Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects

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

The Hidiamond D9 interconnect is not Hidiamond's top of the line cable according to the pfd document from worldwidewholesales. They list a cable called signal ultimate for $5,600 @ 1 meter. I noticed that cable on the Italian version of the Hidiamond website a couple of years ago; however, that cable longer exists currently on the Hidiamond website.

When I purchased my D9 ICs, I asked the seller if he found a cable that he liked better. He told me that the only reason he purchased the D9 ICs was to hear what the hype was all about. He uses a full loom (iirc) of Jorma Design - Prime cables. The ICs and SC are $10k and $12k respectively.

I asked a different seller why he was getting rid his D9 ICs. The reason: he likes JPS Labs Aluminata ICs better than the D9s. The Aluminata ICs cost $3,149 for a pair @ 3/4 meter in length.

There will always be a cable that you like more than your current ones.

I'm curious to know how the Jorma Prime and Aluminta stand up against each other and the High fidelity cables.

Im not in this discussion since begining but cant wait to share my happiness with other agoners about my HFC CT-1u cable. Im recently bought a demo pair of RCA HF CT-1 ultimate Interconnect to replace the position of a pair of Transparent Reference MM1 from CDP to preamp, still using Transparent Reference cables from preamp to monoblock and speaker cables, wow, what a magic improvement it made !. CT-1U improved the sound magically like I have a totally new system, brough me lot of suprise day by day when I listening to old CDs, some I even though in past was not good recorded but now become vey high quality. The CT-1U cable is very detailed but not at all analytical, totally balanced through out all level, sweet mid, strongest and solid bass I ever heard from my system but never too much, soundstage is just fantastic like 3D, my wife said no need to go theatre anymore bcs we have an in-house one already, especially when you hear the big orchestra playing. The cable had revealed lot of hiden capabilities of the system that I thought dont exist, especially those with tannoy speakers. What a great cable ! However I think combination of HCF and Transparent cables will be better than using one brand alone. Each brand can benefit the other with their strengths. My system including Tannoy Canterbury SE and st-100, MBL Cdp, Audio Note preamp and 300B mono power amp.

It would be nice to have an accessory that adds magnetic conduction to any cable similar to Bybee Golden Goddess speaker bullets.

Per Rick Schultz of HFC, magnetic conduction requires a different cable. I hope there are alternatives. These HFC cables / tubes are simple too expensive to cut it open to satisfy my curiosity.

The HFC CT1U are definitely in a different league (I have the digital version) but the steep price is worth mulling over, esp when you can spent a couple grand to upgrade your power conditioning or isolation that have their merits.

The more I compare HD D8 with the HFC CT1E speaker cables, the more I like the D8, it sounds more "robust" and textured in my main system.
