Great Cables ... That Get Little Attention

I have had the HiDiamond XLR 2 interconnects in my system for 2 days. They are simply stunning. I have never heard any other interconnects that do what the HiDiamonds do to bring the emotion and aliveness into my system -- or any other system I have ever auditioned over the years. Words cannot do justice to these interconnects -- right out of the box without break-in.

HiDiamond is a company that gets little attention. They are an Italian company so this is understandable. Have you had a similar experience with unsung cables from an obscure company?

Please note I am not in the audio business and have no association with any audio company -- other than being a customer.

Thanks Taras,
I will look into the Signal Cables as Many of you seem to agree on that particular brand!
Might pass by Oasis Audio to take a peek at the HiDiamond to. Many interesting choices on this forum have me itching to try something new (and improved!)

All take a look at 6mooms site, an interesting review of the current Ocellia cables just came out and it's just as many of us have found out, just an exceptional sounding cable at a reasonably price.

Hi Rfs,
I had tried some of these cables and thought they were absolutely incredible. With all the talk of other brands here, I was forgetting about these! Do you know if there are any stores in Toronto selling them?
I think that it has come down to these or the Signal Cables for me.
I am currently using a mix of various brands (Acoustic Zen power cables, Cardas interconnects and some MIT speaker cables) but I am thinking of upgrading all of these provided I actually hear the difference.
From what I remember, the Ocellia cables fit the bill!

A few days ago, i posted what i though of the HiDiamond cables. The speaker cables keep breaking in and have been getting pure signal for the last 100 hours since i posted...400 hours now...you bet they sound fantastic. No problems with dynamics, softest sounds are there, as are the loudest...at the same time too. Tonality is all there, width and depth preserved on each recording. Highly recommended.

When i receive the HiDiamond Power3 i will post separately my impressions.

LFD would have to fall into that category for sure-despite all of the buzz over their integrated amps it's almost impossible to find their cables in North America, let alone talk to someone who has heard them.

My understanding is that not only is the designer extremely well versed in phono stage design but he is also very good at cable design as well.

A dealer once told me that various cable companies have used designs by Dr. Bews but I can't confirm or deny that.

Apparently they work well with many brands as well, it's not just something that works with LFD electronics.

As they do no advertising or promotion and the cables basically come in a plastic bag with a printed piece of paper on them it seems that they are looked over by many buyers.
