HiDiamond Power cords...

Hi Skywalker,
Make sure you give P3 a full 300 hours of break-in time. P3 sounds good right out of the bag, but after fully broken in it's a different cable altogether (you can read this thread for various break-in experience).

For speaker cable, D5 is minimum you should get. This is where HD starts using graphite in them.

One thing to note is you wouldn't know the full effect of HD cables until you have a complete loom. I started off with one P3 and now I have 5 P3s, digital RCA reference, D5 IC, XLR2, D5 SC and awaiting another set of D5 IC for the subwoofer. With each addition, it is a cumulative effect in my system. For Devialet, do you also need a digital cable?

BTW, I have the same speaker as yours with Pass Labs amps.

Skywalker I can not say anything about the Clearday Cables but have the HiDiamond D7 Speaker Cables and run two pairs in a bi-amp to my B&W 802D speakers. After a long burn-in (even after on a cable cooker) the are one of the best speaker cables I have had in my system (Nordost, MIT, Synergistic etc). They quality of construction is impressive. The sound has a natural timbre and flows from a quite background.

As good as they are I am moving up so if you, or anyone else, has an interest PM. They have spades at both ends and are in new condition (6 months).

@Kzhtoo, you really need to try a P4 either on your source or Pre. What it will do to your overall sound is huge. The noisefloor lowers even more, your soundstage width/ depth expands, things you never heard before just come through. Really . You need at least one in a Hidiamond fleet......

@Kzhtoo: thanks for your input. On my Devialet, i'm currently streaming music via Wifi from the PC. By the way, are you also located in Singapore? If so, would love to listen to your HiDiamond loom with Focal and Passlabs. I could even bring my Devialet to compare if you are interested :)

@Hifial: Thanks for sharing your observation. Switching to the D7 is certainly a very tempting prospect. Let me see if I can grab a pair of HD speaker cables to listen to before checking with you on your pair.

By the way, my wife says she likes everything about my current setup except for the less prominent midrange. Hopefully that changes with time as the P3 runs in.

Hi Bacardi,
I was hoping no one would say that. lol I'd really love to try P4, but the thing is one P4 is equivalent to 4 P3s. :( Besides, there're other things I'd like to add to my system at the moment (power regenerator, dj setup, symposium shelves, etc). If there's a deal on P4 though, I'm sure I'll be all over it.
