FutureShop's Expert Review of the Tellurium Q Speaker Cables
This comprehensive review delves into the enigmatic world of Tellurium Q speaker cables, exploring their range and audio performance. Distinguished by three colour families—Blue, Black, and Silver—each offering unique sound characteristics, these cables are designed to enhance audio systems of varying qualities. Through in-depth testing with Billie Eilish's "Ocean Eyes," the review illustrates the cables' ability to elevate audio clarity, separation, and dynamics from the warm and cuddly Blue to the vibrant and detailed Silver Diamond. The review also touches on the secretive manufacturing process, suggesting a blend of technical innovation and mystical lore behind their exceptional performance.

What Tellurium Q say
Tellurium Q Black was Tellurium Q's first cable, and they knew they were on to something special when they took the prototypes to various dealers for their comments and input. One, in particular, would not believe it could match the thicker, more expensive cable in his demonstration system.
Tellurium Q sat down, and after listening to some tracks the dealer was familiar with, they swapped the cable for Tellurium Q Black. He sat forward, looked at Tellurium Q, and quite seriously asked what else they had done to his system while changing the cables. Only once he had swapped the cables himself, a couple of times, could he believe his ears. He immediately stocked the Tellurium Q Black. It is deceptively thin and it is small. By conventional thought it should not be able to do what it does and as well as it does it. That is why Tellurium Q has applied for a patent for one of the technological advances that facilitate its outstanding performance.
So why create Black II, despite its predecessor winning multiple awards, surprising owners with its performance, and more people than ever choosing to use it in their systems?
Tellurium Q have been learning and developing, and have developed ways to make this little gem even better. The only thing left to do was to give it to their customers. Switch Black for Black II, and the distinction is obvious. Once you hear the difference, it is also obvious why they felt compelled to upgrade Black in the way that they have.
We believe you will get more from your music, and hope that you love Black II as much as we do.
Contact Enhancer Option
To ensure the best possible connection between your system, Future Shop recommends the DeoxIT Gold G-Series contact enhancer.
DeoxIT Gold is carefully applied to the plug contacts of your cable and is a unique conditioning solution designed to improve conductivity and provide long-lasting protection on gold, base metals and other precious metal contacts and connections. DeoxIT Gold penetrates plated surfaces, molecularly bonding to the base metals to seal and protect both surfaces.
The benefits of applying DeoxIT gold are:
- Improved Conductivity
- Maintained optimum signal quality
- Reduced wear & abrasion
- Prevents fretting/dendrite corrosion
- Forms a protective anti-tarnishing coating
- Stabilises connections between similar and dissimilar metals
- Reduces arcing, RFI and intermittent connections
Please select this option from the above ‘Contact Enhancer’ drop-down menu and our engineers will apply the contact solution to your cable connectors prior to shipping.

"The Black II speaker cables are flexible, discrete, could easily fit under carpets or rugs and as such would be very easy to live with in nearly all domestic situations. They are a very light speaker cable and are therefore very well suited to use with book shelf speakers sitting on top of stands. All these often forgotten factors coupled with the overall sound quality at their price point are the reason I can happily award them Best Analogue Cable of 2018. They are a great introduction to what Tellurium Q are all about and if you like what these do, you will love what the other cables do higher up in the range."

“Black II is a completely different cable than Black. .. The smoothness of this cable is unique. Looking at both cables, not knowing that you need to look for a Roman “double” on a black outer jacket, we would say that they are the same cables. But let’s listen to them with a few songs, it does not take much time to come to the conclusion that really big changes took place between the new and the old version.”

“I changed to the Black II after a few tracks and was so flabbergasted by the improvement again that I didn’t bother going back to the Black.
It really was night and day. What struck me the most was how natural and clear the cable sounded with no nasties or obvious short comings. Now I know it can’t be perfect, and Geoff told me wait till you hear our pricier cables (oh dear), but I can’t remember hearing such a difference so easily, which makes my life a lot easier both as a reviewer and simply a listener. Isn’t that what good kit should be about.”

“This is definitely a big win for Tellurium Q’s Geoff Merrigan and company. To state it plainly; there is not a speaker cable that I have heard that comes close to the Black II’s performance and whose cost roughly translates to less than $150/meter. The cables are not big or thick but are built very nicely and come with your choice of bananas, spades or both.
Tellurium Q plays it close to the vest when it comes to technical information, but as far as sonics go, I was greatly impressed by their performance. I spent a lot of time crawling around between my speakers and amps, swapping them in and out and back in because I could not believe how well they performed. They performed equally as well on planar speakers as they did with dynamics. I found their sound to be smooth over-all, with an open and airy top-end, and with extended bass and a slightly warm midrange.”

About Tellurium Q
Tellurium Q cables offer a unique approach to cable performance, focusing on minimising phase distortion, a common problem inherent in all cables. The Tellurium Q team understands that all signal path materials act as electronic filters, impacting the naturalness of vocals and overall audio quality.
Instead of ignoring this issue, Tellurium Q embraces it, and engineers cables that provide a clear path for the signal, aiming for the most natural sound possible with current technology. Their construction involves multiple stranded conductors of varying materials, dielectric materials, and geometries. Every detail, from solder mixes to plating thicknesses, is carefully considered.
Tellurium Q has developed three distinct families of sound to cater to different customer preferences: the Tellurium Q Silver range offers silver-like characteristics without harshness, the Tellurium Q Black range (including the Tellurium Q Black Diamond) provides transparent and lifelike reproduction, and the Tellurium Q Blue range adds a slight warmth to balance brighter systems. Each range is designed to enhance the audio experience uniquely. They strive to offer a clear, transparent, and natural listening experience and invite customers to hear the exceptional results of their work for themselves.
Having entered the Hi-Fi scene in 2010, Tellurium Q has won several coveted awards and global recognition. With their extensive range of top-tier cables available in 37 countries, they've accumulated 154 exceptional reviews and 14 'Products of the Year' awards from international Hi-Fi magazines. They have twice received the 'Queen's Award for Enterprise' in recognition of their remarkable export growth. Tellurium Q's uncompromising commitment to excellence ensures its products are not just good or average but exceptional, offering customers the best available in its price range.
