 It seems a mistery lives here; Anybody measured the capacitance for 1mt interconnect of the Blue and Black interconnect?
Are they shielded cables or not?

Capacitance low is mandatory for my uses and would appreciate if you gathered some data. Thanxs

 These cables are on my short-list to demo.
Have you thought about contacting the company that makes these IC ?

 I understood they have a policy not to share data about their cables. They simply says the cables will work, but i wanted to have figures before making a blind buy.

 "they have a policy not to share data about their cables."

They're probably just hacks and don't have any to share. My policy is to not share money with that ilk of vendor. But sometimes I succumb.

 There are a few, very few, reviews out there in the web-zines.
Research google and possibly contact the reviewers that wrote about them?

 These are UK manufactured cables and are quite popular over here. There are many, many comments about them on the UK audio forums and you may well get the answer that you want there if you post the question. Try :

Hi Fi Wigwam
The Art of Sound
Pink Fish Media

I don't know how to insert more than one URL here so I suggest that you Google them.

 My entire system uses Tellurium Q Ultra Black cables; RCA interconnects from step-up transformer to the phono preamp, RCA interconnects from phono preamp to the preamp, XLR interconnects to both amplifiers (bi-amping), and lastly two sets of speaker cables from both amps to the speakers.
I'm extremely satisfied with these cables.
I'm good friends with the U.S. distributor for them, and they are here in little Nashua, NH. (FidelisAv)They let me take home various cables and test them in my system.
I know that the question is regarding the "Blue" or "Black", but if you would like, I could measure a set of my "Ultra Blacks".
Just tell me the length and if you want it for RCA or XLR interconnects and I'd be happy to measure a set for you.

 Very sweet! A1 Wise.

I believe that earlier this year I read a review about the "black diamond" cables/cords?

 Are the Ultra Black cables/cords, the top-of-the-line ?

 The Ultra Blacks are in the middle of Tellurium Q's offerings.
The Black Diamond is TOTL.
Below that is the Graphite and then falls the Ultra Black.
The Ultra Blacks sound execellent in my system and were an improvment over the Blacks. Fidelis allows trade ups throughout the line.
I've heard both the Graphite and Black Diamond, but not in my system. I've been offered demo units to try at home, but so far I've declined because I know that I would get addicted to them and they were not in my 2014 upgrade path. This coming year, who knows? I have found that the improvement in sound was not profound, but gradual from level to level.
My wife had her work XMAS party Friday night for the school she teaches at and it was right around the corner from Fidelis, so you can imagine where I spent my evening. I was told that Tellurium has come out with a new line of speaker cables (RCA, XLR,s, others?)called Silver. I will be givng those a try shortly as I understand that they fit just above the Ultra Blacks price point wise. 2015 is almost here afer all.
My 2015 plan thus far is to integrate Stillpoints beneath most of my gear and perhaps a Thorens TD-124 MkI build. We'll see if another cable change fits in as well.

 A1 Wise does your local dealer/retailer carry all lines of Tellurium cable/cords for audition?

 Fantja,
Typically yes, unless they are temporarily out of one or another waiting restocking. Most all of their equipment is connected with the various levels of Tellurium Q cables. They have four listening rooms, each one is set up for a given price point range or type of playback.
I told my wife over coffee this morning that we need to swing by and visit them this afternoon. They have a large selection of vinyl for sale as well and I would like a Dean Martin Christmas LP, or two.

Merry Christmas.

Al. Wise
