Hello.

I got my cables yesterday, and all cables are in good shape. And looking great.

Right from the box, the TMC cabel played better than my WireWorld Eclipse Gold 5.2..

So this is heaven.

Hi King!

I finally got to hook up the new cables I bought from you and again like last time I am so impressed with the sound and quality, thank you.

However, the speaker cables are a bit awkward with the small amp I am hooking them up to and need to be a bit longer. I wonder whether it is possible to do an exchange and for me to pay the difference and postage to you for a 1.5 m pair with the bayoneted plugs on the amp end and normal 8mm spades on the speaker end.

Is this possible?

The 1.0m speaker wire set has only been used to test the set up for about 20 mins last night and is still as completely new. I brought them into today to work to post off back to you.

Thanks, Simon

Hi King,

thanks ever so much for speedy service. Your interconnect cables have improved my listening experience immensely. I would recommend your cables to anyone. I will be upgrading to your speaker cable in the near future.

kind regards

From my experience a lot of 'bravos':

Your cables (I hooked everything up: white, yellow and speaker cables all together) are fantastic. They didn't had time to burn in and within seconds I could hear micro-informations, more precise soundstaging and, above all, rightness of timbre.

And I'm talking about my own recordings, that I know how they should sound as I was there during the concert and I edited them and mastered them.

I also had the time to listen to commercial recordings (Chesky, Deutsche Gramophon, Hungarophon) and I have to use the 'cliche' words: I've re-discovered my collection of music. I wonder what will be the result after 100h of burning in!

Some time in the future, when your cables and I will be accustomed to each other, I'd like to test your balanced cables. As I said before I do a lot of classical recordings (50 to 70 a year) and I'm in touch with a lot of professional people. If I could convince them of the superiority of your cables (especially mic and line cables) it can open you to a whole new market.

Regards,

Jean-Christophe Xerri

Hello.

About a year ago I bought from you yellow + white interconnents + speaker cables. I′am very happy with them,

but I have a small problem. I have a couple of 2 meter speaker cables / single wire / and I would like to try bi-wire.Can I buy from you another pair of single wire cabels or better to buy a pair of bi wire cabel. The question is: In the bi wire cabel two identical cables, or one cable for treble and another cable for the mid / bass / Please for your advice.

Thank you Jiri, Prag.

I've installed the yellow label IC and the gold ref speaker cable in my system.

From the moment I turned my system on a few things immediatly were obvious. The TMC cables gave a great balance, no stressed highs and no fluffy lows. This made the music come through very well, and even made some old recordings more listenable than before.

I really believe the cables are tough to beat at this price point.

King is very quick and helpful in his email responds, so that made doing business with TMC delightful.

Even when I wanted to send a set of cables back because they wern't needed anymore there were no problems, and I got a refund although it took some time since we had some problems making the transfer over this distance.

Big plus for King and TMC.

Bart,

Thanks King,

The Yellow Cables are settling in nicely - much more head room and air around instruments, as other happy customers have noted.

The big improvement I've noticed is in the bass of my venerable B&W 801s. It's much more tightly controlled - much less inclined to take over the music, but still very present.

Having fun listening to what Bach does with the instrumental accompaniments to his cantatas.

Cheers,

Michael

Hi King!

LOVE the cables, thank you for the brilliant customer service. I'm no audiophile but the cables improved the clarity and crispness of my system. I was just thinking last night how good the system sounded, love it.

Thanks, Simon

PS I'll leave some feedback on your site this week, I'm a bit snowed under today it being the first day back!

G'day King,

As much time as the extraneous living of an ordinary existence allow (about

35 hrs short of the recommended 50) to listen to the cables since they were

received these are my short observations of their characters in my system.

The Yellow Label is a more balanced cable than the White Label. The latter

moves it's energy spectrum slightly higher in the frequency range giving an

impression of better resolution and a more articulate bass but the down side

is it's thinner sounding, slightly on the bright side and less warmth. The

Yellow Label is slightly closer to neutral. The Gold Reference retains much

of the characters of the interconnects but loses a degree of transparency.
(King: a bit more burn in will do the trick...)

With all three cables in my system the sound stage is massive and forward.

It's somewhere between a 'second row' and 'the performers are sitting on my

lap' presentation. Pace and rhythm is excellent and details is very good,

especially on the interconnects. However I'd still like a bit more warmth.

The biggest benefits are better transparency (the presentation is more physically palpable),

focus (moves the performers back to just in front of the speakers), better image depth and

more bass weight. The downside is some bass colourations with less speed and

articulation.

Tomorrow I'll experiment with two Yellow Labels and the Gold Reference.

Regards,

The

Hi King,

I received the Gold Reference speaker cables last Friday and have already done a fair bit of the burning in (about 25 hours). My system is bi-amped and I have put the Gold Reference cables on the top. Previously I have been using Straight Wire Maestros. The Gold Reference cables are significantly more detailed with better imaging and have maintained the sweetness of my system. My equipment includes: Infinity Renaissance 4 way speakers with the bass amped by Threshold stasis 7 Class A 100 w and VTL 100 w tube mono blocks on the top, Marantz SA11A SACD player and Audio Electronic Supply pre-amp (by Carey).

Best regards

Hi King,

I am writing to say that the Gold reference cables have steadily improved after maybe 60-70 hours and are as detailed and sweet as. Separation and sound-staging are magnificent and true audiophile quality. Transparency is also top class. It seems as though even further improvement yet may be in the wings. The rest of my equipment being pretty high-end serves to highlight the capabilities of these cables. I am certainly surprised given their lightness and diameter.

Cheers

Nigel

Hi King

I've been burning in my cables and interconnects and have them connected up to my new speakers..... Both have had about 80hrs burn in time and have just started to seriously listen to the synergy between the cables and the rest of the system. So far so good, really notice the 'silence' offered by the shielding on the cables and the music rises beautifully from this background. The interconnects and coaxial are really good and get clean detailed reproduction. I was afraid of my system sounding too 'bright' but I should have had no fear.... The detail is great and 'the music sounds fantastic. The sound-stage is wide and separation of instruments and voices in wonderful. Good quality recordings come alive with the cables and interconnects. So really happy so far and expect things to get better as new speakers and cables + interconnects bed in. Will post on your website to offer recommendation, and also highlight the fantastic customer service you have offered me, which these days is a massive massive plus. — Thanks to you for that.
I'm in process now of upgrading my DAC and buying a new CD transport, so can't wait to hook this up to my system. I will look at using you cabling and interconnect on my second system.
Will keep eye on your website. I just hope that you are getting enough Australian customers, and will spread word of mouth of your great Aussie product as I try and support good Australian companies when they offer premium products i.e. I also buy from Gary Cawsey another great aussie product and customer service.

Best Wishes

Colin

Hi King,

I've received the cable, thanks for the super fast delivery, those cables surely looks awesome, can't wait to try it out tonight.

WOW!!!!... can't believe how great the speaker cables are, and all these are before it even burn-in?

the first impression is the detail of the sound, the clarity and the stage. I simply can't believe it.

it also remove some of the forwardness of my amp, the music and vocal sounds more natural then previous.

I can't wait til the cables are burn-in.

I will come back for the white labels ;)

once again, thanks for making such a great cable at affordable price.

Cheers.
Daniel

Where do I start. I received my white label interconnects 2 weeks ago and already own the TMC Gold speaker cables.

The Gold speaker cables transformed the sound of my system and I have already left feedback about them on this site so I won't go into them.

I have been meaning to get the white labels for some time and was at the point just before ordering them of buying another amp, due to my disatisfaction with the overall musical experience, in no way attributable to my other components.

I thought I had better try the interconnects for their relatively small outlay before buying another amp, and boy am I glad I did. These white labels have done the trick. I was a bit dubious as to whether they would make as big a difference as the Gold speaker cables: well they did and I can only call it a synergy.

My initial impression as compared to my previous interconnects was of the disappearance of any smearing or phase discontinuity in the sound. Everyting sounded cleaner with more air and atmosphere, and a tangible 3d quality to the imaging. The bass seems more defined and with better weight and the midrange up has a realism that is so natural.

The imaging is incredible with instruments and vocals appearing in their own space way outside the speaker boundaries and pleasantly leaving me with that, how can that be feeling. I now have great sense of depth in the recordings where previously the images were compressed into a very shallow stage as if the musicians were playing on a 1 metre deep stage.

I will be highly recommending these cables to my friends.

These cables have allowed my system to breathe and come to life.

Thanks for great products.
Darren Black.

Hi King,

My system has "evolved" since 2001 into the stratospheric performance range...But, I've never had a need or desire to change your speaker cables out to anything else. Wonderful sound....especially with very long runs from Amps necessitated by position of listening room furniture.

Hi King,

I just want to let you know that I have actually received the Yellow Interconnect pair back since Thursday morning, and I have not yet taken the time to sit down to have a first listen until today this morning.

My first impressions on the Yellow are, to be honest, very promising with only (very) picky minor complaint.
But most of the time, I was simply astounded by how each and every instrument or layer, no matter what genre of music, has a soft, friendly, yet distinct presentation of how it sits in relative to its' surroundings. I believe that this is what I perceive as 'musical cleanliness' that I have not yet experienced before from just interconnect upgrade, considering that my previous and first ever owned interconnect uses cryogenically treated copper.

