what's this?

We can burn-in your cable for up to 96 hours FREE of charge using our Nordost VIDAR cable burner. This is a £3000 machine that will optimise the performance of your cables from day one. This means the cables will be in optimum performance mode when you receive them, so you'll be able to make a performance assessment quickly rather than waiting 70 hours+ of usage. The result of conditioning cables with the Nordost VIDAR is, improved sound staging, increased detail, and an overall more musical presentation. Please Note: we are unable to burn-in cables with stripped bare ends, BFA-only plugs, or no plugs selected. (This does not apply to BFA/Banana plugs). Cables are burnt-in for the selected period AFTER your order has been processed. This service is offered at Future Shop's discretion and we cannot guarantee all burn-in requests are fully completed during busy periods.

Tellurium Q Silver II Speaker Cable - Factory Terminated

 

The “Silver” (Silver and Ultra Silver) has been designed for those who love detail. As has already been commented on, with the Ultra silver the top end is extraordinarily detailed without any harshness.

While the “Black range” (Black, Ultra Black and Black Diamond) could be categorised as neutral/ natural the “Silver” would lean more to neutral, detail and extension. The Silver performance sits beyond Black for very good reasons that you will hear.

Contact Enhancer Option

Future Shop recommends the DeoxIT Gold G-Series contact enhancer to ensure the best possible connection between your systems.

DeoxIT Gold is carefully applied to the plug contacts of your cable and is a unique conditioning solution designed to improve conductivity and provide long-lasting protection on gold, base metals and other precious metal contacts and connections. DeoxIT Gold penetrates plated surfaces, molecularly bonding to the base metals to seal and protect both surfaces.

The benefits of applying DeoxIT gold are:

  • Improved Conductivity
  • Maintained optimum signal quality
  • Reduced wear & abrasion
  • Prevents fretting/dendrite corrosion
  • Forms a protective anti-tarnishing coating
  • Stabilises connections between similar and dissimilar metals
  • Reduces arcing, RFI and intermittent connections

Please select this option from the above ‘Contact Enhancer’ drop-down menu and our engineers will apply the contact solution to your cable connectors prior to shipping.

"Recommended" award for the price / performance ratio. It just works right and it doesn´t feel bad even with 20 000 GBP setup. The overall transparency, relaxed sound and naturalness are awesome for this category"

Daniel Březina - hifi-voice.com

"I truly believe Tellurium has raised the standard of affordable audio cables"

Kai Ekholm - Inner Magazine

"This cable seems to be able to justify its price with an air of quality to the sound which is often missing, even when spending considerably more than this. Both leads timed well, but the Silver was exemplary in this area and the effect this can have on the perceived drive to music makes it well worth listening to."

About Tellurium Q Made in United Kingdom

Tellurium Q cables offer a unique approach to cable performance, focusing on minimising phase distortion, a common problem inherent in all cables. The Tellurium Q team understands that all signal path materials act as electronic filters, impacting the naturalness of vocals and overall audio quality.

Instead of ignoring this issue, Tellurium Q embraces it and engineers cables that provide a clear path for the signal, aiming for the most natural sound possible with current technology. Their construction involves multiple stranded conductors of varying materials, dielectric materials, and geometries. Every detail, from solder mixes to plating thicknesses, is carefully considered.

Tellurium Q has developed three distinct families of sound to cater to different customer preferences: the Tellurium Q Silver range offers silver-like characteristics without harshness, the Tellurium Q Black range (including the Tellurium Q Black Diamond) provides transparent and lifelike reproduction, and the Tellurium Q Blue range adds a slight warmth to balance brighter systems. Each range is designed to enhance the audio experience uniquely. They strive to offer a clear, transparent, and natural listening experience and invite customers to hear the exceptional results of their work for themselves.

Having entered the Hi-Fi scene in 2010, Tellurium Q has won several coveted awards and global recognition. With their extensive range of top-tier cables available in 37 countries, they've accumulated 154 exceptional reviews and 14 'Products of the Year' awards from international Hi-Fi magazines.

