    Hi Blake, How you doing buddy? My amp is on Tellurium SD straight out of the power socket (Furutec). It does not go thorugh my Triton conditioner. Tellurium was the one who recommended I do it and they were soooo right. As for the rest, my DAC has a SD as is the Gaia. The rest are on Tellurium...

    Hi Guys, Been out cause of workload, I just upgraded my PC to my Gaia from a Tellurium Silver to a Silver Diamond and damn.....it makes a difference. The guitar has so much weight to it now and the mids are to die for.

    Hi @Todcakes, Thank you for the kind words, Rome was not built in a day sir. Take your time and enjoy the upgrade ride. Take it slow and enjoy it. If you could please share your upgrades. If you don't mind, keep a look out for used gear as well. As for me, I started with Tellurium's Black range...

    Hi guys, I'm using Tellurium Black Diamonds as my clock cables, they replaced Canare cables which I had got while waiting for the BD arrival. I also have some SoTm clock cables in my system and they too are really good. As for Power cords, I'm on Tellurium Silver Diamond on my TP and Silver on...

    That's exactly what I got. Let's just say, they made up for it, well at least my audio guy did. He's the best.

    Hi @Blake, I have been informed that the cable has been pulled back as they are having some issues with getting it to work on certain systems, mine happens to be one. It's back to the drawing board for them I guess. Meanwhile, I just have to wait patiently I guess.

    Hi @Alsatian , You are only as good as your weakest link boss. There is a whole market out there for dedicated streamers for a reason and rightly so. Just look at the Taiko thread, having said that, enjoy the ride. Be patient and audit your gear before taking the plunge and yes, streamers do...

    Welcome @Todcakes , May your life be now blessed with many hours of audio nirvana. They scale very well with footers and cables, sadly for our wallets. Take baby steps, but having said that, straight out of the box you will be introduced to a very superior sounding piece of kit. Happy listening.

    Hi Blake, There was a technical hiccup, I was not getting any sound after plugging it in, there was only some static. The cable works fine with most other DACs but some how its not on the TP. Tellurium are now working on it and it should be resolved soon. I know it sounds weird right, and to...

    Hi @RikkiPoo, For those of us who have the TP, it's definitely wise to take advantage of the TP clock if its mated with their DDC, having said that, the clock in the Gaia is no slouch either, it is pretty darn good. The clocking cables make a difference too and please scroll through to see...

    Network Improvements and their Impact on Sound Quality

    Hi @justubes, I’m using Tellurium Silver on my farads, Silver Diamonds are powering my SPEC amp and another is on my TP. I’ll be upgrading one more Silver to the SD soon which is currently on my Gaia. I will stop after that probably, too much of a good thing can be bad. LOL

    Network Improvements and their Impact on Sound Quality

    Hi, I'm using a combination of Tellurium Silver and Silver Diamonds to power my Farad 3s' which in turn power my digital front. I was running sps-500 before upgrading thanks to @kennyb123. Ya, I know its a bit crazy with the cords which cost much more than the hardware itself but, tell u what...

Just got word that Tellurium are going to release a Statement version of their USB cable. Looks like a another trade-in is in the pipeline. Currnetly running 2xSD USB . Hope its...

    Hi Blake, What footers are u using on the TP? If I may. I’m using Cerabase now, wondering about stillpoint.

    Hi Blake, I sooooo agree with you man. I kinda stumbled on OS on the TP and it really is darn damn good. I was not a fan of OS anything but the TP has changed this now. I was also toying arnd with some footers and found that the TP reacts quiet a bit to certain footers as does the Gaia. I now...

    SOtM sNH-10G Network Switches x2 : The NEW KING of USB/Network Gadget Setup

    Guess I would have to lay my hands on one to hear for it for myself. Let's see, but for now, I'm very happy what the Farad is supplying. I've also been wondering how the Ultimo mathches up to the PH models. But, that's for another day. Don't want to go off topic buddy. Happy listening and stay...

    SOtM sNH-10G Network Switches x2 : The NEW KING of USB/Network Gadget Setup

    There is always something better out there buddy and the rabbit hole is very deep. Guess, there has to be a line drawn with how far we want to take it. I’m very happy with the Farads and what they offer for the money spent. The PH units am sure are a brilliant LPS but at almost 2.8k SGD per unit...

    SOtM sNH-10G Network Switches x2 : The NEW KING of USB/Network Gadget Setup

    I so agree with you @auricgoldfinger regarding the sensitivity of the soTm, my choice of LPS is the Farad 3 with Orange fuse, cable powering it is a Tellurium Silver, prior to this I was running the Farad without the Orange fuse and Tellurium Black cables. Oh btw, my DC cables are Mundorf...

    Hi ahton82, Welcome to WBF and Denafrips thread. May we know your upstream and downstream gear so that we can help you spend more money. LOL. Jokes aside, what other DACs do you have experience with prior to the Pontus? Do share if you can, much appreciated. Stay safe.
