Any feedback from HMS cable ?


Does any of our Audiogon member (exept the official HMS dealer:) had any experience with the HMS speaker cable and IC?

I know I have done some rather bold statements which I will not repeat here. Everybody interested, can judge for himself in his own system, with his own ears, if these statement are true or not.
This is how it should be done all the time, regardless if it is cables, speakers, amps etc.
But sometimes you can see a product pictured somewhere and just by looking at how high the quality of manufacturing is, how it stands out of the crowd in this respect, it will tell you if this product deserves of being investigated further. The more time a company puts into the engineering process, the better a product will look and sound.
i will answer the initial posters' question....i have tried the hms 'grand finale' ics now for over a week.i will,without stuttering,say they are the best ics i have ever had in my system....tenor amps..piega p10 speakers...scd-1...valhalla speaker cables.that said..i have a pair of valhalla ics coming to try next week against the hms ics. christian,tekunda,has been gracious enough to allow me to try a pair of his hms speaker cables so i can compare an hms system vs valhalla system.it should be interesting.for now..i have no problem telling anyone that the hms ics are..at least in my system...superb.. and i have used audio tekne..xlo limited edition..cardas..synergistic reference..transparent ultras and others prior to trying the hms ics.if the hms can equal or even come close to the valhallas' they will be a great investment for those systems that will benefit from them.how will you know that?.....you need to plug them in..don't waste your time listening to all the brilliant posters out there who speak with 'all the confidence of ignorance'.if i am not mistaken..there is a 'money back guarantee'.
hi Calloway, don't get nervous....but the weight of the whole "cable world" will be on your shoulders this week.....we will all be waiting.....get lots of sleep and get that hearing aid serviced too...hahaha
Hello,

I have purchased a 2 meter pair of HMS Grand Finale from Tekunda (Christian). First off I want to say it has been a great pleasure doing business with Tekunda. He has always returned my calls and emails and is very helpful with any questions I throw at him. He is truly a man of his word. I am not one great with audiophile layman style words but I will try my best. The cables, YES the cables. I got them on Friday and was not expecting them until Saturday because it was 2 day for delivery on Saturday. I was surprised to see them one day early. Christian had already burned them in for me on his cooker. I replaced my Nordost SPM's with these way different polished ferrite cables. I put a SACD of OPUS 3's reference recording on my Marantz SA-1 and immediately heard a difference. I know this recording well as I played it many times. It was if I did a major upgrade on a component. Sounds were much more clear, clean highs and a bass that seemed much more natural. I will be honest I have not heard the revered Valhalla's on my system as I would spend what it would cost me for them on my future amps (Tenor OTL's). But that is another story. I am a true believer in these cables. They are absolutely keepers! If anyone has any questions for me on these cables or wants more feedback please feel free to email me.

for all of you that did not read my post on the audio asylum regarding the hms cables i will give you a quick paraphrase.i compared a complete valhalla syatem with a complete hms 'gran finale' system on my gear...tenor 75wi amps..piega p10 speakers..scd-1 fully modded.i have subsequently sold my valhalla gear as i found the hms cables the equal to and in some respects better then the valhalla cables.they are that good,imo,in my system. they still are not cheap,but when compared to the valhalla,maybe they are..because they do perform at a level comparable to cables many times their price.i have not heard all of the top cables..siltech G5,jena 'symphony et al',and others but these are staying in my system until something else beats them badly.