Enhance Your Experience: Free Cable Burn-In Service with Nordost VIDAR Machine

 

Please take note of the following details regarding our cable burn-in service:

  • Cable Compatibility: We regret to inform you that we cannot burn-in cables with stripped bare ends or BFA plugs. In order for cables to undergo the burn-in process, they should be terminated or have connectors.
  • Timing: Cables will be burnt in for the selected period after processing your order. For custom-length cables, the burn-in process will occur after they have been terminated by the manufacturer or our engineers unless specified otherwise in the product description.
  • Availability: Future Shop provides our cable burn-in service free of charge, but its availability is at our discretion. While we strive to fulfil all burn-in requests for the specified time periods, please understand that during exceptionally busy periods, we may be unable to meet the demand due to limited connections on the Nordost Vidar cable conditioning machines.

The Nordost VIDAR cable burn-in machine integrates three key functions into one operation:

  1. Charge Neutralisation: It eliminates charges that accumulate around the cables and their insulation, ensuring a more balanced electrical environment.
  2. Deep Conditioning: The machine provides a wide band and deep conditioning process that affects the conductor core, resulting in changes to the signal transmission through the metal. This deep conditioning enhances the cable's performance.
  3. Ultrasonic Surface Conditioning: The VIDAR machine utilizes ultrasonic waves to condition the surface of the conductors, optimizing their contact and overall conductivity.

The VIDAR employs a proprietary combination of composite and complex signals to condition the cables. These signals comprise ultra-low and ultra-high frequencies, extending beyond the range of video frequencies. The signal moves back and forth along the cable, penetrating deep into the core with ultra-low frequencies and traversing the surface with ultra-high frequencies. This transmission method generates beat harmonics between the two complex waveforms, which permeate all layers of the cable. The circuitry of the VIDAR also drives electrons from the conductor into the insulation area, neutralizing electrical charges.

 

 

Nordost Vidar Burn-in Machine

 

 

So, what does this all mean for you?

The ultimate outcome of conditioning cables with the Nordost VIDAR is improved sound staging, increased detail, and an overall more musical presentation in your audio system.

Now, you may wonder why cable burn-in is necessary. During cable manufacturing, gasses become trapped as insulation is applied over the conductors. Additionally, new cables often possess high electrical charges, resulting in a brittle and bright sound that lacks the desired detail and depth for music production.

When cables undergo burn-in, the trapped gasses are dissipated, and small impurities in the conductor metals begin to exhibit diode-like behaviour, favouring current flow in a specific direction.

Here are the physical effects of the burn-in process:

  • Charge Neutralisation: The burn-in process neutralizes charges in the conductors and insulation, promoting a more balanced electrical environment.
  • Wide Bandwidth Frequencies: The conditioning affects how signals pass through the metal, enabling a wider range of frequencies to penetrate all cable layers.
  • Signal Transmission: The burn-in process establishes the directionality of the cable, optimizing signal transmission from one end to the other.

When cables are properly burnt in, you can expect the following audible changes in your audio system:

  • Fuller and Natural Sound: Your system should be capable of producing a more immersive and realistic performance with a fuller and more natural sound.
  • Increased Detail: You may notice enhanced details and nuances in the music, allowing you to perceive subtle elements that were previously hidden.
  • Improved Soundstage: The dimensionality of your system's soundstage can be greatly improved, creating a more spacious and immersive listening experience.

At Future Shop, our goal is to maximise your satisfaction. That's why we offer a free burn-in service on all our cables before they arrive at your door, enabling you to sit back and enjoy the benefits of properly conditioned cables in your audio system.

Smooth, but punchy and exciting
5 Aug 2024
Verified Buyer
So, here we go again...

