Any feedback from HMS cable ?


Does any of our Audiogon member (exept the official HMS dealer:) had any experience with the HMS speaker cable and IC?

Don't know, but hey HMS guy, I just burned in a pair of Nordost Valhalla Speaker cables in my system. If you want to send me a demo pair, I'll give them an HONEST evaluation, taking into account the difference in list prices between the two. (My system lists for between $42,000 to $45,000 (including the Valhalla's). I'll also compare them to a pair of SPM's. So, HMS guy, are you ready for the Nordost challenge? Happy Tunes!

I am waiting for the delivery of a HMS phono cable.
I am the HMS guy, fatparrot. I am ready for the Nordost challenge. Actually one is already underway.
A customer of mine will get a set of HMS speaker wires next week, so he has an all HMS system, versus an all Valhalla system. As soon as he is done auditioning, he will post his findings.
But if you want to discuss the cables further, please contact me by email, since I do not want to run the risk by speaking more about my cables, that I am using this forum as an advertising platform. If you are up to this challenge let us discuss the details in private.
Tekunda, let me explain why I posted this challenge as if I had thrown down the gauntlet. First, there have been a lot of disparaging comments about you and the HMS cable running through the posting threads. I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS IS FAIR UNLESS SOMEONE HAS DONE A SHOOTOUT WITH THE HMS CABLES!!! That being said, the problem here is that these cables are an unknown entity in the audio community. And you've made some pretty bold claims. I really do hope that these cables are all that you've said that they are! Unfortunately, many times in our crazy and expensive hobby, the hype and hyperbole turns out to be just that, with little substance. I look forward to the shootout that is currently being done with the Valhalla set up. I understand that you do not want to send out many of the cables for a shootout. Hopefully, these cables will shortly get a review in some audio magazine. If not, use shootouts and word of mouth from satisfied people. If HMS is what you say it is, word will spread quickly. If it isn't, word will spread even quicker! I wish you the best of luck. Happy Tunes!
I know I have done some rather bold statements which I will not repeat here. Everybody interested, can judge for himself in his own system, with his own ears, if these statement are true or not.
This is how it should be done all the time, regardless if it is cables, speakers, amps etc.
But sometimes you can see a product pictured somewhere and just by looking at how high the quality of manufacturing is, how it stands out of the crowd in this respect, it will tell you if this product deserves of being investigated further. The more time a company puts into the engineering process, the better a product will look and sound.
