Even though I own all HiDiamond interconnects and power cords, I have maintained my DIY speaker cables that are made out of pure 9999 silver 14 & 18 gauge soft annealed wire.
I would be very interested in opinions of the D8 speaker cables from those of you who have them. For biwire, do you have 2 separate runs or are you using jumpers?
Siddh, if it helps my D7 sounded good after several days on a cable cooker plus about a 100 hours of play but really came into its own around 500 hours. Around then is when they show their stuff. Before that you will be wondering if this all of it. But wait it for it and you will have a smile on your face. Do not get me wrong as they sound good before that just not as great as the will sound. They will continue to improve a little for the next 500 hours.
As the D7 and D8 are similar I would expect the same from both.
Of course this is in my system and YMMV but I doubt by much in this case.
Jgwilson,HIFIal, thank you for your opinions. I always thought that my DIY speaker cables are the best I would ever need. But boy, am I tempted to complete the loom with all HiDiamond cables.
Ozzy, you know the only way to find out is try them in your system. You've already blown your kids inheritance. Thank GOD mortgage rates are still low so equity loan is an option for 2 pairs of D8s. LOL!!!
Ozzy, I must say if you do not have the HiDiamond Speaker Cables in your system then you do not know how much better your system will sound. As I have said before, out of all the HiDiamond Cable I have had in my system the only type that really made a worthwhile improvement was the speaker cable. Whether it was with the all HiDiamond loom or just by its self it stood out as a great cable.
