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

Someone mentioned experiences.

Just for reference purposes I was an Allied Radio Shack Manager at age 19. Previous to that I built many Heathkits. Anyone remember them? This hobby has always been in my blood, and I love it.

My actual experience has been through testing, trials, shows, friends and many, many so called, "Mad Scientist" experiments.

@ozzy,

Thanks for your input. I can only speak to my experiences and how I approach auditions. As long as I am fully aware and good with return policy terms of a dealer providing me an opportunity to audition a product in the very comfort of my home, I have no issues with putting $$$ on my credit card.

In 30 years of my audiophile journey, I never had any problems with a dealer. I do my due diligence ahead of time so there are no surprises at the end.

No one is forcing anyone to audition HIJIRI cables. This thread exists to share positive or not so positive experiences of end users. I always urged folks to try before they commit to purchase any product. There is no such thing is one size fits all, please read my first post on this thread.

Agreed Ozzy, we should actually try them in our systems. We seasoned Agoners all agree on this. I don’t think Colin is weary or anything like that. He just operates his business in a reasoned and professional manner. We both pay for fuses and all manner of gear upfront with a trial period. Sorry to hear about your past issues with refunds. Not good!

grannyring, laltik,

The difference is that the power cord that I would like to try is > $5000. A lot more than a cost of a fuse! And I have had many instances of difficulty trying to get my money back after so called trial periods. I even had one company want to refund just 50% because of claimed shipping, handling, restocking costs etc.

I think the challenge on the cable’s merits against Synergistic Research SX Galieo, or the AudioQuest Dragon would have been a good one. And if it prevailed, I would have bought one, perhaps even more and sold my existing cables on the gon

But enough said on my part. Enjoy!
