Teo XLR

So Xyz the Distributor Bob in Canada says he knows you but you write you didn't know there was a distributor and you bought direct from HD.

Are you Pinocchio?

I almost bought a HD Digital cable to run against my Teo because of your praise of HD but if you are working with Bob than I am not a happy camper.

Do you know him or not!!!

From what I now understand the same store that I purchased my Zu speakers from is now selling HD cables. I did mention to the owner several times during our conversations that I like HD cables and perhaps that is how he found out about the brand. I have spoken to him several times and he seems like a great guy, very easy to deal with. I think if you read my emails I clearly state there are lots of great cables but my cable of choice is HD. I never realized that mentioning 1 brand name would cause so much crap. Beside me and my buddies I really don't know anyone that uses HD.I also like JPS, does that mean I own that company? You guys really need to move on because I don't care what cable you use as long as your system gives you some emotional connection to the artist. If you don’t want to hear my opinion than stop asking.

The plot thickens :)

Good to see this tread revived, I'll be interested to hear HiDiamond properly.

Funnily enough someone I know through a UK forum lives close and worked for as far as I'm aware the last UK distributor for HiDiamond. I heard two of his systems which were in all likelyhood hooked up with their stuff. He's an arch cable sceptic and when I asked about the cables he basically shrugged his shoulders - good if you're interested in that sort of thing...

My system has evolved, the Muse has been replaced with Kharma MP150 mono's and an Aesthetix Calypso. I'm thrilled with what I hear here now.

Further back in the thread someone suggested comparing Teo with Anticable is a nonsense. I don't agree, from what I've seen price is not always a great indicator of quality. I tried a fair few midrange cables, Supra, Siltech etc next to the Anticables and Teo. In my system the Anticables were more transparent and got me closer to the music than all but Teo. I tried them next to a couple of highend cables, Siltech Forbes Lake and top end Acrolink. In my system there was little in it next to the Anticable, the other two seemed to offer very slightly greater transparency and a more forward presentation. I suspect I'd find it difficult to chose between those three blind.

I suppose you could call me a shill now, the distributor here has been very kind in letting me try some pieces that I'd not otherwise have had the opportunity to hear since I bought the XLR.

Teo is an awful lot of money, I find it hard to justify the sums involved when looking at it from a material content standpoint, however I am contemplating another purchase. I notice and miss it when I take it out of my system...

Once I found/heard Teo cables I knew I had found my go to Reference cable for the long haul. Had many different wires in my system and they all did the same old same old with different ways to use Copper/Silver/Gold etc... Teo stepped out of the design box and Created a cable that I can live with for many years to come.
