Tellurium Q System Enhancement CD

 

Most music follows a form that can be calculated with a fourier transform analysis and time frequency analysis indicating it is not random, which simply means that your system can get into a “rut”. Like going to a gym and training only a few specific muscles for years and then wondering why your body is out of balance. This recording takes your system through a full workout of frequencies and tonal changes that is specifically designed to stretch your system’s components and bring new life into your music.

 

We place equal importance on all frequencies and even go into deep bass in a way that sub woofers will benefit from while working up through mids into the upper high frequency ranges in a non-sequential , non- Fourier way. There are also no pure ratio intervals to allow your system to slouch while it is having its work out. This is also one of the prime reasons that music played normally is slow to burn in components compared to this tool. Music does not cover your system’s range in a way that exercises the components sufficiently in a mechanical, electronic and magnetic sense to burn in your various components as efficiently.

 

What Is On The CD

  • Track One: A quick check that your cables are working and installed correctly and a pre check of your speaker drivers.
  • Track Two: The main burn in track, while you can play the whole recording in a loop repeatedly this is the main burn in track for new components in your system.
  • Track Three: A rapid yoga session for your system to wake it up and inject a little life in to your music.

 

 

About Tellurium Q Made in United Kingdom

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.

AI Review Summary — Generated from 19 Reviews

Most reviewers report noticeable sound improvements after using this system disc, particularly in clarity, definition, and dynamic range, with many noting it effectively rejuvenates older or dormant equipment. The product is widely praised for value and ease of use, with customers recommending specific tracks for different purposes. However, opinions diverge significantly: while the majority experienced genuine enhancements, two reviewers perceived minimal improvement or felt the treatment removed musicality from recordings. Build quality and service receive consistent praise. A recurring negative theme is the product's mechanism remaining unexplained, leaving some customers uncertain whether results reflect genuine technical improvement or placebo effect.

Excellent value 21 October 2025
Improved sound quality throughout, excellent purchase, and great service from Future Shop as always.

Unsure 15 June 2025
For me, I couldn't honestly say there seemed to be much difference after using tracks 2 & 3 on repeat. Maybe a little more background to some CDs, but I honestly didn't think there was a lot of improvement on my system, so I wouldn't recommend.

It works 21 March 2025
This was a bit of a sceptical punt. I have high regard for TQ cables, and all of my analogue cables are from them. TQ literature is, however, opaque about technology, but their cables are excellent, so it was worth trying the CD.

The cable testing track is OK for establishing left/right, but I would have liked something on phase, although there’s always the old-school method of facing speakers together to check this.

I didn’t need the burn-in track, so I went straight to the tune-up track and ran it twice without being in the room to avoid the noise assault. I have no idea how this works, and I was not sure it would, but it did. There were 20 minutes between before and after (and acoustic memory is known to be not particularly reliable), but, with the same volume setting, there was what I can only describe as better insight and ease across the full audible spectrum. I can’t discount acquisition bias, other than the fact that there is a return policy to counteract the bias.

The difference between expense and value 6 December 2024
If you have a hi-fi that can benefit from this, this is a worthy purchase. The highs are clearer, the blacks are blacker, and the bass is deeper and more defined.

Gives the system a work-out. Now for mine!
Krrn ✓ Verified Purchase
Definitely helped with my system 23 September 2024
It does seem to have brought my system to life, as I recently acquired some RAM150 speakers, which probably haven’t been used much in recent years. It also helped me burn in some new cables.

Perhaps weirdly, it was certainly unexpected. I actually like listening to it as well…

For the price, it is definitely worth the investment.

Nice wake-up call 26 June 2024
I couldn't understand why my system sounded so lifeless, but after using this CD, it's like it woke from hibernation!

Couldn't believe how good this disc is 23 June 2024
I used it to enhance my Technics CH 550 hifi system and couldn't believe how good this disc is. My system is over 15 years old, and the clarity has vastly improved.

I ran the disc on track 3 a few times, and it plays like brand new. So I tried it on my Bose Aqusticwave, which is 20 years old, and wow, beautiful crystal sound quality.

TQ System Disc, A Winner. 1 August 2022
Worth every penny. It is worth playing the middle track twice as suggested. I have tried other discs over the years, and they drop well short of the TQ one.
gerard ✓ Verified Purchase
Great but not that good 18 May 2021
This disc does clean up your sound very well. post CD the mix is surgically cleansed and all seems well. BUT the downside of this disc, and I presume all of these 'types' of treatments, is it completely removes the SOUL of the recordings. That is a shame because I think this is a good idea with a hangover.

THE Jane Fonda of Workouts!. 22 March 2021
This is a professionally produced CD that you don`t listen to..... so I played it at the volume suggested on the sleeve notes and went downstairs. I noticed my ceiling light fittings were "dancing" about!. This CD was giving my system a good workout without the strained leotards - only the cables were stretched this time.
I am recovering now with a lovely glass of Rioja and some music I haven`t heard reproduced so well before.

Having enjoyed listening to music for over 50 years this CD does work in reinvigorating your system.

Best £20 I have ever invested 21 January 2021
I keep upgrading cables, etc. Yes each new investment bring me a step closer to where I want to get, to be able to just listen and enjoy music. The Hi-Fi system is just a tool to that end IMHO. I read a couple of reviews about the System Disk and for £20 I thought I'll give it a try. So far I have only used the third track (short system wake up). I can not believe the 10 minutes of this track could make such a difference.

Everything is clearer, better defined with better sound staging (I guess that is a word). I can not believe the positive change in my system for a paltry £20. Definitely not snake oil. I highly recommend this product and Future Shop.

The cd is actually working to enliven my system that has bee 6 December 2018
The cd is actually working to enliven my system that has been in storage.. I am using the cd treatment daily and noticing the system progressively come to life as the cables reburn in , it isn’t a miracle cure but it seems to be working.

I just need a vinyl lp version to complete my whole system , it’s well worth the momey
Naim that tune ✓ Verified Purchase
It really works 19 October 2018
It really works. I was sceptical but took a punt and ordered one of these cds after reading good reviews. I found it not only works but the difference in sound after playing track 3 of the enhancement cd was much more obvious that I expected. A much more dynamic and lively sound with more sparkle across the frequencies - the sound really opened up.

If you can hear a difference between different cables then you will hear a difference after using this cd. A very cost effective improvement.
