Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects

Hi Bacardi

The cables i have are dealer demos. I suppose they would have a couple of hundred hrs on them. And yes the value of the HD cable is very good. Half of what the entry CT 1 cables. I would envisage the the CT 1e to be better but it will be over 4 times the price of the HD 8. If i only require very short lengths of speaker cables i would be able to jump on the CT1e for HD do not make short length speaker cables.

Actually the HD 9 speaker cable is their top of the line.

@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......
