HiDiamond Speaker Cables

Hifial,
I have done some experimenting with this. I have the HD H8 speaker cables. I tried to take the SR speaker cells out but they went back in fast. On the other hand, I took the SR interconnect cells out and there was an improvement in the sound. I run cables in series.

I would love to try these. Not in the budget at the moment, and I'm really happy with the Zu Ibis currently in the system. I just have trouble imagining things sounding better than it does now, I am really incredibly happy with the sound. But the changes I experienced with the HD ICs and Digital were so incredibly profound it makes me wonder.

The two things "missing" are a tad of detail and a bit of bass tightness.

I realized the bass thing when swapping in a friend's DAC recently, the bass went a bit lower and tightened up a bit, but at the expense of organic-ness elsewhere (so I wouldn't trade DACs out as overall I liked mine a lot better). So I don't think speaker cables will help with that piece. Maybe with the detail/resolution though.

@Joncourage, there is a used pair of HD7's on the Gon from Wig. maybe try those...

Hifial: Did you get your HD7's yet? Curious on your thoughts.

Bacardi/Sabai: I would love to know your description of the the HD8's sound. For me, I found the power cables gave a unique feel of musical emotion to the recordings that I was never aware was even present. I'm wondering if the SC's would further amplify that. I really wish they offered some kind of money back guarantee, at least of their higher priced items. Would make life a lot easier.

Stevepo,
The HD8's give the same "being-there" feeling that all HiDiamonds do in my system. But I enhance the effect by running all my cables in series so my system is a-typical.
