Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects

@Bander, the hd9 is there top Interconnect. The hd8 is there top speaker cable......

Decided to keep the SC 8 cables. My dealer confirmed that the pair I have has only got 100 hrs on them, so am looking forward to them improving!

Btw does anyone know what those black cylinders are for? They look like they are just cosmetics. Would like to remove them on one end because they are too big to fit under my furniture.

Leicachamp, they will improve a lot. They may sound a little grainy and smothered-like but at around 200-250 they will soften up and sound very lush and open. You will be amazed what they will sound like when fully opened up. The black cylinders I believe are tensioners for the split positive and negative but contact your dealer to confirm this. Glad you went with the HD 8. Enjoy......

"under your furniture"... that is definitely not part of the audiophile approved set-up procedure!

They really should be supported above the floor and away from base boards and power cables.

Very interesting reading, just when I thought I read all the forum articles on this topic I stumble across another :-)!
