

From£389.17Ex. VATThe Black cables by Tellurium Q were a multi-award-winning range, but Tellurium decided that to overhaul the whole series. The result is the Black II range, an upgrade on those already exceptional cables, but delivered at the same price as the previous generation! This product is the new version of the Black Digital XLR cable, otherwise known as AES/EBU. AES/EBU connections are usually found on very high-end equipment, and if you have a choice between AES/EBU and Digital RCA, we would always recommend AES/EBU as it comfortably outperforms the RCA equivalent with a resistance of 110-Ohm compared to 75-Ohm.