My equipment does produce an unfriendly aggression in the mids and highs production from time to time. But now with the Yellow cables - I truly love the effect of 'air pockets' around & between instruments that helps me differentiate levels of information, with less fatigue and stress. And interestingly enough, I notice the separation's ability MUCH better presented when listening at slightly lower volumes.

Best of all, I have already experienced the above benefits (or just starting I guess) out-of-the package without even spending any time burning in the cables.

If I have ever to be really picky, it would be the fact that the construction material can so stiff to the point where I have taken more time to organise space and positioning of my ancillaries (between my CD Player, DAC, and tube headphone amp).

Overall, my greatest thanks for you to produce such a fine product at a generous price.

Kind Regards,

Andrew W.

Hi King

Jumper cables arrived today, and I have installed them on my NAD 352 (with Arcam 73 CDP, Castle Richmond 3i speakers) I’m listening to them now - nicely made cable and no problem to install following the instructions on the website. Initial reaction is this is a worthwhile tweak, I’m listening to some of the more difficult recordings I have and I think these jumpers have removed two nasty little cost compromises out of my amp. Overall the sound has been cleaned up; everything seems to be resolved more completely for instance cymbals are sounding more realistic, sound is less congested and everything seems to be hanging together more musically, soundstage seems deeper. :-)

A long weekend is coming up in Vic so I will be able to enjoy a good listen, I will post some feedback once I have had a listen for few weeks.

Thanks for the prompt service all in all I am very impressed with both the service and the product, I will need some interconnects later in the year so you will be at the top of my list.

Thanks James

King, just wanted to let you know that after 20 hours, I feel like
these are among the best cables in any price range! So natural timbre!

Dear King,

Started testing the cables right out of the box as you suggested
without any burning in.

The first things I notice are the good control of low and an overall
good focus of the speaker cables, and they seem fast.

The interconnects seem to emphasize mid range a little more than the
rest of the spectrum. This is not a critism however, as I personally
prefer this. Very relaxed, enjoyable sounding,

By the way, I am not sure if this is a psychological thing because of
the stiff surroundings of the cables, but I feel like they are
exceptionally clean sounding.

I haven't evaluated the soundstage yet, I will give some time for
burn-in before.

Even after a few hours of burn-in, I feel like I will be impressed
with the cables. I will write you more details later.

Hi King,

Just letting you know that my cables arrived safely, yesterday (Sunday)
thanks to Australia Post’s extra deliveries for Christmas.

Wow! They are stiff! I was expecting them to be stiff, but not quite as
stiff as they are. However, that was not a problem, as I decided that I
was going to take as much time as required to get them in place correctly.

After about an hour and a half, I had my system replumbed and ready to
go again. Early into the exercise, I realized that it is more like a plumbing
job, than a cabling exercise, carefully moulding the copper pipes into shape.

I have to be honest and say that having ordered my new cables, I was a little
worried that they may not be as good as what I had, as my system was really
singing, or so I thought. However, I thought that with the 45 day money back
guarantee, I couldn’t go wrong.

Well, straight out of the bag, I think they are performing better than my old
Chord cable and interconnects, and after about 12 hours or so of use, they
are continuing to improve. This is in conjunction with the fact that I am also
running in a new pair of monoblocs.

Initial thoughts are:

Great detail

Very neutral

No background noise (this is not new for me, as I didn’t have any before)

Very musical (you are so correct about not turning on, or you’ll be late)

Hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and that 2008 is a great year for you.

Regards,
Chris.

PS. You can probably hear my music and see my smile from Adelaide!!

(Yes, I can hear his music when I turn mine down a touch....but I can imagine the smile :-).....King

Hi King.

White interconnects - Excellent. The installation / some 5-10 minutes / NO PROBLEM. This cable isn´t stiff. Bent cable keeps position.

Sound is very comfortable for me. I´m very satisfied.

I´d like to buy Yellow interconnects + Gold speaker cables.

Thanks Jiri

My music just sounds right now. I won't get into superlative descriptives. It has all been said before about these cables.
I didn't believe I would hear as big a difference as I have but I was secretly hoping, and am really happy with the result.
In a perfect world you would get a set of these speaker cables with every sound system sold. There signal honesty should be the minimum compulsory for all to enjoy who love music.
I had been disappointed with the sound of my system up until purchasing these cables and wondered why my gear never sounded the way it should. These cables have given my system synergy so that now I know I'm getting the sound I paid for.

Thanks for making great cables at real world prices.
Yours sincerely,
Darren Black.

Just want to let you know that i just bought two stereo pairs of TMC white

BTW – I’m ordering these cables based on a trusted friend’s advice who said that your Yellow Label annihilated some Cardas Golden Reference in a head to head comparison. “Especially in the mids” were his words.

I dont know why the reviews for these cables on this site have been few and far between recently (Note from King: he is trying to post a review of TMC at the audioreview....) as they remain an outstanding 'price no object' option. They are neutral (very revealing of source variations) and extremely quiet (ie no hiss) . Accordingly they are capable of making a hi fi sound more like an ensemble...they let the detail through with an outstanding 3d quality and spaciousness crucial to more closely replicating live music. I have recently switched my entire cabling system to TMC from a much more expensive audioquest/acoustic zen combination and as per earlier audio industry reviewers of TMC I have settled on this as it provides the most satisfying presentation I have ever experienced from my sytem . Audiophoolery is of course a subjective pursuit but the parameters that generally matter to the music lover and the audiophile are nailed by a tmc system. Youre welcome to check out my review on the Gold speaker cabling and the new tmc blue 75ohm dedicated digital cable in the Gold review section. I am not affiliated with TMC....I dont write reviews that are not part of my professional life because of time pressure.... this is written because a small company is providing an outstanding product at an excellent price which is devoid of the usual advertising mark up.

Strengths:
neutral, absolutely silent background,soundstaging masters

Weaknesses:
Not expensive enough

Hi King,

The 'black over red' cables looked good on your website. The 'black over gold' looks even more fabulous (Note from King: 'black over gold jacket will be the new dress for our Gold Label Reference Speaker Cable from now...new photos coming soon...)...too bad they tend to be mostly hidden when installed. Nice to know that I am one of the first few to have these new colored ones.

I will be happy to provide my thoughts and experiences with these cables once these have been fully burned in, and to tell all my music friends about it. My entire system is now fitted with the TMCs that I had ordered last week.

Upon installation, the treble was very solid and clear, with a virtually black background. But there was almost no bass and the midrange was average sounding . After 5 hours, the bass has now appeared with weight and authority, and is well balanced with the rest of the sound. Similar too with the midrange.

All of this is common with what others have said about the cables. However, what is surprising is that I am noticing all these on my ancient 18-year old, harsh sounding budget speakers. When I finally upgrade to a decent pair of speakers in a few months time, the cables would have been well cooked by then...I can only imagine how good they will sound :)

Thanks again and best regards,

Ramesh

Hi King,

Fantastic cables. They are high quality cables that look and sound good! The cables have given my system the imaging and soundstage that I never knew existed. I'm now hearing instruments and sound that I'd never heard before in my favourite cd's. I'm totally enjoying my music now and I will not hesitate to recommend the TMC cables to anyone looking for good quality cables.

Hi King,

Received Cables today thank you.

Had a quick listen hooking up "White" from a DVD player to Denon integrated

and wow, much clarity on CD. Will hook all up to Elektra system over the week-end

where they were purchased for.

I will let you know my thoughts after a good listen in due course. (May need

to buy another cable for the secondary Denon system) Damn

Thanks for the prompt service!

I received my 1.5-meter pair of XLR/XLR Truly Balanced interconnects on June 13, 2007. I immediately installed them into my music system, and was pleased with the great sound that I heard. Thanks again for this wonderful cable. I do not have a digital camera to show the interconnects in my system. But, please envision 4 green umbilical cords between my Pass Lab

X-1 preamp and my X-250 power amp (a thing of beauty)! Also imagine my beaming face when playing my music system.

I'll be keeping your cables. I've had them plugged in for the last 2 weeks and went back to my old cables. I ultimately preffered the sound of yours. They sound sweeter and less fatiguing that's for sure.

Hi King,

When I initially purchased your cables, I intended to connect the Trenner & Friedl speakers to a Van Alstine hybrid pre-amp/power amp combo; a Rotel DVD player and a Van Alstine tube DAC. I've made changes.

Burning in the White Label cables required a week, or so.The improvement was clear. But it was not until I purchased and installed the Yellow Lable interconnects and Speaker Cables that the old system began to "sing". the Yellow Lablr cables required twice as much burn-in as the White Labels. After which time, they offered impressive detail, more bass and percussion was well... percussive!

The Speaker Cables were relatively unimpressive, at first; neither detracting from nor adding anything to the elements of the audiochan that preceded them. But, over time, these speaker cables gradually revealed more and more of the detail and dynamics the old speaker cables had been filtering out of the system: bass was more profound, purcussion had still greater impact, highs soared without being shrill, massed voices (The Persuasions) became a group of individual voices and the sound stage opened and deepened.

