The best digital IC, period.

Gloria,
William Shakespeare made a very insightful observation in Hamlet:

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

You and Essentialaudio are revealing more than you realize. Not everyone who reads these forums is as naive as you would wish.

Can a gracious editor pls put an end to these senseless diatribes?

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.

My problem with HiDiamond is that there aren't any dealers (in my area at least?) that are willing to home demo them. And we all now how important demos are... I asked the distributor if there are any dealers in the US that are welling to home demo them, and he said no because it would be useless since the cables take a month to settle in a system. I'm not comfortable dropping a good amount of money on cables that may or may not work well in the system (of course the dealer said their sound doesn't vary from system to system). Especially on a brand with very little feedback.

I hope that this post will be allowed in light of the fact that false statements have been made about me on this thread that question my honesty and integrity.

Regarding the false statement by a poster on this thread that I am a shill, here is a recent denial in a post from Worldwidewholesales on the thread entitled Great Cables ... That Get Little Attention.

"04-30-12: Worldwidewholesales
Glory and Essentialaudio/Brian Walsh worldwide sales rep for Teo (Liquid Cables).

I have stood back for several weeks and listened to you trash talk my company and my clients but enough is enough. Sabai is a client of mine and he has made several purchases of different models of HiDiamond cables. Sabai does not and has never worked in any way, shape or forum for Worldwide Wholesales or me personally and in fact doesn’t even live in Canada. There is no point to twist words or play games. I have never been on this forum under any name except Worldwide Wholesales and my clients are my clients; I prefer clients versus customers. It appears that for some reason you may have a problem with people saying “they enjoy HiDiamond cables “if this is the case than please let us all know why?
Worldwidewholesales"

I introduced this topic. In my introduction I stated the following:
"Please note I am not in the audio business and have no association with any audio company -- other than being a customer."

The agenda behind the negative posts on this thread is obviously to impugn my observations about HiDiamond cables that I find absolutely stunning. The emotionally-charged tone of these posts indicates to me that there is a hidden agenda lurking under the surface and that a sensitive nerve has been touched. In the past, we have seen threads unravel, mired in the quicksand of insults and false accusations. I will once again take Ted Denney's advice (the lead designer of Synergistic Research) and ignore disrespectful, inflammatory and false statements that stray from the topic.

In the past, I have written enthusiastically about products from the following companies on these forums: Synergistic Research, EMM, Bybee, ASI Liveline, Merlin and AMR. I find it worthy of note that I was never accused of anything other than enthusiasm when I submitted those posts. I hope this thread will return to a discussion of the topic.

I will be receiving the HiDiamond Carbon 2 digital cable next week. I will post my initial observations of it at that time.