Looking to find something to improve upon my QED XT40i, which was rather lumpy in the bass and quite aggressive in the treble but an exciting listen nonetheless, with good drive, I tried the TQ Black II - but, like a few others on here have upgraded to the Silver II. In my system (Quad Artera Play+, Artera Stereo, PMC Twenty5.21i, in a small room, and with 60-year-old ears), I found the Black II to be an improvement on the QED in terms of detail and control. Still, overall it sounded rather polite and lacking in the punch I enjoyed from the QEDs, even after 200 hours plus. So, did the Silver II do it for me? I listen entirely on CD to lots of classic rock, blues & pop.

Yup!

It does sound more forward than the Black II (which I like), but it is very detailed, punchy, and definitely not lacking in oomph. Treble still has enough bite for me, but there's still a big reduction in the high-frequency "hash" that the QED seemed to give (to be fair, it's only about 10% of the price of the Silver II). There's more space around instruments, low frequencies have a good extension, and sound more natural with a much better definition. Electric guitars sound more real, losing the thin, wiry, "digital" sound they used to have with the QED. Drums still hit hard.

Overall, this feels more like a component upgrade than "just" a cable.

A few years ago, I said I'd never spend this much money on cables. Yet here we are...

Special thanks to FutureShop, Steve for his initial advice, and Mark for his time and effort in ensuring I ended up a happy customer. Cheers, guys!

This Tellurium Q Silver II speaker cable needs less burn-in period.

They sound awesome. The bass is very good, plus the vocals. Basically, all improved.

The Tellurium Q Black II's are good, but these are on a different level.

I upgraded my Tellurium Black II to Silver II and am happy with the improvement.

The 96 hours burn-in plus 3 hours at home while writing this review. Some time ago, I removed the silver-plated stuff from my system as it was bringing harshness, so I was afraid that TQ Silver II speaker cables would confirm what others said.

There’s no harshness at all. The Silver II sounds more natural and smoother, with a better soundstage in all aspects than the Black II speaker cables. The bass is definitely more controlled.

My amp (UR Unico 90) has a really big bass but also likes to show all the weak parts of partnering equipment, such as all the cables. With the Silver II's, the bass is spot on. My Dali Rubicon 2 speakers are supported by 2x Rel subs. I was working on the placement and the tuning of the subs long time and have now reached perfection. Now there’s no loose bass from the excellent Dali speakers. All is beautiful. The Rels are digging very deep (thanks to Tellurium Q Ultra Black II XLRs), and Dalis are under control bass-wise.

The combo of Tellurium Q Ultra Black XLR interconnects and the Tellurium Q Silver II speaker cables is amazing. This combination gives you plenty of detail, warmth, smoothness and organic sound with the wide soundstage and great acoustic reproductions of the recording room/ hall of the tunes. My end-game combo.

I’ve reached my dream analogue old-style sound in the better modern days version. The silver cables look like a steroid brother of the Black II speaker cable.

Worth to invest, at least in my case. Hope it helps you to make the right decision. TQ is probably the best value-for-money brand. All the best fellow audiophiles!

Excellent cable
3 Sep 2022
Verified Buyer
It really is everything that the description and other reviews say.

I upgraded from the Tellurium Q Black II and noticed an immediate improvement in the amount of detail and a bigger soundstage. I was worried that I might lose some of the warmth I liked about the Black II, but that hasn't happened; just more clarity.

Music is more involved, and TV sound (via HDMI) is clearer. Very happy with my purchase and feel that the cable is well suited to my system. I would definitely recommend it. Very good service from Futureshop.

Amazing cable!
26 Apr 2022
Verified Buyer
I have upgraded from the Tellurium Q Black ll to the Tellurium Q Silver II Speaker Cable. If your system is up to it, the change is substantial. Compared to my Black ll, the sound is more natural, while silver ll opens up again, more the whole soundscape, more vivid, real with a lot more detail. For example, more separation and detail, Drum skins and Piano very noticeable, in-room live feel. The voices are so clear and natural! There is more clarity and realism in the top end, shimmer and air in cymbals. Bass is now more controlled and realistic.

Overall WOW! I was not expecting this level of improvement, and it now makes me wonder about the benefits Tellurium can give me going further up the price list. That's for the future for sure!