Many years ago, I'd purchased and experimented with Monster, Kimber and Audioquest cables and interconnects and convinced myself they added negligible, if any, improvement. More recently, I'd experimented with Siltech and other cables and found that the cost didn't justify the improvement they sometimes offered.

Your cables, very simply offered a palpable improvement, against a background of absolute silence, to both systems I used them in, at a cost I could live with. I will be ordering additional White Lable interconnects for use between my tuner and DVD player, and integrated amplifier. My Yellow Label cables have found a new home in a friends system.

Yours,

Miguel

I will be taking a set of balanced leads to my brother in-law next weekend to try on his system. You never know. Still can’t believe the difference in top, mid and base TMC balanced cables have made to my listening system. When I save a bit more you will get another call for my home ent system.

Cheers

Happy New Year to you too. Straight away I noticed a smoother but slightly more detailed sound with them. There was a certain part of a certain track that I always found a piercing with my old cables and the new ones have at least partially cured that, that was my intial test. I'm going to give my system a more serious listen to this week with the new cables and i'll let you know the overall conclusions. So far so good with the cables, thank you.

Regards,

Paul.

What can I say but THANK YOU. Just connected the leads and can not believe the difference they have made. FANTASTIC!!

Hi King,

This is to confirm that I recd the cables today. The delay is from Custom's side in Bangalore. Actually it has arrived Bangalore FGN PO from Mumbai on 13th itself.

Since my office is close to my residence, I couldn't wait till evening for trying the cable. During lunch time, went home & just hooked up the int connects & played for 5-10 minutes. I could make out the immediate difference in sound quality. What diff you ask? "your cables are not just cables they are MUSIC CABLE". I'm yet to hookup the speaker wire & jumpers & 've to carry out burning in for some time for the critical listening. Though ICs are stiff, I didn't find absolutely any problem in connecting them.

Probably in another 2-3 days I'll give you the feedback. I may feel like upgrading my whole electronics :-). I'll post my excellent opinion & recommend your cables to all audiophiles.

I'll revert back to you soon. As I had mentioned, kindly work on power cords also.

King, thanks for all your support & understanding.

G'day mate,

I received the shipment yesterday, and have the Music Cables installed now (Holy Stiffness Batman! lol). They sound awesome, and I will be back in the future for more of your cables as I continue to refine my setup.

Happy Holidays and New Year,

Scott Rhodes

Well King you did say I would hear the difference ‘right out of the box’ and I did – however not necessarily for the better, with my initial impression being that the base was out of control. Having read reviews by various customers I persisted and ‘burnt’ in the cables over a period of 25+ hours before really listening to them.

After two weeks with the TMC’s connected, my partner and I decided to change back to our original setup to see how we would be affected. The plan being to listen to them for one week before changing back to the TMC’s for a final week and drawing our conclusions.

After just three days we were back to the TMC’s with my partner, whom has never understood my need to spend large amounts of money of HiFi, admitting they did sound better. The very next day I walked in on my partner, in our lounge, in full flight, conducting Beethoven’s 8th Symphony ‘Ode To Joy’, totally caught up in the performance and totally oblivious to my presents, as a smile crept across my face.

I have always said and still say to this day that vinyl is superior to CD, but believe CD will always win in the end because of its mobility and ease of care in comparison to vinyl. Vinyl however delivers so much more, a three dimensional, rich, fuller sound and I make the same comparison between TMC cables and my original setup.

‘The Moon’ (Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova – THE SWELL SEASON) sounds so honest with an edge, a rawness that is much more engaging. The resonance of the cello in ‘Wish you were here’ – remix (Bliss – QUIET LETTERS) moves right through me and ‘We Come 1’ (Faithless – OUTROSPECTIVE) takes your heartbeat through the roof.

I’m sure some people will not hear, or should I say ‘feel’, the difference but it’s there and it’s worth every cent. We have over time gotten used to a sterile, clinical sound and as some would say ‘can no longer hear the music’. The music TMC allows though is both believable and engaging, so much so that listeners may well find themselves dancing or, God forbid it, singing along with the music, for all they are worth.

My final words – I will not be returning them – anyone need two sets of second hand interconnect and a pair speaker cables?

Thanks, Steve Wilson (Sydney Australia)

Cables (original set up):
• Van del Hul M.C D 102 MK III Hybrid interconnect
• Nodost Flatline Gold MkII, bi-wireable speaker cables

Dear King

I guess that the cables have burned in about 30 hours. I would like to express my impressions with you before my ear-brain forgets my original sound.

I connected 1 mt TMC XLR/XLR digital green from Accustic Arts transport to Kora Hermes 24/192 DAC and 1 meters of TMC White Label RCA/RCA interconnect from DAC to A Consulting Silver Rock passive transformer pre. A pair of 2,5 meters long TMC Yellow Label RCA interconnects are plugged in to pre through Audio Note Quest Silver monoblocks.

A pair of TMC Gold Label Reference loudspeaker cable is connected from power amps to mid and treble units of Avantgarde Unos separately and a tail is connected from mid unit to bass unit. In other terms bass is connected via midrange bridge due to bass cable was short to connect from amplifier directly. I am expecting another pair of 100 cms long cable to make a direct three wire connection from amplifier to bass/mid/treble units as I used to.

I have been using my own design of digital and interconnect cables at my system which are I believe state of art design. Two pairs of them took almost a year to complete. They are air dielectric, triple shielded, combination of 2 strand of 0,1 and 2 strand of 0,01 mm (thinner than human air) 0,9999 purity of Swiss silver, very difficult to construct and impossible to solder without using a crimp. Besides, all the cabling are AC polarized shielded and runs together with active shielding unit of Synergistic Research. All cables are lying in sand filled thick tube to eliminate ringing effect and mechanical distortions. Very simple version one of that cable is communicated at the link below; http://www.nonamehifi.com/ForumEN/ForumDetails.php?CatID=7&ID=175

These cables outperformed so many good brands several times so eventually stabilized at my own system.

My loudspeaker cables are Stealth Hybrid MTL gold/silver/copper multi strands custom designed three wires for my set-up. They are very natural sounding, full bodied but a not so much open, a bit dark and less airy compared to Stealth Ultimate Ribbons. I preferred them to UR due to their neutrality.

I connected TMC gold labels to my system as described above and started listening.

What were immediately appearing were the quietness, relaxation and inertia of the sound. It was similar to the effect of adding a good AC filter to mains signal. I have to admit that I never witnessed that any cable added such quietness to system before. In my hi-end history, AC filters, room treatments, separate earth (grounding), vibration absorbers etc brought such improvement but never cables so far !!

Layering of soundstage, width and depth are increased, small details at sound become more evident and distinctive. Placements of elements of a trio an orchestra became much evident and lifelike.

I wonder if that quietness is mainly or partly the result of the perfect shielding method that you are using.

Besides above, mid bass and lower mids become fully rich, tight and open. Lower octaves of every string-brass instruments or vocals become much richer, natural and fully bodied. Upper and lower octaves of bass were tight, rich and effortless.

Bass, mid bass, midrange authority and purity of TMC Golds are awesome.

They carry out the listening pleasure to another level.

As a general description, from my point of view, TMCs can be described as honest, authoritive, non-coloured, non-artificial but a bit cold and a bit mechanical sounding cables. Their characteristics are closer to German kind of sound compared to English, Scandinavian or French sounds (in terms of electronics) or closer to Wilson Audio Speakers compared to Italian made Sonus Faber speakers.

If I have to criticize them, the only thing I have to say is the little-bit roll of at upper frequencies. Treble area of TMC golds are may be the only short come. I am not sure this will be in lesser degree after the completion of burning process. I wish interconnects would also contain one or two strands of 0,01 mm thinnest silver which should eliminate that short come. (Note from King: the musical performance will improve with about 50 hours of burn in…full $$ back guarantee…. J )

When I replaced the TMC XLR/XLR digital green one with new blue one, sound became more open and richer. Treble section shortcoming is partly eliminated. I will compare both of digitals and let you know about my experiment in detail. (Note from King again: TMC has been secretly evaluating the performance of our NEW 75 ohms STIFF cabling for digital use. We have sent Mr. Atalay a single run of our XLR/XLR made with our new 75 ohms cable, to obtain an independent customer’s valuation under digital application. The blue XLR/XLR digital mentioned above is our NEW 75 ohms XLR/XLR cable. TMC 75 ohms cablings (XLR/XLR and RCA/RCA) will be available soon (early 2007) for all digital applications.)

I hope above report was honest, useful and understandable for you. Please let me know if any point is not clean.

I will use all TMC cables at my system eventually instead of my own cables but before hand, I will take and recommend them to friends who will be interested in.

Best regards..

The cables arrived yesterday.

I put the yellows in last night. I played for a couple of hours then and again this morning.

I am trying not to listen critically until they have had a few more hours. I am aiming to give them at least twenty hours before trying to make a judgment.

However you cannot help but make mental notes.

Very good detail. Brushes on cymbals, guitar string plucks, close microphones all coming out very clearly.

The ever so slight glare that was there with my silver interconnects was tamed immediately.

Part of the reason I ordered your cables was something I read from the designer of my cd player recommending copper over silver for his products.

