HiDiamond Power cords...

Jazz, I tried the original LessLoss power cable several years ago, long before my adventures with HiDiamond. I was not impressed, and after a few weeks I sold it. Who knows, maybe I never gave it a chance. I never tried another LessLoss product, so I can't comment on their newer offerings.

The peace that the P4 and other upper range HiDiamond cabling offers is the sense of reaching a goal. I don't doubt there are superior sounding products out there, but at what price of entry? Other than continuing to experiment with my AES/EBU digital links, I feel no urge to try new lines of cable. I'm hoping that peace lasts a while, Lord knows it's taken a while to get here!

By the way, I installed a custom set of 2' jumpers from my Maggie MG20 external crossovers to the panels, made from HiDiamond D5 speaker cable. Really nice complement to the D8 speaker cables.

HD SC D8 arrived today. 500 hours to go. :(

Kzhtoo, Keep us dated.

Kzhtoo, what are your initial thoughts of the HD SC D8 realizing that there will be major break in time required?

Hi Lak (and Ozzy),
D8's are now at about 150 hr. I haven't really had time to sit down and listen for long stretches but the reason I said "500 hours" to go is based on info from people on this post and my own experience with D5 SC's break in. D8's didn't blow D5's right out the gate but just more extension, details and lush. Bass is still come and go and top end also not as refined (sometimes sound a little worse than D5), but you could tell the potential once it fully breaks in. It may or may not meet my expectation but going from D5 to D8, I could feel a little easy that it will definitely be better.
