Tellurium Q Statement II XLR Interconnect Cable - 1m (Pair)

Statement II XLR Cable

In terms of interconnects, in a fully balanced system a good XLR audibly out performs a good RCA. We will just say that this is the best XLR that we have ever produced and you will hear why. All the superlatives applied to the Statement cables apply to these XLRs and some!

Reviews & User Comments

Seems the reviewer was particularly impressed with the “restoration” of vocals and strings and mentions how real a cello sounded in the full review but here is just a snippet from the extensive review:

“Statement II is a wider soundstage It is undeniable that this balanced line [XLR] restores the human voice accurately and in a timely manner… Statement II seems to have unearthed a deeper message in the music… the sound is detailed and natural, the sense of power is real and the timbre is transparent”

– HiFi Review Magazine

“There is still that sense of naturalness to the sound as with the Statement 1s, but even more so in some way…can something be “more natural”, I don’t know and perhaps my choice of words is not correct. Perhaps a better way of describing the sound is from a sensory/reactionary aspect and what I would say is that the Statement 2s allow you to fall into the musical performance more easily and more rapidly than with the 1s. There’s a sound at 1 minute 37 seconds on I’m Always Touched By Presence that was much more apparent with the 2s than it was with the 1s.

The handful of words I would use to describe the Statement 2 cables from Tellurium Q is more detailed than the originals but without that detail being pushed down your throat, but with the same speed and sense of rightness..”

– Stuart Smith, HiFi Pig

“What Geoff Merrigan has achieved with this new version of Statement II is little short of remarkable. He took an already class-leading product and made it even better… The next generation of Statement was an audible step up from the mighty impressive original versions, and was most apparent with the XLR terminated versions…

If you have invested in the MkI version and are now feeling the urge to upgrade my advice would be to do it if you have the financial means…. only audition Statement IIs if you can afford them. You have been warned!”

– Chris Kelly, The Ear

“I can say without hesitation that this is one of the absolutely best sets of audio cables that I have had the opportunity to host.”

– Marek Dyba, HiFi Knights

“There is much more harmonic or musical detail… much more harmonic richness, harmonic musical detail coming through the system with the Tellurium Q Statement cables [compared to Silver Diamond XLR]….which makes the system sound more relaxed and more organic…..but there is actually more clarity than the Silver Diamond [XLR] because there is more musical information.”

– Terry Ellis, Pursuit Perfect System

“I believe it’s Tellurium Q’s masterpiece, adding more music taste, like to listen to Jazz, choose Statement XLR, can’t go wrong!”

– Steven Tam, HiFi Review Hong Kong

“But beware; once you hear what Tellurium Q is capable of you won’t forget the experience in a hurry”

– HiFi Plus Awards Edition

“The Statements stand alone….The Statements rewrite the book for cables and, at this very moment, as I write this review, completely stand alone in the market. In sonic terms, the Statement cables are breathtaking”

– Paul Rigby, The Audiophile Man

“Cables that make a difference … and how!”

“We are in front of a range of absolutely thrilling cables that, although not within reach of everybody, are far from the exorbitant prices that you can find in the High End audio universe, and show a sweeping sonic personality that puts them in place to revitalize absolute reference systems.”

“… the Statement Loudspeaker cable, dazzled us by the almost surgical presentation of the sound scene, with simply amazing depth.”

“Even more surprising are the line interconnect cables, that with particularly demanding recordings, impress by the degree of cleanliness” of voices and instruments.”

– Tu Alta Fidelidad

“The results will amaze you”

– Tone Audio Awards Edition

“These set a new standard that out performs all other cables we’ve heard”

– Jon Myles, Hi-Fi World

“I also love the dynamics that Statement delivers, even compared to similar beefy cables…..This is a telling piece and not an easy one to deliver in a domestic setting but with this cable it became realistic and totally compelling. At the other end of the scale, the quieter end, this cable is exceptionally good at pulling out the details that make a singer or instrument palpably real.

I could rave on about this extraordinary cable but realise that at this price you won’t believe me: the only way to find out is to listen for yourself. But beware; once you hear what Tellurium Q is capable of you won’t forget the experience in a hurry. You have been warned!”