I know from past cables that burn in is important for some components. I have experienced turning the amp on one day and the whole system suddenly gelling.

Do you have any tips on cleaning contacts like speaker connections and RCA jacks?

I have seen one site that recommends pure grain alcohol followed by a swear of CAIGS ProGold.

I actually like the stiffness (as the actress said to the bishop).

The cables stand well clear of power cables. I see this as a good point.

Nice craftsmanship. Nice service.

Thanks.

I will write once I have sat down with my good ears on.

Regards

Crickeys, mate!! Its a beauty!

I have run them in for 24 hours.

Awesome. The black spots are just so.....BLACK. Great soundstage and channel separation, even with 40 year old recordings like the Rolling Stones who were never well known for their production talents. And then I put on Dark side of the moon.....SCARY! The chiming bells were just "there". I am waiting for some more bass....I'm patient.

I will indeed recommend your cables, and already have done so to the guy who sells tube amps in Perth from whom I bought my handmade tube amp off in April..it weighs 27 kg. Because it may be one thing having great hardware, but without the cables, its a waste of dosh.

I already have premium speaker cables from Van den Hul.
(Note from King: hope one day he will try our Gold Label.)

I recall reviewers saying that the most important part of a sound system is the speakers. That is nonsense I think - mine are just ordinary. But I wouldn't mind upgrading to electrostatic one day.

I am not an audiophile but a lawyer, and feel it not my place to provide a testimonial. Maybe later, when I have put some thought into it.

Hi King,

My friend asked me to try his TMC cables that he bought from you
recently and I agreed reluctantly as I haven't heard of them even I
live in Australia. I hooked up the 4 speaker cables first ( biwired
AE-1 monitors ), they did look a bit odd sticking out everywhere as I
didn't want to bend them because they are not mine.

I always thought Michael Fremer from Stereophile was a wanker when he
could tell a good cartridge just by dropping it (gently) onto the
leading grooves of a LP. That's exactly what happened to me because I
could tell the difference when I dropped the stylus onto my LP after
changing to TMC speaker cables, which preciously I could not tell
even swapping around different cartridges ( Koetsu RWS, Shelter 501,
Benz Micro etc., I am a committed vinylist). Also, I could tell the
difference when brushing my stylus, sort of clearer.

Does the music sound different/better? you may ask. Yes, much better,
almost unbelievable for product at this price range. Strings and
brass are much cleaner, clearer and more real, whether they are solo
or mass. I put on Bruckner #9 on Decca SXL and the massive brass
section just came across very well layered, complex orchestral parts
were superbly reproduced. Minimalistic music like Bach violin
partitas on mono LP sounded much more like just one violin than
previously. String quartets are the hardest music to sound good on hi-
fi systems as you want to listen to individual instruments yet you
also want them to melt together, bad systems make them sound like
shit. For the same reason I seldom listen to them even on my fairly
good system, the TMC cables made Beethoven's late quartets sounded
much more coherent and thus more enjoyable, less tiring. Well done!!

I sequentially replaced the pre to power amp cables and tone arm to
pre amp cables with TMC (white) and the results were just
accumulative. I would say the improvement is more obvious than
changing from a Shelter 501 cartridge to a $3500 Koetsu. Or more
obvious than changing from a cheapo rega tone arm to a SME V which is
what I use now.

BTW even my dusty CD player sounded better without a
TMC CD to preamp cable.

Sorry to be long winded and I will order a set from you as my friend
took them back already. : (

Keep up with the good work. Go Aussie.

Cheers,

Terry

Melbourne

(Note from King: Terry ended up wiring his entire system with TMC's; and he is happy as Larry now!!)

(Thankyou kindly to his friend...whoever he is....!!) :-)

Hi King,

Yes of course I would be happy for you to post my email to your website. Your cable is a minor miracle and I feel you deserve positive recognition for not only your product but service also, especially at the realistic prices you charge.

Please consider seriously trying a power cord. They do make a definate difference and as I say would be happy to buy a pair on trial if you could fabricate them.

Lets know what you think,

Brian.

Hi King,

The cables arrived safely this week. Thank you for the quick turnaround.

I would like to share my first impressions with you. Interestingly, the
first track I played was off a live recording and there is a short period of
silence once you hit play but before the music begins. I knew from the first
second that something was dramatically different and had to double check
that the music was on - the silence was so total that the sense of
anticipation was greatly increased.

Once the music started, right away the treble was tamed and again became
part of the fabric of music. Not hashy and highlighted but delicate and
articulate. The music became so much more tonally correct and believable.
Strings and horns once again sounded like real instruments with warmth and
pleasing timbre instead of metallic clones of the real thing. The mids lost
their hardness and voices once again breathed from the speakers rather than
barked at you.

The startling thing is how these feats were achieved while at the same time
producing more detail. I can only assume it is because of the dead black
background from which the music emerges. It is a cliche, I know, to say I
heard things not heard from my recordings before. But it is true. And not
subtle cues either that you must strain to hear, but rather the sound of
breathing, spit on a saxophone reed, creaking chairs in the recording
studio. The Wilsons are very revealing speakers and yet prior to installing
your cables, I had never heard these sounds from the recordings or perhaps
more correctly they had never registered with me before. They combine to
make the listening experience that much more believable. Listening to Joe
Henderson on solo saxophone is a stunning experience. I know the sound of
this instrument well, as I used to play it. Through the Wilsons, with the
TMC cable, you know that this is a brass instrument. Just the right balance
of bite and warmth. Similarly with the trumpet. Cymbals now sound like what
they are, not hashy, sibilant sources of distortion.

I have heard it said that if you don't like the sound of the Wilson Watt
Puppy 7 then blame something else in the chain, well I had'nt been happy
with the sound of mine, having tried Analysis Plus Golden Oval/Big Silver
Oval, Coincident TRS, Xindak, Crystal Cable, Zu Cable, JPS labs. Some of
these cables I've heard sound good in other systems especially the Analysis
Plus and Crystal but I think the silver content just tips the sound up over
the edge with the WP7.

Each brought something different to table while screwing up the sound
somewhere else. I can certainly understand those who malign the Wilson sound
as hard, bright and unforgiving as my setup has been all those in the past.
All I can say is Garbage In, Garbage Out. They are unforgiving speakers and
will punish you if you get the setup wrong, but get it right and the rewards
can be exhilarating.

A bit longwinded, I know, but i felt you deserved a full account of my
experience so far with your product. That they achieve what they do, and
what some of the competition has been unable to do even at multiples of the
TMC cables price, is a huge achievement and a testimony to your product.

Cheers,
Brian.

PS I run the CD player, balanced directly into the amp so my setup is
completely wired with TMC, not counting the Transparent umbilical of course.

G'Day!

...i hope i said that right!

The TMC Gold Label Reference Speaker Cables arrived today - complete with the Eichmann Bayonet connectors ready to go! Of course, I had them delivered to the office and had to spend the afternoon staring at them...and then, I had a late day followed by a night meeting - but I raced home afterwards to get them installed. Spent a good hour moving furniture and getting the new cables into the system (those bayonets sure are a solid connection - I was a little worried about putting too much heft behind them on the amp side...but the trick was to push in on the bayonets with one hand while pushing out equally on the amp's binding posts with the other hand until that solid "click" - once solidly connected - the sound was incredible!)

And I know that they still need to burn in - but after about an hour now, my initial impressions are: nice clean top end...with nicely- tamed sibilance, smooth mids and nice, solid bass (I even heard some rattles in the house that I've never heard rattle before)...very nice presence and imaging! I will definitely let you know how things go!

And now the questions...

1. Could you provide a recommendation/quotation for a pair of Yellow Label RCA Interconnects to use as jumpers between the pre- and the amp sides of my NAD integrated amp (I would think that I need something a little less than a .5 meters in length as the rca jacks are essentially side-by-side on the rear of the amp);

2. In conjunction with #1 above, could you provide a quotation for a

1 metre pair of White Label RCA Interconnects to run from my new DAC to my integrated amp;

3. And, while I'm at it, could you provide a quotation for a set (2

pairs) of TMC Speaker Jumpers (i think that I would need the 8mm spades for my Paradigm Studio 60 v2's).

Of course, as last time, this would be shipped shipped up to the great white north:

TMC 1.0M XLR cables

Great customer service, King! I really appreciate your efforts. I was not anticipating anywhere near the sound improvement that I got. The Classe CA-400 power amp now sounds even more breathtaking. These have got to be the best cables on the market for the money -- quite clearly the best value out there today. I'm very glad I found out about you guys down under. ALL of my interconnect cables are now TMC, and I , as they say, am loving life. Thanks again guys. Your products ROCK.

Dear King,

the cables arrived on Thursday, which is less than a week from Australia to Germany. I am astonished.

The last 2 days I spent testing the cables. The sound is clear and precise. The soundstage is far better than with my old cables. To my mind the stiffness is not really a problem. So all in all you offer a good and valuable product!

Please keep in contact

Best regards Michael

Hi there.

I have been letting the cables burn in for a while and I am pleased to say that they have finally 'arrived'. The mid and high range clarity is incredible. I have been hearing subtleties and trailing notes that I had never heard before...encouraging me to listen to all my favourite recordings one by one, even 40-50 year old Jazz and rock recordings :-) It's been a bit like a mini-rediscovery of all my favorite music.