A superb cable that brought life and dynamics to my system. As with many things in life, you don't know if what you have is any good until you are able to compare it with something else.

TQ silver II provided music in the higher frequencies that I hadn't realised were there. Bass and mid-range control are excellent and even proved better than a recently tested pair of QED cables, costing twice the price. Oh, and a wonderful soundstage and voice presentation.

Thanks for all the help and advice from the Future Shop team that I had spoken to in helping me to bite the bullet, so to speak. No regrets

I bought this cable relying on reviews. And I didn't lose; I'm pleased about my purchase.

I have the impression that the system has played a level higher in all parameters. Especially pleased with the timbres. They are natural. The bass is deep, very structured. Well, the high frequencies are magically crystal.

In general, the cable is amazing. I'm thrilled. Separately, I want to express my gratitude to the store's employees. They are great fellows. Thank you for your attitude to customers!

After being very satisfied with the Black II speaker cable in another hifi system, the cable was bought.

The Silver II takes it up a notch. It sounds effortless and natural, very clean but never bright. The bass is very well controlled and clean. Highs are airy and sweet sounding.

The previous cable was AudioQuest Rocket 11. Silver II is miles ahead. Considering the price, it very well should be.

I recommend that anyone who considers this cable get the free burn-in option of 96 hours because this baby needs it.

Futureshop, as always, is very professional and fast.

Now I wonder how the Ultra Black II would sound ;)

Insane Upgrade On Previous Cable!
7 Feb 2022
Verified Buyer
I like to do my research before I take the plunge on buying an item. Apart from anything else, it is half the fun before actually purchasing something.

My previous Cable was the Atlas Hyper 2.0, which is, to my ears anyway, a pretty good all-around performer.
Having recently purchased a new set of Speakers ( KLH model 5's....WOW, by the way ), I thought they deserved a Cable upgrade to give them every chance to perform at their optimum best....and the Tellurium Silver 2 wire got the nod over the Black 2 as I am a bit of a clarity addict. The Silver 2's are the best part of double the cost of the Black version, but as I didn't need too long a length, I could stomach the extra cost. I was hoping for a sonic improvement over the Atlas Hyper 2.0....but nothing prepared me for just how much improvement I would get.

Everything I have read about the Silver 2's has made a point of conveying just how much running in they need, with a few hundred hours being a general consensus. Well... I have had them hooked up to my Speakers and Amplifier for just about three hours so far, and the improvements are quite staggering....so all I can wonder is what are these cables going to sound like after a proper running-in period. My system already sounds more Holographic and defined with a potent but tight Bass punch and a REALLY REALLY sweet top end.

There is more air around instruments, and the sound stage appears to be already showing greater width and height.
My favourite music of choice is classical...particularly Chamber and Baroque.... and old jazz from the late fifties and early sixties.

I am also partial to acoustic and Electronic music....and the Silver 2's sound pretty amazing and have improved with all my choices within these genre's so far. It will be interesting to see just how much more the cables can improve my system over the coming weeks and months...but I can safely say that if their performance today were as good as they got, I would be more than happy.

I have read one or two reviews of the Cable that say that Male vocals can sound a bit thin, and the top end is too bright.
That is definitely not the case from my limited listening so far. Maybe I have just been lucky with the Synergy between my KLH model 5's and my Gato Audio DIA-250s amplifier and the Silver 2 cable....but I can only report to you what my ears are hearing.

I would say that the two things that already stand out to me so far are the increased clarity and airiness of the sound....and just how Sweet the top end sounds without a hint of harshness....and this after just a couple of hours of listening.
I am really looking forward to hearing some of my favourite music and performances in the coming days....and as I say, if the Silver 2's continue to improve, I will consider it a bonus for my lucky ears!!

Crystal clear, precise, fast. Could image better.

My previous cable was QED Genesis spiral silver, which I consider pretty good.

This new Tellurium represent let's say a 5% improvement in transparency in all frequencies, specially bass, which is now faster and more precise. In terms of soundstage are similar. But I suspect the Tellurium requires a long, long break-in period; it has run 70 hours at home, it came with 96 hours break-in from Futureshop, and it still improves day by day.

