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.

There is a price list on the Worldwide Wholesales website. The cables that started this thread are the HiDiamond XLR 2. These are listed at $1300 per pair. I'm not sure that would be considered "shockingly reasonable", or not?

Here is the price list:

The word "reasonable" used to describe over $1k interconnects is a contradiction to me.

Telescope_trade and Musicrover,
There is no secret or mystery about the pricing of HiDiamond cables. All you need to do is contact Robert Neill at Worldwide Wholesales and he will fill you in. That's what I did. Nice and simple. No intrigue.

Mofimadness,
For what they offer you cannot get better value anywhere. IMO. Take a look at some of the other high end prices and compare.

I agree Mofi, but to be fair, what is a "reasonably priced cable"? I am currently looking at other brands which are in the same price range as the ones mentioned at the start of this little exercise. Bottom line, your ears and wallets will decide which ones you get probably as much as the possible synergy within your system. No point in buying $1000 cables if you can't hear the difference, if you can't afford them or if they simply don't "work" with the rest of your components.
I have many friends that are huge audiophiles (or is it audio nuts?) and most of them have spent big bucks on their systems. We all agree to disagree on one thing: the cables! Everyone can make a case for theirs! I will no doubt be touting the merrits of the Ocellia cables!
Perhaps there simply are too many brands out there!
