The best digital IC, period.


I've spent a great deal of time, too much really, to find the best IC between my transport to my DAC. After listening to six cables from some big names and big $$ as well as some not so well names for small $$. The winner came out to be a HAVE/CANARE $25 IC. With this cable there is no eye candy at all, ZED, but it's combination of GEPCO International, VSD2001 high definition 75ohm serial series digital coax, and CANARE true 75ohm RCA terminations, simply killed all of the esoteric cables with a few others coming in very very close, but the HAVE/CANARE $25, 3' was just beyond belief. Now I know that people feel strongly to use at least 1.5M in length for a DIC, but with this company I tried cables at length of 12" to 1.5M, i tried them all and the best of the buch was their standard 3' cable, defying the math. Hey, for 25$?

You mean there is a difference between an IC and a digital cable?!

Thanks for helping SAb and I out Anti.
Xyz,

Are you a dealer for HiDiamond? You are from Canada and so is the Distributor of this cable located in Canada.
Xyz,

Sabai asked a question to you that shots down your thought of only 10 brands get all the talk. He wants to know about the HD line.

Nobody shot you down. Folks here want to make sure everyone is upfront and honest with one's thoughts on gear and is not from a dealer.

Fair?
E,

So Sab thinks we are not speaking the truth and the pills are not working.

So yes Sab I am a dealer and a marketeer for Teo Audio cables.

Now go ahead and believe the lie!

Thanks Agon monitors for allowing this discussion.
Sab,

What makes you think Anti is a dealer and what is he pushing here in this thread to ask such a question? He is listed as a private member from the UK.

Seems like he rightfully corrected your IC praise of the HD wire in a digital thread and you get out the dealer question.
No Sab sorry to say I am not a dealer. What do you think I am dealing here? Why do you ask such a question? Dealer phobia?

Remember it takes 4 to 8 hours for posts to see the light of day so there was nothing to re-read when I last posted.

Try cutting the pill in half. =8^D
Sab,

Then why question Anti and I with the dealer gig? What are we pushing to leed you to ask such a question??
Wow Sab maybe you need to increase to two pills. =8^D

I do not lie here on the 'Gon. I am not a dealer for any audio products.

Dealers are confrontational? Didn't know that was true. If I disagree with that thought that proves I am a dealer? What am I dealing here in this thread or any other thread that I have participated in? And what has Anti done to get the dealer rap?

So you do have a phobia. Dealer phobia still comes out even with my disclosure.
Sab,

You dodge the question on what have I aggressively shilled here on this thread.

I will answer for you. Nothing! And I will answer what has Anti pushed here? Nothing!

You get the last word Sab as This has become fruitless.

  The best digital IC, period.

Teo Audio digital cable IMHO is the best I have heard.
Sab,

You have dealer/shill/toxic phobia. Try increasing to 3 pills 3 x day and call me in the morning @1800Teocable. =8^D
Sab writes,

If there are posts that should be suspect it is obviously dealer posts. And the shills they bring into the picture who remain as silent partners

I do believe you are referring to me as the silent shill partner of Teo Cables.

I never wrote a review on Teo cable like you did the HD cable you had in your system for a whole two days. Pushing the HD IC on a digital thread and I a a shiller for Teo Cables? You have found me out Sab as a secret dealer for Teo. Reading between the lines has discovered me for who I am, a dealer of Teo cables. You are very good at this reading in-between the lines stuff. Darn Taras Sabby has found me out. What to do now?

The title of this thread is The Best digital cable IC, period. My pick is the Teo Digital SPdif cable. I should not have to read all your accusations about me shilling for Teo because I dig their digital cable.

Do you work for Bob at HD cables Sabby?
Sab,

On the thread

  Speaker Cables for VANDERSTEEN 5 speakers

You write,

I have had the HiDiamond XLR 2 interconnects in my system for 2 days. They are simply stunning. I have never heard any other interconnects that do what the HiDiamonds do to bring the emotion and aliveness into my system -- or any other system I have ever auditioned over the years. Words cannot do justice to these interconnects -- right out of the box without break-in.

Please note I am not in the audio business and have no association with any audio company -- other than being a customer.

And on this digital thread you do the same praise for HD wire IC.

You little shiller for HD IC's you. I can read between the lines also and you do know the difference between IC/SC and Digital cables No? Yes you do!!

And I am the shill artist? Shabby look into your own mirror and see the real SHILLER. =8^D
Sab,

Did you not write this on the Teo XLR thread??

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.

Wash your mirror Sabby and take a look. Hey it's you in there isn't it Sabby? Yes indeed it is you!

Now when you go back and read your thoughts/ reaction about my posts here on this thread and the thoughts of yours on the Teo thread I see a strong form of hypocrisy.

Just reading between the lines thank you. =8^D
In closing,

One last thought Sab,

Did you not write?

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 provocative and emotionally charged. They do not merit a response from me. I only reply in substance to respectful posts. At this stage in my life I feel under no obligation whatsoever to interact with anyone who does not show due respect.

You called me out and when I answered your dealer rap you called me a lier.

And then you write

I believe that respect is due to each poster on Audiogon no matter how deeply one disagrees with another poster. Otherwise, threads can quickly deteriorate in a vicious circle of accusations, bullying and mockery. We have seen this happen too many times here. No poster who is respectful of others on the forums owes anything whatsoever to the forum or another poster if they are not addressed with due respect. IMO.

Really Sab is this true?

I am done thank you.
