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

I could not have said it any better! I have owned the cables mentioned and 30+ other brands plus numerous DIY variations I have built over many years and Hijiri is at a higher level…

Musicality, purity, tonality, clarity with a beautiful touch of richness, depth, layering with dimensionality, fluidity, wonderful sound staging with no crowding of performers, tightly focused imaging and viscerally Holographic!

In all honesty, if I would have known about these years ago, I would have bought them and saved money in the long run of buying and selling… I’m using their SC, IC and PC and am very happy with the way my system sounds. 😁

Thank you all for your comments. In a world where there are so many choices, it really helps to hear from others about their perceptions on cables. I think I'm looking for what you all say about Hijiri, it has this "ease" about it; mentioned above by others as fluidity, natural(ness), balanced, unforced. To me, that is one of the most important things that makes the music enjoyable. If a cable produces tremendous resolution but sounds mechanical or "clinical", I don't want that. I've heard plenty of that and it does not satisfy over the long term. Also, Wig mentions that they are "viscerally Holographic", I receive great joy when I hear the music take on this 3d see-through sound where you just suspend disbelief, that's when you stop listening to the cables and start listening to the music. And like Wig, I don't want to keep buying/trying, I just want to make the best choice I can and forget about wire and enjoy the music. So thank you all for your comments.

Are you using the Performance line or the "Millions" line and were you able to compare them to one another?

 

I know there are several others that mentioned they've tried Hijiri in the Zavfino thread. I hope they will contribute here as well.

I am using Hijiri performance line.

@ grannyring

Yes, it’s sounding beautiful and I’m amazed each night I sit down to listen and just moved by what I am hearing... 😊 I know your system sounds amazing as well.

I have Combax Hijiri million Kiwami IC (RCA). The way I can describe them is "extremely musical, very open, organic". It just seems natural with no specific emphasis on any spectrum of sound. This cable is unlike any other cables in my system. They just seem right. My system is balanced but these RCAs still sound amazing. I am waiting for availability of XLRs on sale.