Congratulations on a great product! I will surely be recommending this to other music enthusiasts as well as adding to the testimonials and reviews. In due time, when I upgrade my components I will be sure to come back for interconnects.

Thanks and keep in touch,

Akshat

Hi Mr. King!

I have now been listening to your yellow label cables. They cast a spell over me.

Even though the are not probely broken in yet the difference is striking. The sound is habit-forming. The sound compared to their predecessors smooth me down in a very reassuring way: They sound so natural and musical, that you forget everything about the perpetual hunt for details and nuances. You just enjoy the music.

The details and nuances are present any way. Suddenly I realized that the soughing sound in the background are whiskers gently used on the side drum, and later on another record I noticed yet a remarkable thing: In a certain sentence I could actually distinct one word from another in a specific recording, which up to now has been unintelligible. TMC Yellow Label are some amazing cables!

In the light of this matchless experience I will now order some Gold Label Reference Speaker Cables as well.

Best regards

Hi King,

Just wanted to let you know that I did pick up the cables a couple of days ago and am letting them burn in for now....but already after 15+ hours of listening I can feel the cables bring a sweet 'mellowness' and cohesiveness back into the music. B&W speakers can tend to be just a wee bit bright but these cables are doing a heck of a job with the mid and high ranges, the low range is also now muddle free..prob a result of bi-wiring...the cables and speakers are now a perfect pair :)

I had been relatively happy with my Tributaries Silver cables but realise what I had been missing all this time...even 20 year old recordings now have the rounded warmth to them that I thought was lost for good due to digitization.

So far, I am really impressed...if you didnt guess already...more later ;->

I bought these cables, TMC Gold Label Reference Speaker Cables direct from the manufacturer.

I could go on and on about so many different unbelievably good aspects of these cables but I think it's best to sum them up as follows:

Good looking, very well made.

For the price, the hi-fi bargain of the century.

Their performance summed up in one sentence: After throwing everything at them for weeks on end, 4 or 5 hours each time, at varying volumes, including floors shaking, I have concluded that these Speaker Cables are the most neutral I have yet to hear and their biggest strength being they can not produce LISTENER FATIGUE.

Over all, I can recommend these speaker cables unreservedly. They have everything going for them and nothing against them.

System used:

SOTA Jewel Turntable

Origin Live OL1 Tone Arm with structural modification and Incognito rewire

Garrott Brothers Optim FGS cartridge

SOTA Reflex Clamp

ME 15 Pre Amp

ME 550 MK II Power Amp with High Cap upgrade

ALON IV Loudspeakers

Other Speaker Cables used, various Audioquest and Nordost.

Hi there King,

The cables arrived this morning.

They are a vast improvement over what I had.

I have only listened to them for about 2 hours.

Leave it with me.

I will write a detailed review for you so you can post it where ever you want.

I must say your service was excellent and I thank you very much.

It was a pleasure dealing with you.

First thoughts musically - there's no distortion left.

More to come.

Hi,

I have now used your TMC cables with my other hifi gear for a while and I have to admit that they sound... excellent. I was afraid that they would sound too bright but that is not the case. Everything sounds so smooth and now I also understand your "dead quiet background" statement.

I think the price-quality ratio of these cables is beyond compare.

Hi King !

I´ve received my cables 3 days ago and have them played for about 15 hours and I can hear a positive change. An great soundstage, with a very deep bass and the all voices are very natural. I look forward to the complete” burning-in time”. So far I´m very satisfied with your TMC cables.

Hi King,

I just wanted to touch base and let you know how the White interconnect is running in ,........Great it has opened up considerably and has a wonderful black background for the music to emerge from. It has about 30 hours on it now.

On another matter I was hoping you could give a price for a .75 meter pr of TMC Yellow (RCA to XLR plug) for connection between my ME pre amp and ME 850 power amp .

Hi King,

I am just now getting around to writing.....I received your balanced XLR cables and replaced the "silver" cables I had in my system. I can't tell you the difference.

Sometimes I am hard pressed to "hear" a difference in my sound by changing out hardware. I think I have such high end stuff that it just doesn't make much difference.

Well....I heard it, dynamic, open, clear.....I couldn't believe it, a HUGE difference!

I have your speaker cables, a few interconnects from you, but the XLR's offered such a dramatic improvement I had to write. The balanced cables I replaced run 6x more expensive than yours.....and yours beat their sound 10 fold.

It was astounding, almost like getting a NEW SYSTEM!!! Thanks!!!!!

Hi, King.

First off, I'd just like to mention how extremely pleased I continue to be with my Gold Label Reference speaker cables. I am using them to carry frequencies above 60 Hz from my Odyssey Stratos power amp and Vienna Acoustic Mozart mains & the sound is truly phenomenal! The shielding is excellent, as well -- I live in a kind of RFI Hell (to the extent that my old, unshielded speaker cables were actually picking up signals from an extremely local FM transmitter; with the Gold Labels in place, however, all I hear is all the music I'm actually playing. I have a question about the directionality of the cables, though.

I'm loving the TMC Gold Label...!!!

As I expected these are FANTASTIC speaker cables.

I was very surprised by how much they improved on the lower mids.. they have given my Linns much more body and warmth. Detail is awesome and the imaging is very precise... I have noticed the depth of the sound stage becoming deeper and more openly present as they burn in.. The sweetness of the treble is possibly the most outstanding improvement..

Smoooooooth as silk! I've probably only got 30-40 hours on them so far, so I'm really looking forward to what the next 50 has to offer. I thought the flexibility of the Gold Label cables were a benefit rather than a hinderance... I was able to EASILY manipulate the cables to run straight down from the back of the speakers, then a 90 degree turn to the skirting boards then another 90 degree turn to run behind the television. You can't do THAT with other flexible cables without

sticky tape!!! :-)

Have you had any more thoughts regarding your advertising?

Anyway, Thanks again for the Gold Labels.. and we'll speak again soon.

Ross.

Hi there King,

Just a quick note to let you know how I got on with the Yellow interconnect I ordered a couple of weeks back.

I had a listen to my favorite CD I tend to use as a reference when trying out new equipment, A good twenty mins with my original interconnects in place to let my ears settle in to the music, then I did the swap to my NEW TMC Yellow interconnects.

Straight off the bat I was consumed by how much richer and fuller the sound was across the range and settled in for a good couple of hours of listening. Over the course of the first 15 to 20 minutes I noticed how much these cables changed in characteristics. Such an amazing transformation over such a small period. The top end smoothed out and become a much more subdued beast, no signs of distortion or coloration.. the cymbals I had become accustomed to with my old cables now became much more a part of the music, no longer fighting for attention over the brused snare and chimes, instead, creating a pleasant shimmer which added balance and never encroached on the piano and vocals in the foreground. Bass was much more rounded and delivered with more authority, the mid range was transparent and realistic with vocals and wind instruments showing great resolution to express texture and detail but was still able to poke you in the ears with the delivery of percussion instruments such as toms and bongos.

The musicality of your cables are a perfect partner to my Linn system, feeding every part of the signal the Tukans could ever need to perform at their best, the Yellow interconnects present a massive soundstage, amazing resolution with a real sense of rhythm and musicality.

Great product guys!

I will be placing an order for a set of Gold Label speaker cables in the next few days.

(And he did...4 meter pair of TMC Gold Label...awaiting to up-grade to our Truly External Bi Wire configuration later...)

Thank you.

Kind regards

I purchased a pair of your White Label ICs on a whim from Audiogon and was very
impressed; I was even more impressed when I felt they allowed me to sell my
Acoustic Zen Silver Ref ICs. I have always wanted to see if the Yellow label
could match the Cardas and also have always wanted to upgrade my speaker wire.

Greetings,

I received my package today and let me just say "thank you".

Like many others, I thought that buying more expensive cables was like throwing money away.

After having set up my 2-channel system with nothing but TMC cables, I can honestly say that I notice a significant improvement in sound quality.

I'm not sure which cable(s) made the biggest difference(because I bought so many different types), but what I am sure of is that buying TMC cables was the best upgrade I've made to my audio system in a long time.

The shipping was fast, the response to my emails was incredibly fast, and the product is clearly of the highest quality. You can bet that I will be recommending your products to anyone who will listen.

Many thanks.

I did get a chance to hear them and there was a significant difference

for the better in quality between your cables and some large gauge

stranded cable i have, so I am instantly impressed with them. Good job.

i made my wife hear them and she totally could hear the difference.

Thanks

Hello King,

I am now bi-wiring the Mirage M3si’s with 2 pairs of TMC Gold Reference speaker cable and the results are outstanding. Keep up the great work! Oh, you may certainly use my feedback on your website.

Hello King,

I recently had the great pleasure of auditioning your Gold Label Reference speaker cables connected to my Citation 7.1 amplifier and Mirage M3-si loudspeakers.

In one word: Astonishing! I was blown away…..I have been running Audioquest speaker cables prior and I must say, there is no comparison.

