Teo XLR

I not really sure who you are but I know where and who I bought the TEO cables from. I meet the owner Ken who was driving a M5 and Taras. They meet me at Taras farm house just outside of Kingston Ontario.

In all the time that TEO Audio has been in existence there has been only one instance in which someone has come to my home and bought cables. That one instance had Bob Neill visit us to sign a distribution agreement to sell TEO Audio to dealers in Canada (it should perhaps be noted at this time that the agreement that was signed at that time was in very short order terminated by TEO Audio) During that visit Bob Neill, who is the owner of Worldwide Wholesales, bought only one (1) pair of cables. These cables were a set of our PDL series RCA terminated inter-connects, which at that point was our entry level cable (at that point TEO Audio had three cables in our catalog, the PDL, the SPDL and the Standard...the Reference which seems to be referred to at times in this thread was still in development and was not yet completed...and certainly never heard by Bob Neill).

It should also be noted at this present time that Bob Neill and/or Worldwide Wholesales is also the Canadian distributor of HiDiamond cables and Zu products (please see links listed below)

Thank you for the clarification.

Sabai,

Wow. Thanks for calling attention to TBG's post about leaky cables. I will certainly make sure not to purchase those particular cables.

Having said that, since TBG's leaky cables were not Teo cables, I am not sure what your point is other than to be a hyper-ventilating sensationalist comparable to a job-killing EPA bureaucrat.

Nice of Taras (sorry your last name is too long for me to even try to spell it out here!) to actually join this discussion. I recently tried one of your cables and found my system responded quite favorably to it. The sound was dynamic, fast and I had an overall sense that it simply sounded better than what I had been using up to now (XLO cables in case anyone starts asking!). I don't foresee anyone here chewing on the cables or trying to cut them open so the entire discussion about whether the liquid is safe for human consumption is totally irrelevant to me! I am, however, curious as to these HiDiamond cables. I have never heard of them before, I was going to try some Nordost and some Siltech cables which have always intrigued me but this brand was mentioned here by two members and by one of the company's owners which makes me simply curious. The Zu speakers are another brand which I have been considering and Musicxyz seems to have both in his system. I wonder what he uses to drive them and where he got the speakers from as I cannot find a single store that actually carries them?

This message is for HiDiamond, one of the owners of HiDiamond Cables: Can I by-pass your NA guy and simply buy the cables directly from you? I would really like to have a contact name for you as I would like to speak to you in person.
I will also be contacting Taras of Teo cables in order to help me understand both of the products further.
These are not cheap cables (either way) and I think that my purchase will also depend on service from the manufacturer since both of you have been kind enough to join this discussion.

Glory,
When referring to my statements regarding the toxicity of the constituents of Teo Cables you say "Read and study real hard before you make such claims."

The facts about indium, a major constituent of Teo cables, clearly show that indium is a toxic element as I noted in my earlier post in this thread.

My reference to Tbg's cables was posted to show that cables can indeed leak. This is a fact that was reported by him in an earlier post in this thread.

In my opinion there is nothing sensational at all about these facts. They are simply facts.
