Teo XLR

I notice liquid cables are being talked about a bit at the moment so thought I'd share my experience.

I come from a somewhat cable sceptic background. After playing with modest cables I felt there were differences but it was all pretty subtle. The best I came across were Anti-cables which with everything I've seen seemed to offer slightly greater clarity. They've stayed in my system for the past 3 years as it's evolved.

I run an Emm Labs, Muse amp (very underrated)and Kharma speakers with just an XLR between the electronics. I was offered the opportunity to try a Teo XLR in an unfamiliar system a little while ago and was surprised at the difference it made so at the earliest opportunity I tried them in mine.

I've had them for over a week now and have been surprised at just how big a difference they've made. In a system that I've been very happy with the greater decay and body to notes is a revelation. They've added a more natural perspective that I didn't know I was missing. Very impressive.

And it's only my opinion that when someone comes into the forums and virtually every post they make they are touting HiDiamond cables that the possibility exists that they could be a shill, especially when they only began posting in January of 2012.

I just find it odd for a person who claims to have tested over 400 cables and claims to have owned over 300 speakers to begin posting about only one cable company and one speaker. Just saying.

But it could just be me...

I am also one of the people that is involved in the blind testing with Dave and I find it unfortunate that our testing doesn’t gel with your current cable choice but I concur with Dave that HiDiamond cables did finish first in our blind testing. Just for the record we really have tested over 400 cables.

I did some Dick Tracy and Xyz is not a dealer but has found a cable he digs and has a joy posting about it. The Zu Def4 is a revelation and I don't blame him for his praise of this speaker.

I will A/B the HiDiamond with my Teo and report back. Teo is the best cable I have had in my system.

Fiddler, according to your logic, everyone who prefers one component or cable is suspect. This calls the honesty of all such posters into question. Are the only acceptable posts those that express confusion and uncertainly? What a sad day this would be if this were so.

XYZ,

Big difference from 7 to 9 with the IC? 10% better the 9 is?