The TMC cable brought the Mirage’s to life…..smooth mid range, silky top end and outstanding weight and definition in the bass. I’ve owned MIT MH-750, Audioquest Midnight, Transparent and Kimber Kable speaker cables and none of them made such a noticeable improvement in my system. I’ve been able to find another pair on the used market and will bi-wire the M3’s for an even more improved performance! I will be writing an official review of these cables on my website: www.soundreproduction.com

Keep up the great work!

Best Regards,

Shane Mattson

Goods arrived safely yesterday, thanksl.

This is my second pair of TMC's, I've had a pair of yellow label for a while. They really are superb cables, completely neutral and adding no character of their own at all so far as I can tell.

Hi, hope you have had a nice trip!

The cables arrived just before Easter, delivered on the door in good shape.

We will use some time listening to them the next two weeks.

You will get feedbacks in between.

And, the cables are very good looking and seems to be of highest craftsmanship.

Thank you again for good service!

Hi,

My sister just brought me my TMC white label TMC interconnects all the way from San Francisco (finally!) and after an hour or two of listening I am already excited to get more of the good stuff!

In the quest for getting the right interconnect I am currently demoing a pair of Shunyata Research Altairs (listing at US$1000) and in terms of imaging and clarity there is no comparison in my system - the TMC's just sound more right. Plus a much heftier bass which came as a very welcome bonus. Awesome!!!

Currently I use a Kimber D60 silver digital coax cable to connect my transport and DAC (both 47 Laboratories Shigaraki series) and the white labels from my DAC to my Amp (Orpheus Four Integrated).

I definitely would like to get a pair of your speaker cables but was wondering if it would make a significant improvement if I used the white label as the digital cable and used yellow label (or another pair of white labels?) between the DAC and the amp.

I appreciate your advice, hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks!

Prajna

Anyways I want to order some cables from you.

And btw. I will recommend every one to order cables from you! Great sound!

Dear Mr. King

As I have written to you earlier as I found that the combination of 5 meter Truly balanced XLR between pre and mono and 1 meter Truly balanced XLR between CD and pre gave a sound far too warm and "not transient" in my system (not bad for jazz but bad for rock and electronic music). This was after a weekend of playing with the new cables in my setup. You urged me to wait for beak-in before I do any real evaluation.

Even though it is hard for me as an electrical engineer to believe in burn-in of cables I did give it a chance. I let the CD-player play on repeat for 24 hours while the pre was turned on. The monos were kept off as I figured that the large input impedance anyway reduces the current to next to nothing. After the 24 hours the too fuzzy warm sound had faded drastically but the treble went from almost not existing to a little too bright.

After another 24 hours of burn-in the treble is also almost perfectly in check and the sound is very detailed yet musical and very neutral. My system has previously had a problem with a too bright treble but that is almost gone now as the treble is smooth and correct.

I have also made an experiment with short cables to the monos (by moving my pre and CD) compared to the
5 meter long TMC truly balanced XLR cables. I have found that the TMC Truly balanced XLR cables do not give a detectable drop in treble information as I would otherwise have expected as more capacitance would lead in that direction. Long cables between pre and power is to my experience thus not a problem ;-)

The conclusion is that even though I still dont understand what burn-in is (when it comes to cables) the effect is certainly there and your balanced cables are just marvellous but only after about 50 hours ;-)

King:

I am REALLY happy with your cable – my hum problem has completely disappeared.

So, I am now thinking that I should replace all of the non-TMC interconnect in my system with yellow label.

Could you please quote me a price for the following (all yellow label w/ RCA termination please):

2 pairs of 0.5 meter interconnect
1 pair of 1.0 meter interconnect
1 pair of 2.0 meter interconnect
A single cable of 1.5 meter interconnect

Could you also price out 1 pair of 2.5 meter truly-balanced interconnect.

Thanks!

Hi King

I have installed the White Labels between my DAC & Tube Buffer & between my Tube Buffer & Amp and as a digital cable between my Transport & DAC (all single ended connections). They have been run in for a little over 50 hours. I ordered these cables based on the testimonials on your web site and their cost. With your 45 day trial period I figured what did I have to lose?

Build quality is excellent. The cables are stiff, but it still only takes a few minutes to install them. They do require a substantial burn in period.

But once installed and fully "cooked" they reward with a sweet, warm and detailed sound with great sound staging. With good recordings the speakers (VAF Sig I66 - another great Aussie product) disappear.

The sound stage has tremendous depth and it is easy to visualise the performers in the sound room (especially with small group jazz recordings). The TMC cables go a long way to making music more enjoyable. They are, as your web site says, "Truly Musical Cables". In a word they are GREAT. Eventually I will upgrade my speaker cables to Gold Label tri-wires. If I add any additional components, TMC will be my first choice!

Current System:

Krell KAV 400 xi integrated amp
Parasound CDC 1500 CD Player/Transport
Musical Fidelity A 3-24 DAC
Musical Fidelity X10 V3 tube buffer (I'm still debating whether I need the tube buffer with the TMC cables)
VAF Signature I66 Speakers (bi-wired with Origin Live Solid Core - will eventually upgrade to tri-wire Gold Label)

Thanks again for a great product

Take care and all the best

Peter

Hello Mr. King,

The cables arrived here yesterday.

My first impressions are: 1. quality of materials is excellent, cable design also (snake skin etc)

2. I don't know why 'stiffness' is so often mentioned in concern with your

cables, as predicted I got no problems connecting the cables, in fact

these cables are very easy to handle with

3. the sound...I like it

                                         the highs are sweet as silk with no harshness,
                                         the bass is deep and has structure the sound is right and life-like,
                                         nothing is exaggerated (like Transparent Ultra does it with the highs e.g.),
                                         the system swings.

4. conclusion: Your cables are a real bargain in high-fi/high-end, I used several

cables from Fadel, Transparent, Audioquest, they were all expensive and did

wrong

I use the 'True Balanced XLR Interconnect' between my Wadia 850 and the ML 23.5 and the 'Gold Label

speaker cables' are for connection to my Infinities.

Your cables are highly recommended !

Hi

I have just recieved a 1 meter truly balanced via a friend in Århus, Denmark. The cable is so convincing that I now consider getting another balanced cable between my pre-amp and my home made monos.

The distance between my pre and monos is 5 meter. Is this a problem with your cable (loss in treble...)?

Could you please make me an offer for a 5 meter long truly balanced interconnect?

Thank you for your help ;-)

Hi King,

Guess what? Got my cables today, just finished bending them into shape & fitting them, I am now listening to some music & you are right I can hear the difference straight out of the box & I guess they will get even better, but as they are now I’m happy, only thing I probably should have ordered them 100mm longer as I have had to bend them fairly tightly & move my amp forward a bit but never mind it doesn’t really matter. It’s the sound that matters & this little system I have now sounds even better so I am very happy, I will keep in touch.

Cheers

Kev

Hi King,

I got the cables thanks, i already connected them to my system and the sound is perfect as i expected. All the SSSSSSSSS sounds is removed and the base is even more controlled and balanced and on top of that the sound is warmer as you promised.

And that is just out of the box so i hope for even better result after 100+ hours.

I will let you know of the progress. My old Nordost Blue Heaven has fallen down from the sky and TMC is sitting up there.

Many Thanks and i hope to see new products in the future from TMC.

Hi King

I received the second white label interconnect on Friday. Replaced the MLP (Transparent - Music Link Plus) with this cable and have about 20 hours on it. (All interconnects - analog & digital - are now TMC White Label) Seems quite smooth and warm - lots of detail. Will give you a full review once I have 50 hours plus on all of the cables.

Thanks again for a great product

Take care and all the best

I first have to say I LOVE YOUR CABLES!!!!! I had to get that off my chest. I'm in need of 2 pairs of 1 meter white labels (4 Cables),I have bought 3 pairs of yellow labels from you and truly love them. :-)

Thanks ahead for you time.

Hi King,

Apart from silly season stuff I've been busy listening to music....

One thing though I have had a chance to listen to the Yellow interconnect between my preamp and power amp and Wow! It replaced a TMC White and I don't need to tell you how good your White cables are but in between the preamp and power amp the Yellow brought a huge change. Much more bass weight and general focus to the sound stage.

I now have TMC through out my system and the sound is fantastic.

Thanks once again,

Anthony

Hello King,

Happy New Year. I got the cables yesterday and I must say; they sound
great, right out of the box!

I'm looking forward to when they are fully burned in. How long do you
recommend for burn in? I'll get back to you soon to order Gold Label
speaker cable as well. Take care for now.

Hello King,

Last night, I hooked up your cables for listening.

I compared them with a pair of biwire MIT Termintor 4 and a hand-made pure silver biwire speaker cables (I have used these speaker cables for a month. It works good).The result was amazing.

Your cables worked great. I mean it removed the harsh sounds which could be heard from the silver wire, and it gave great control in bass compared with MIT T4. Your cables gave me great soundstage which other two did not show.

Regards,

Yun

Dear King,
I received your cable last week. Many thanks.
I plunge into the angiography operating room almost
everyday, and have no time to manage my daily life
except in the weekend, I have no choice but only have
little time to plug in your new cable in last weekend.
It sounded familiar to me and I love it.

By the way, I post my experience dealing with you and
the TMC at the largest hifi web: www.myav.com.tw, it's
been great pleasure.

