Does anybody hear HMS speaker cables?

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. One thing concerned me
is the box on the speaker cable. Is it for Phase
correction or it's for impedance matching only.
Will it cause the hi-frequency roll off or slower
the speed? If a white brand power amp (e.g.
Goldmund) is used, will this box cause any mis-
matching? Any idea? Please advise. Many thanks.

MAy I answer the question Martin?
The box is there to adjust the current rise time in 9 to 16 steps. It is NOT a Network box, rolling off frequenciese like the Transparent cables e.g.
Between amps and speakers there is almost all the time a current rise time mismatch, which creates distortion.
So it is the opposite of your assumption:
The box will help to solve the mismatch problem with your speakers and Goldmund amps (since most of the time there is one, only the audiophile is not aware of it, since nobody has told him and other cable companies seem not to care) and not create a mismatch problem of its own.
Mr. Strassner knows enough about cables and currents. He would not have invented the box, if that was to create more problems. The box is there to fine tune components and cables to an unheard of degree. And it shows (I mean you can absolutely hear it)

Hi Tekunda,

Thanks for your advise. So, the box has it's
special function to match the rise time. I
have browsed the website of HMS and found that
the box circuit would not affect the signal path.
Anyway, with or without box is fine to me, the
most important is the sound is good and it's
easy matching between power amp and the speakers.

I don't have the speaker cables but do have the interconnects. To my mind they are amazing and I hope to have a review in soon.

Using the hms interconnects changed the whole sound of the system. Much more clarity, inner detail, microdynamics. Couldn't believe what I wasn't hearing before. The most amazing and suprising upgrade I have made. This is only with interconnects from the dac to preamp.
