Denon1,
I am comparing with the Diamond 8 speaker cables and the Diamond 2 XLR ICs.
I have had SR Acoustic Reference ICs for a long time with my Merlin speakers -- recommended over the more expensive SR cables because of their no-silver content -- an excellent cable for my system. I have also tested ASI Liveline interconnects and speaker cables -- excellent cables. I have also had Cardas Golden Cross speaker cables with the cold forged spades -- also excellent. I have also used Gabriel Gold interconnects and speaker cables -- also excellent. I have also used lesser cables from other companies.
I use SR Galileo universal speaker cells and various Bybee products. The HiDiamonds are no-brainers compared with any other cables I have had in my system. When I compare with high end systems I have auditioned that had expensive cabling from other companies, the HiDiamonds deliver the best sound I have ever heard. I have not heard all of the high end cables out there but based on my observations of my system and high end systems that were much more expensive than mine I have no desire to go any further.