And thanks again.
Regards,
Singkai.

Hi King, just writing to let you know I removed the buffer stage and I love the cable. There's no harshness what so ever, even though the CDP is around 10 years old now.

I was getting heavy sibilance before on some recordings which was driving me potty, but this has disappeared now. Love the bass too-it sounds quite warm to me, but to my ears this is a good thing maybe it will change slightly. To be honest I could quite happily live with the sound as it is. I'll definitely order the speaker cable after Christmas and maybe a couple of i/c's, to replace my JPS labs.

Anyway thanks for your brilliant service and patience (all for a relatively small amount of money)

I'm going to leave a review on audioreview and audioasylum for the cable and spread the word as much as I can ( I don't know many audiophiles - thank God !! ) but there's a couple of people in work thinking of buying budget systems so I'll recommend you to them.

Merry Christmas and enjoy the nice weather down there. Everyone over here are getting virus's and the flu at the moment so you don't know how lucky you are.

Regards,

Mick.

Hi King,

I received the bi-wire Gold Label speaker cables today and have listened to them for some hours now. I must say that I am really pleased and surprised with the "new sound" of my system. The cables are every bit as good as expected and more, and much better than my previous Tara Labs cables.

The soundstage with TMC is "really well balanced" and I am now hearing new details in the music.

Music has never sounded better on my system !!!!!

Thank you.

Kind regards

Right out of the box, the cables (TMC Gold Label with Eichmann Bayonet plugs) sound wonderful. I will let you know more later.

Hi King,

Just returned. For the jumper, I'd like a Yellow Label 0f 0.25m.

To answer your other question, In the many cables I've tried, I've come to like the locking connectors so I won't try the interconnects with the Eichmann's. In the next few months I will order a half meter Yellow with the topline WBT's and compare them with my present Yellow with usual connectors.What I didn't know about the WBT's is that they are high copper content connectors with a good gold plating. I thought they were machined brass like most. Their price is steep but if they let more detail through, they will be worth it.

Concerning Intermix "Future Primitives". I will try to find it but it's getting really scarce on Ebay. This Canadian duo goes under 3 band names: Frontline Assembly, Delerium and Intermix and all of their recordings are of excellent quality wether you like that music or not. The reason why I pointed out this particular one is because there is a tune on it that is the absolute best in testing for soundstaging ability (# 5 Sonic Ritual). With most cables, the sound is mainly frontal with good left-right effects but with the TMC's the sound travels in a half circle in front of me. Coming towards the listener and back. It's hard to explain but the music has a definite 3rd dimension with your cables in. On recordings such as this, I find I can't listen to my music without this extra dimension anymore.

Like I mentioned, you may not like the music but for component testing purposes, there is no equal. I've got some HDCD's that don't sound as good as the recording's these guys do.

I'm through with cable testing for now. Honestly, I'm getting sick of it. I did it because I know they can make such a change in the way the music is played through a system even though I didn't want to believe it at first. I know now that they can make as much difference as a component change even in a modest system like mine. No cable is perfect and ALL the cables I've tried had different sonic signatures but yours give me more of what I want and less of what I don't want.

Please give me the total price and I will pay as soon as I see your reply. Thanks.

-Michel

Hi King,

I've just bought a 1 meter White Label for my tuner. I'd also like to buy a jumper (yellow label) for my integrated as we discused a while back. I think the length of the jumper was about 10 inches or so at 45.00 USD.

I had been quiet for a while because I was testing other cables again. I've tried the VH Audio Pulsar and also the Chimera Labs Advantage 2. Both are highly regarded but I'm sticking with TMC (cause it's better in my system)...More on that later as I don't have much time to write (going off for the weekend). Please let me know the total with shipping and I'll pay with Paypal when I get back. Thank you.

Also, later on I plan to get a half meter of yellow with the WBT-0101 to test.

It is now time to let you know, that I think of my complete TMC cable setup.

I have change most of my gear this summer, and it is only 2 weeks since I got some Vienna-Acoustics Beethoven speaker.

It's still the tonal-balance that surprise me most, and the cable let the music through, with lot of details and god bottom, Musical cable can have a tend to be muddy in the bass region; but not TMC.

My setup now are VA Beethoven, Arcam Diva A90/FMJ P35, Opera audio ref. 2.2 CD, TMC and in this system the cable works absolute great.

Hi King,

>How the TMC's performing in your system??

The speaker cables are everything your website claims them to be. I now have them burned in and they have transformed my system. They present music with an incredible amount of insight and detail but not at the expense of balance and musicality - basically they make music! The bass is fantastic - full rich and with tremendous punch. High frequencies are exquisite.

The soundstage is simply amazing and its not just 3D but beautiful layered and it never seems to get confused no matter how complex the music becomes.

With this current order my system with be completely wired with your cables and it will be a decade of more before I ever have to worry about cables again. Having fooled around with many off the shelf cables and my own DIY concoctions the music and peace of mind your cables provide make them an absolute bargain.
Many thanks.

Thanks,
Anthony

19 Oct 04

Hi King

Thanks for the email

Please make up the 2 pairs of Yellow Label as the usual 1 metre lengths.

With the Y cable just get the maximum length out of each - the shorter one is the most critical but I guessed you could get 400 - 450mm pairs out of them.

(Les has to send the TMC "Y" cable back to us for reconfiguration for use in his new system...) therefore...

Have had to put some QED cables back on - only shows how musical TMC cables are. The QED are so tiring to listen to. The bass booms and the highs are "hissy"(?). But I will have yours back soon.

All the best and thanks again,

Les

>>because with the pig-tail, it means two more solder
>>joints to me!!

Yeah I know what you mean and my prejudice would be 2 more joints is always a bad thing but I think the better earthing arrangement of the Bullet Plugs cancels out the minus of this arrangement. Its a small improvement over stock but a worth whiled one in my experience.

Cheers,
Anthony

I must write a proper review of white interconnects with Bullet Plugs when I get a chance - they do sound better then your standard RCAs. I simply can't imagine a better sounding interconnect.

Many thanks,

Anthony

27 September 04

Hi,

You may remember I ordered a pair of interconnect a couple months ago with Bullet Plugs.

I liked to make a new order - I like your cables - and while I'm doing it I like to take advantage of your 50% offer and order 5 pairs - like I said I like your cables.

But I have a couple of questions. One of thing I like to order 3 pairs of white and I want to have Bullet Plugs. Can you supply Bullet Plugs or would you prefer me to supply them like I did in the past?

Thanks,

Anthony

_____________________________________________________________________________

18 September 04

Hi King

Thanks so much for your honest advice - as is always expected from TMC!

I will proceed with the order probably sometime in November (maybe a bit later)- will be the least disruptive to be without the use of my main cables. 900mm cables will probably be the length I purchase, just trying to keep "spaghetti junction" to a minimum.

It makes life so much easier when all I have to worry about is the length of a cable - no decision has to be made as to what make! That is the confidence that you and your product offer.

Again - my sincerest thanks for your time and effort.

regards

Les

Thank you for the cables. I am very impressed with the performance from your amp cables. I am getting a lot more detail and information and the soundstage has extended in all dimensions. I plan change my power amp to JC Halo monoblocks. And when that happens I will definitely purchase the balanced interconnects and speaker cable.

King,

I received the balanced cables today, they sound pretty darn good right out of
the gate. I have put them up against 3 different cables costing up to 5 times the
price and they are holding their own. How long is the break in period? I will post
a positive feedback for you as soon as this mail is sent and would appreciate it
if you could leave a positive for me also. Thanks again and once these
are broken in, if they improve on what I'm hearing now, I'll be placing another
order.

The Cable came Thursday, so I be able to pick them up Friday then I came home from holyday.

The look very nice spec. the sleeving, first impression.

After playing about 25 hours, the sound nice to, the tonal balance is very good, and they beginning to open a bit more up (the same experience whit the Gold label speaker cable).

That's all for now.

Your stuff is amazing. :-) (I have a feeling your cable will beat the pants off my Monster Cable.)

Hi King,

Finally received the Gold Label cables with Eichmann's. The connectors look awesome but man they were hard to insert in my amplifier. I put some Caig Pro Gold and got them in. I did some listening and it seems to me that the highs are slightly more extended in this true biwire setup than with jumpers. The soundstaging might be better too. More listening on the way. Thanks !

Electronic music may or may not be your thing but if ever you want to compare soundstaging of different components or cables, you might want to try a CD entitled Future Primitives by a Canadian duo called Intermix. The recording quality of this CD is excellent and it really wraps you in a wall of sound. It's a reference CD for me and it might work for you too even if you prefer classical, jazz or acoustic material. Just thought you would like to know as I am listening to this "music" with the cables you sent me.

Best regards.

-Michel

Hi King,

First off, I'm glad the payment for the speaker cables went smoothly. Next time, I'll use paypal and it will be simpler for both of us.