Fantastic speaker cable
12 Nov 2021
Verified Buyer
After recently upgrading my Leema elements amplifier to Electrocompaniet ECI 80D, I thought it was time for a speaker cable upgrade too, I had QED Genesis silver spiral for a couple of years, and it's been a fine cable. After looking at reviews of Tellurium Q Silver II reviews on the Future shop site, I liked what I read and went for it.

Wow, did I make the right choice, so detailed, precise, outstanding, punchy, tight bass, and no harshness in the upper frequencies. Believe the reviews; this is a standout cable, worth every penny, makes my Dali Menuet SE speakers sing.

Thanks to Future shop for speedy delivery after 48 hours of burn-in :)))

Incredible Speaker Cables
25 Aug 2021
Verified Buyer
Upgraded from Van Den Hul D-352 which are excellent but Tellurium Q Silver II are in a different league/major step-up!!! This was a significant upgrade demonstrated by greater clarity in highs and mids with very controlled and well-defined bass! These cables provide greater depth and sound staging with a much more 3 dimensional sound experience.

I am running these with my PMC twenty 5.22i speakers driven by a NAD streaming amp bridged with a NAD Power amp and Tellurium Q Silver II compliment so well my HiFi setup! Very pleased with it! Great advice and service from Mark at Futureshop - thank you so much!!! Additionally , I have upgraded mains power cables (AudioQuest & Wireworld with Matrix power block) and this has also provided a significant incremental improvement to the overall sound!

Bloody WOW!

Oh my ... this cable is really phantastic. Perfect Soundstage, really clear without harshness, combined with a magical "air" around every instrument. And the voice is just unbelievable smooth and like LIVE. The Mids are really musical and the highs so very precise and open, but never too much.

The bass is a class of its own, presenting a very fast, black base, reeeallly dry, but bouncy and feet tapping. I can say, that this upgrade is worth every Penny! GO FOR IT. But to boys and girls from futureshop special THANX to you!

Another giant leap forward
10 Feb 2021
Verified Buyer
I have been running Tellurium Black ii for a few weeks and decided after the quantum leap up from my previous speaker cables I thought the Silver ii would just be the cherry on top. How wrong I was! It is another huge quality leap forward.

I heard things that I have never heard before in my recordings. Listening to an audience clapping, you can hear each individual, not just the whole audience. Highhats ring for ever. The bass is more defined and cleaner. The soundstage is taller and much deeper. I was thinking of looking for new speakers, no longer.

I highly recommend these cables. I had them burned in for 96 hours, but I know they will get even better with some more hours of music. All I can say is, WOW!

Now I'm a Believer...

For over 40 years I have been a confirmed cable sceptic - not any more.

Using these cables with my Dynaudio Special Forties has taken the sound of what was already a tremendous speaker to new levels of clarity, transparency, tonal separation and decay.

Even the wife noticed a marked improvement, which considering my previous cables were Kimber 8pr is no mean feat.
I don't have a clue what's in these cables and frankly I don't care - all I know is that I won't be buying anything else.
If like me you're a confirmed 'snake oil' person, I urge you to try these and you'll likely change your mind.

A Great Cable
17 May 2020
Verified Buyer
I bought this cable with the recommendation of the team at Future Shop. I recently upgraded my amp from a valve amplifier to a Naim Supernat 3 and I was looking for a little more air and clarity.

This cable added both and didn't compromise the bass which is present and detailed, the only downside of the cable is that will sound a little less full specially in the middle tones but engineering is a compromise and with the Naim sounding very analogue I was looking for that extra sparkle.

I strongly recommend it if this is what you are looking for. Another thanks at Future Shop for the unbelievable service

Excellent cable! I used Tellurium Black II speaker cables before. After changing Silver II, experience improvement as I expected. Very clear and calm, transparent, also very detail sound. There's no unnecessary sound effect or sound any more. Highly recommended!
