Anyone have direct experience comparing the 2 brands?

I do not mean that HF ic is better SC, for my system, when I have all HF full loom, I felt like myself keep waiting to see how each instrument will perform , how heavy the bass slam will be, its really draw attention which is very nice. Once I put HD cable full loom in , it's a completely different feeling , I felt like my attention is just listen to music, yes u can say HD is warmer. But when I add HD sc into my whole HF ic system ,I got better result. When I put HF sc into my system with full HD cable ,I prefer HD full loom. When I add HF ic into full HD system ,I like it better. That is why now I've one ct1u ic between my pre-power with HD 8 sc and HD xlr3 from cd-pre, from phono to pre is HF ct1e .with all HD p4 power cords.
I'd to conclude that for my taste, I prefer HD sc over HF ct1 sc. But for RCA ,I prefer any HF ic over HD d9. But I prefer HD Xlr 3 over ct1e when I compare them side by side from my cd .
Well i got the Hidiamond 8 Speaker Cables. In terms of perceived value the Hidiamond wins hands down. The cables weigh a ton and are very very well made. For the price you get a lot of cable for your money.

Sound wise i give the HD the edge over the CT 1. As others have mentioned the HD cables just sounds so dam musical. It has a very dense sound and a lot of weight on notes. You tend to forget about he details, even though they are there if yo u wish to spot light it.

The CT 1 cables do really wow you when you first insert them in. The precision of the voices and instruments is amazing. But everytime i listen to them i am in awe instead of listening to the music. Its kind of spectacular, but one does not get lost in the music.

I too find having HF ic with the HD speaker cables to be a great match.

I have to admit, the fact that the HD 8 cables are the top of their line, while the HF CT-1 is their base model, does influence my opinion. It also helps relaxes one mind knowing that there is no ladder to climb up the Hidiamond ladder. I am already on top!!!!!!

I have not decided which cable i will be keeping. i have 14 day trial on the HD cable. But most likely i will keep the HD 8 cable and use the savings to upgrade my HF Ct-1 to the CT-1 ultimate

Hope my mini review helps.
Leicachamp...i believe that if/when you compare a CT-1E / U with the HD8 you will quickly realize that the HF cables are superior..i could be wrong but , as you mentioned, you are comparing the entry level HF cable with the top of the line HD cable.that the CT-1 is in the same ballpark as the HD 8 should tell you something..try a CT-1E and you will understand.
@Leicachamp.

I have the HD8 speaker cable and it needs alot of breaking in. I would say a good 200+ hours and it jumps up in stages. I think once it breaks in fully you will see that it is twice the cable you think it is now.....
@Leicachamp. I haven't heard the HF cables but I think the Hidiamond HD8 being a third of the price of the HF is a great price per performance deal. They do compete with some of the top-notch and top-priced cables out there. They really are stunning once they break-in 100%.
