Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables
Fiddler,With all due respect, my posts have been respectful to a fault. If there is any "bashing" going on it is coming from others who choose a tone that is less than respectful. An evaluation of the experience of various posters is a moot point....

Fiddler and Audiofeil,I note the tone of your posts without needing to describe it in detail. Each reader can hear the tone as if they were listening to a reference recording on their own sound system. I believe everyone knows exactly what I am re...

Fiddler,With all due respect, I will be glad to give you a break.When Audiofeil or anyone else "calls me out" on anything I take Ted Denney's advice from Synergistic Research. I ignore that poster because their posts appear unnecessarily provocati...

Fiddler,With all due respect, the first part of your reply is a non sequitur regarding the second part of your reply. You are talking apples and oranges. On the one hand you are referring to my over 50 years of audio experience which is irrelevant...

Glory,Please note, in his earlier post Taras22 stated that, for the sake of brevity, he was not going to take the time to rebut my points. He has followed through. As of this date he has not done so.

Glory and Essentialaudio,The tone of your posts is duly noted. What is also noted is that you have not rebutted my points. 
Hegel Amplifiers
Talk2me and Milpai,I auditioned the H200 a while back and was so impressed with the sound I decided to give it a try. I will be receiving it soon. Unfortunately, I have no experience with the Hegel H30 so I cannot comment. 
The best digital IC, period.
Horchai,I piggy-back my XLR cables. No adapters necessary. I use a burn-in adapter from VH Audio for running the power cords in series.

Glory,I have never heard Teo cables. I understand they are quite remarkable. But the question I have brought to the table does not relate to the quality of the sound. It relates to potential toxicity. There are many excellent cables available to a...

Taras22,The gentlemen "doth protest too much, methinks" -- from Hamlet by William Shakespeare. 1. The fact that you have gone to the trouble to write this very lengthy post shows that my statements have hit a real nerve. If they had not hit a sens...

Tbg,With all due respect, this is getting way off topic, but mercury vapor is not difficult to produce at all. Dr. Murray Vimy of the University of Calgary did the research on this.With all due respect, it is premature to declare "There actually i...

Ghostinmachine,Here is more information on Galinstan from publicly available information on the Internet. It shows that Galinstan can be quite volatile and unstable:"The fact that Galinstan is an aggressive metal which damages and dissolves many o...

Ghostinmachine,I doubt anyone would be so foolish as to take one of these cables apart. My concern is actually over possible long-term release of vapors. Since indium vapor has not been sufficiently tested but is recognized as being toxic this cou... 
The best digital IC, period.
Ghostinmachine,Thank you for your kind remarks. I have not tried Acoustic Zen cables -- yet. I note your positive observations about them in your system. I am using ASI Liveline power cords in series with Bybee Ultra and ASI Liveline power cords i...

Tbg,You state: "I think you have greatly exaggerated concerns about this metal [indium]."With all due respect, when commenting on the toxicity of indium I have referred only to publicly available information that clearly indicates that indium is h...
