HiDiamond Speaker Cables

I have to agree with Hifial. In my experience two sets of speaker cables have sounded better than one set used in conjunction with jumpers. I have also found that tri-wiring with 3 sets of speaker cables have sounded better than one bi-wire set with another single set of speaker cables.

The least effective sound has been with a single set of speaker cables and a factory set of "solid" jumper brackets (not Cable jumpers).

The next best sound was with one set of speaker cables with short matching speaker cable jumpers.

Bi-wired cables probably fit right around here depending on their design, as well as the speaker design. I don' t like the bi-wired Cable option as much, because it doesn't leave me with a logical upgrade path to have 2 matching sets of speaker cables down the road, and the bi-wired set may not be needed with my next pair of speakers.

The best sound in my experience was with 2 matching sets of speaker cables. It improves the overall presentation, things like; sound-staging, imaging, transparency, resolution and air. The improvements aren't incredible but they are there. Currently, I'm using one set of speaker cables with matching jumpers and I will add a matching set down the road, when funds allow it.

I would buy the Best single pair of cables that you like and use a set of matching cable jumpers and then you will have a nice upgrade path for adding a matching set of the same cables down the road if you so choose.

4 meters is kind of long (expensive), ouch!!
Why don't you rearrange your system and put your amp in between your speakers?

Rich, Thanks for your thoughtful response. I will probably go with the single run with jumpers first.

I wish I could put the Amp in the middle, but I am limited due to: Home theater equipment, Audio Equipment, proper speaker separation, and outlet placement.

I saw and listened to Hidiamond at the Newport audio THE SHOW and the combination of LAMM industries fabulous SET mono blocks dc10audio Berlin R and HiDiamond were my favorite sounds at the show I would say MBL a close second I don't remember which cables MBL set up used used.

Although one can't credit great sound to just the cable collection it was clear that the HiDiamond delivered all the sound and was open and real and dynamic!!

Well I just purchased a PS Audio P10 Power regenerator at a pretty good price, so now I will need another P4 power cord for it.
I guess the speaker cables will have to wait.

My Pleasure Ozzy!
Congrats on the new PS Audio P10!

Kindly let us know how it turns out.