Like i mentioned in my previous e-mail to you, I made a few changes to my system since the last time we wrote to each other. Maybe I had mentioned this but I changed my speakers from monstrous Athena's to Castle Stirling 3's. This alone cost me a fortune but the difference was like night and day. No more exaggerated brightness, bass and hissing sound from the tweeters. For the first time I had an idea of what hi-fi really meant. I also changed my ugly cheap cabinet to a Target S230 rack in cherry that is beautiful. Of course, this meant i had to relocate my gear and reshape the TMC Yellow's yet again in the most weird shape ever in order to connect my CD to my amp. Needless to say, I'm getting good at reshaping your interconnects despite the stiffness. The difficult part is reshaping both of them so they look alike.

More relevant to you is that I recently decided I wanted to try a well regarded DIY interconnect. These were terminated with Eichmann all copper bullets. As you may know, these are very well regarded cables in audiophile circles that compete against commercial cables costing much more. As soon as I got them I let them play for about 25 hours and compared them to my TMC Yellow. Initially, I was truly impressed by their level of detail. You really can hear everything that is recorded with these cables either good or bad. The more I listened to them though, the more I had the impression that something was missing. I kept wanting to turn my system off before a CD had completely played and this is not a good sign. I couldn't quite put my finger on the problem until I put the TMC's back for a couple of days and tried the twisted pair again with a different CD and this time the difference was even more evident. More detail again but the enjoyment was gone. I started taking notes: Analytical but flat sounding, vocals are unnatural, soundstage is gone. When I put back the TMC's, everything returned minus a little bit of detail. I then remembered the feedback I had written for you about detail resolution having little to do with musicality and how this test proved it again. Anyway, all this to say that despite the changes I'm making to my system, I'm still using TMC cables. I hope i haven't bored you to death. I just thought you'd like to know.

Thanks King and best regards.

-Michel

Hi King,

As you probably know, I already have a gold reference in my system with spade terminations. I wanted to try true bi-wiring using 2 separate runs of cable with different terminations so I'd like this pair terminated with Eichmann bayonets at all endings.

Please write back to me as soon as you can. As mentioned, I'll write back in another e-mail about the changes I've made to my system and changes I'd like to make with some TMC interconnects.

Thank you.

-Michel

Hi Mr King,

The cables are still burning in but I thought I would just pass on that your cables are fantastic.

Just like other people have said before they are amazingly open, clear and smooth.

Music flows and has great punch all at the same time and the sound stage is the best I have heard.

When I get my vinyl front end up and running I will get another pair - no question about it.

They replaced what I thought were very good interconnects - DIY ultra thin copper wire with bullet plugs. Your cables are miles better.

The Yellow jumpers work very well. I had to bend them a little and they are stiff but once in the are very secure.

May be you should offer them on your website. I'm using them on a slightly tweaked NAD C320BEE and they work a treat.

All people who own NAD integrated amps (thats a lot people) could get a significant performance boost by replacing the standard jumpers their amps come with with a pair of your jumpers.

The standard jumpers are just nickel plated steel and most people don't know what their amps are really cable of.

Cheers,

Anthony

King,

I've be meaning for ages to send you some feedback on the cables. Suffice to say I will be keeping them. I compared them against some custom made silver cables from a private manufacturer like yourself. The silver spkr cables had better bass control and some good highs, but looses when comparing soundstage and naturality. It was almost like the music was compressed. Anyway I had a hard time convincing the other seller that his high end silver cables that everyone was talking about, lost out to copper cables - which seemed counter-intuitive.

Overall Im happy with the Gold cables, and would recommend them to anyone. For some time I had my doubts, but Im fully convinced now.

cheers,

Prithipal.

Hi King,

Recieved TMC Yellow Label connectors today.

Very pleased and surprised they made so much difference to the sound of my system, hearing much more detail now. Was so rapt I wrote a review on audioreview...:

""...Within five seconds of listening to my Wendy Rule CD with these connectors, Ive gone wow. The clarity and detail was just amazing. After reading many newsgroups from people saying that interconnects make no difference to sound quality I purchased these cables mostly for piece of mind, but was totally knocked over by the sound difference as I am now hearing details in music tracks that I havn't noticed before. The shielding does make the cables stiff but they can be easily shaped before fitting and caused no problems, they have instructions on their web site if anybody concerned with this...""

Thinking about replacing my speaker cables now, but will have to save up as one speaker cable needs to be six metre's long (goes under the house) and this will work out quite expensive - ouch!. So will contact you in future about this.

Thanks

Glen

Hi King

Just recieved my tmc white cables today, when i connected them from my transport/dac the sound was transparent like my kimber pbj, nearly 4 hours later the sound just changed to a far more open and fuller sound in all the key areas, this cable has just changed my overall devotion to vinyl,, everything that my turntable gave me in smoothness and sound transparency has been matched with this remarkable cable, the kimber is good but the tmc is much better in the bass and midrange , i have never had a cable break in so quickly or so dramaticly, i will highly recommend your cables to all my friends , thanks for a great product and will definitely be purchasing some yellow cables soon.

Kind regards.

Phil.

King:

I wanted to write you regarding my experience with your cables.

First off, I am having construction done in my home, so it took two weeks just to try them out. Then, I could only listen for an hour when I had to take down my entire system again.

In only a short listening session I found a lower noise floor and additional midrange clarity. There was considerable improvement in vinyl playback; I had a slight hum with my old cable and I now have total silence with your product.

In another month I hope to get my gear back up & running, but I am very happy with your product so far.

Regards and thanks,

George

Thanks King,

Sydney received your cables just in time to on forward to me in Hanoi.

In a word I am over the moon they have greatly enhanced my system and
my sound experience. In fact my co-director who delivered them to me
thought I was crazy when I told him your cables were expected to
considerably improve my system. He got a great surprise.

Main difference is clarity particularly with good recordings,
unfortunately there aren't a lot of well recorded CD's, well not in
Hanoi. I am hearing sounds that I had never heard before aided by the
superb Marantz SA-14 SACD CD player. The bass is also considerably
extended only limited by the limitations of the B&W 604 S3 speakers.
Further observation by having connected in parallel both the RCA and
the Balanced XLR cables I am able to make a direct comparison between
the two - there is considerable volume gain when using the balanced
XLR's.

It is good to see an Australian company enjoying such a technical
success, I am hope it is paying off. Please keep me updated with any
future products and improvements.

Keep the good work up

Kind regards and cheers,

(name withheld by request)

Hi King,

Glad you got the cds! Bootlegs are never like a studio recording. It will take time to getting use to. Its not your system or the recording. Its how it was presented live through the central board. That show is extremely popular worldwide amongst collectors.

Love the Yellow and White cables. I still can't get over the soundstage these cables present. They go great with my Acrusu A-150 Amp, Yamaha AX-90 receiver (Pre-Amped), and Klipsch KG4 speakers.

Anticipating the summer concert shows here in the States. The remaining members of the Grateful Dead will be touring with the Allman Brothers and and Yes. Dave Matthews Band will be coming through here too. Can't Wait!

Keep in touch. I am referring your cables to everyone.

Dan

King,

I have had the Yellow label cables installed for a couple of days now and would like to express my gratitude to you for a magical musical experience.

Before fitting these cables my upgraded system was a musical treat and had exceeded any expectations that I had anticipated. But your cables have elevated the whole experience to a completely new level. Not only have they bought out the best in the other components, but I can honestly say that I never thought I would be in a position to experience musicality like this in my own home – I knew it could be achieved but never believed I would be able to afford it.

I don’t have the technical know-how to describe what your cables have added (or maybe taken away) to the musical quality of the system but can only judge it by the level of enjoyment I am now getting from the whole system.

I would also like to thank you for your patience and knowledgeable advice. It is so good to be able to talk directly to the person that makes the cable rather than some commission driven salesman spouting information compiled by some marketing team. I think that many well-reviewed cables give their best performances in their advertising material. Reading your customers comments was enlightening and confidence building for someone like me who has little experience with cables.

I would be urging anyone I know to try your cables. You could offer a 45-year money back guarantee and there would be no way you would ever get these cables back from me.

I think your name says it all:

TMC – the Music Cable

Thanks for the music

All the best to you and your company

Les

King,

I purchased both the White Label interconnects (for CD to amp) and Gold reference speaker cables from you just before Christmas 2003. I am writing to tell you how much of a difference this has made to my system. I confess to having been a little sceptical about the differences cables could make in anything but the most high end systems, but your products have changed my mind.

I did find that they do need a considerable burn in period as was advised. During this I was, at times, concerned about their sonic performance, but (thankfully) I persisted. I wasn’t confident in leaving my system running through the day as Brisbane was having heatwave conditions at that time, and my Rotel amp runs hot anyway, but when the weather cooled a little I was able to leave the cables to their burn in.

I first hooked up the interconnects, and was immediately impressed with the extra level of detail provided. I think the speaker cable probably took longer to burn in than these (possibly due to the extra length?). I did find the bass became a bit ‘thumpy’ for a while during this phase. I did a back-to-back comparison with my old interconnects and speaker cable after about six weeks and quickly put both back in the closet. The difference in detail and dynamics was clearly evident over a wide range of music with the TMC cables.

I have recommended your products to a friend who lives interstate and shares my passion for music. I hope he takes my advice and makes this his next upgrade. I thank you again for the prompt service you gave and, now, for the quality product you make. I will be in touch when I upgrade to a pre/power amp for some more interconnects.

Regards,

Duane
