聖HIJIRI Users thread
Based on a discussion with another forum member, I've been reading up on this Comback Corporation brand. The reviews I've found have been pretty positive, but I've also learned over the years to take all reviews with a grain of salt. So the purpose of this thread is for users to share their input on 聖HIJIRI cables. When you share, if you'd discuss what model of HIJIRI you demoed and what brands/models they were compared to, that'd be very helpful.
A little background: a few years ago I was reading the Audio Envy threads and decided to give them a try as the seemed to compete with much higher-priced cable. So I decided to give AE a try. I found both the $179 P2 and the $279 M3 to easily best an Isotek power cord at $1k. So that got me thinking even more about value products. I was about to give Zavfino a try and then was given another recommendation to give HIJIRI a try. So this is how I got here. I'll be very interested to hear all user comments on HIJIRI and this should be a good repository for the brand.
Here is their website: www.combak.net
@ozzy I was looking forward to your feedback since you seemed to have listened to a lot of stuff. I think with Hijiri, the prices now get into mid/upper range Shunyata, Siltech, Hemingway, etc. @lalitk @grannyring I imagine you guys have heard a lot of different looms, so will take your word for it on Hijiri. I just settled into Zavfino, but it never ends, does it? :)

@cd45123 , enjoy your new cables and music. Many good cables out there and Zavfino offers very good value products. |
@pokey77 , you are doing it right by trying cables in your own system with an open mind. The price of a cable, by itself, will not always translate into it being the very best cable in your system and for your tastes. |
Does it ever ends..I know exactly what do you mean. When you put together a system, you are constantly looking at ways to extract every ounce of performance from each component….and that’s where the fun begins. Music is very close to my heart and my audio system is just a reflection of my passion for achieving ultimate expression of music reproduction in my MAN CAVE! If I were you, I would enjoy Zavfino cables until you get that itch for next level performance. Audio pursuits are not very different than our life journey, Zavfino is just another stop, don’t feel rushed to hop back on for next stop, HIJIRI :-) I completely agree with you; in my 30 plus years of audiophile journey, folks like Colin are rare gems. Colin has been a tremendous help and resource in my pursuit of achieving sonic bliss. Couple of more tweaks (hint: grounding) and I am done! |
lalitk, I have had dealers in the past who guaranteed refunds if not satisfied renege on that. Only after getting the CC company involvement along with proof of return was I able to recoup the cost. I don’t know Collin and he doesn’t know me. I get it, both parties are weary. Providing a CC number in the case that I did not return the item should have been security enough. I also will add I have never not paid for something that I received on loan. That would be terrible! Most times if the product tests out to be as good as the claims, I buy it and brag about it on Audiogon. The power cords that I presently own were either previously loaners or was bought used on Audiogon. So, what we have is boasts from seasoned Audiogonners (that I respect) but with no actual relative comparison. Meaning that they are not tested against cords in the same price range. But I am sure some rag mag will review it for their benefits. Leaving again the average Audiogonner not sure how it would compare. ozzy |
