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

@lalitk,

Easy there big fella, I did not take @fai_v question as being negative at all. Fabricating/fabrication does not always mean an invention of a non truth.

I work in construction as a draftsman and the words fabricating or fabrication are used all the time. They too mean to construct or manufacture something, especially an industrial product produced in a shop or the field from some sort of plan or detail.

Almost everything built is from some sort of fabrication process, including our audio gear. And if you read what grannyring wrote, he actually took the time to explain to @fai_v the fabricating process of building cable from stock parts.

One of the things I respect about Bill is not the fact that he has audio knowledge I admire, but how he treats people. He try’s very hard to be civil to everyone and take the time to teach. We would all do well to follow his example.

Does this mean I’m some what of a pushover? No but the typed word can be taken wrong as opposed to talking to someone face to face. Or even on the phone.

We are to old for this, and everyday someone who used to be here on agon has gone on...Let’s enjoy this hobby.

Now, albeit I completely understand if one had a few glasses of wine or some shots of some fine Tennessee bourbon though!☺

@tyray you are correct.  I work in architectural manufacturing and what I meant by the word fabricating was gathering the required source materials and then making the part or parts, or in this case, the cable.

@grannyring , yes, it was not accurate for me to say that the Hijiri cables are vastly outperforming the competition.  They appear to be handcrafted and are able to offer a unique presentation to music.

Just read some of the reviews from the Hijiri site and translated some of the pricing to US dollars and for the HCI 1m rca pair it’s around $950. Anybody know is this still the price? The review was from 2018 I believe..

Prices seem to increase almost every year. I think for an accurate price you would have to contact Colin King of Gestalt Audio Design.
