More shenanigans with power cables happening. A few updates on my system page. The Combak company is the real deal for musicality.
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

“The Combak company is the real deal for musicality” I couldn’t agree with you anymore. If I may say so, you barely got a taste of what 聖HIJIRI’s cables are about with Nagomi. Wait till you try the "TAKUMI" 匠Maestro Power Cord or even the 聖Hijiri SM2R-L power cord. I started my audition with Nagomi vs TAKUMI’s and end up upgrading to full 聖HIJIRI “Million” loom. |
Hey all - my question is about where you started (front end or back end) with your cable upgrades - Streamer or transport to DAC? DAC to preamp? Preamp to power amp? Speaker wires? Kind of seems like improvements at the front end will benefit the whole chain, but the need to conserve funds means I need to prioritize. Thanks, in advance, for any advice or experience you can share. |
“I need to prioritize” Not knowing your budget, I suggest you contact Colin @gestalt for guidance on where to start. My suggestion would be to start with a speaker cable plus - One power cord, - One pair of Interconnect That 3 cables in total, rotate the PC and IC between your components to access where you hear most audible improvement. Once you get hooked (and you will), upgrade as funds permits down the road. Good luck and have fun!

I had the most impact on the amp, followed by the preamp when it came to PC's. Moreso exposing deficiencies in other cables then followed by drawing you in to the seductive sound. Then you try to go back or start mixing in different combinations while you're second-guessing and all you can hear is a problem here or there. Then you realize you need more Hijiri's. I hate Colin.😏 |
