Hidiamond Cables, Do these reveal the live show?

I would like to add, since I have a complete loom of HD Cables (except for the Speaker cables) I believe the overall volume has increased.
That is, the settings on my Pass Labs Preamp are now lower than I used to use before the HD cables. I'm attributing this to the cleaner signal being transmitted.

Has anyone else noticed that the volume level has increased once the HD cables have been added?

Does anyone know how they compare to Elrod PC's.
I'm using Elrod's and can echo what is being said about the HD PC's with my Elrod's.
I'm all for trying new PC's, but I would like to hear from someone that has compared the two.
Does HD have a 30 day return. If so I would love to try a PC. If they best the Elrod, they would be something special.

The purest produced copper for cables in the world is Furukawa's PCOCC (FACT). BTW, what happened to all the old Hidiamond threads?

Zmanastronomy,
You stated "that cabling can only allow what your equipment is capable of to come through." Of course, you're absolutely correct. You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Jriggy,
You stated, "And has the most thorough and complete soundstage I have heard from my system." This is what I find stunning in my system now that the HiDiamonds are in place, the continuity within the sound stage.

Tubesandhorns,
I checked the HiDiamond website in Italy. They actually make their own cables at their Italian factory and they process the copper to a level of purity where no other cable company can compare. HiDiamond is a very well-researched and sophisticated product. The results that so many of us are hearing are no accident.

I don't know how HD cables create a live event but it must be 100% pure copper, graphite and manufacturing techniques.

These cables just gets out of the way with no boost or highlights in the crucial midrange. This results in a sound that is open, full with outstanding soundstaging, extending beyond the boundaries of the speakers.

It's without question that HD cables are flat out musical...

I recently purchased a HiDiamond Power3 PC and the Digital Reference AES/EBU (not on the NA distributors website).
This is the first PC I have put in my system, in any position, that seems to have it all and more. Most PC's are a game of trade-offs. The Power3 on my DAC brought out the musical emotion in a way that I find hard to explain.
It is still breaking in but so far the detail is amazing. But it is a different sort of detail --not analytical at all, it is pure musical texture. And has the most thorough and complete soundstage I have heard from my system.
I look forward to adding more!
The Digi XLR, I have not dove into yet. I want to get completely familiar with the PC first as I burn-in the digi....

To answer your question: I listen to a lot of live recorded rock and roll and am hearing the venue like never before.

I agree with Sabai's comments on this one. I believe the performance of any cable is based on the engineering and manufacturing techniques behind it. In the case of the HiDiamond, looking at their website gives some insight into their unique designs and what appear to me to be a more advanced metallurgy of their cables.

I believe I mentioned in a previous thread that I feel their connectors are superior as well. I've had extensive experience with WBT, Siltech, Cardas etc. and the HiDiamond are the best and most secure connectors I have used.

I currently have a pair of hi diamonds from my reel to reel deck and for the last week have bounced back and forth trying the xlr2 and D7 single ended cables between my Mcintosh c2300 and two mc275 power amps. In the end I have decided on the D7 single ended. Neither the pre or amps are truly balanced and it is a short run. The D7's have truly opened up my system. I run king sound prince ii full range planars.
The sound stage has improved greatly over what I had and detail has had a significant improvement. For the first time I can really place the instruments where they belong. Things like a deteriorating cymbal crash are now simply amazing.

Bacardi,
I think how they do it is the result of their research into making cables. What they do is unique so the sonic results are unique -- and very special. They certainly do reveal the live show in my system -- in spades -- like no other cables I have ever owned.

Revealing the live show is asking a lot from cables. If your system is capable of the live music sound, then the right cables can allow it to show up in the end result.
Transparency in IC's and SC's are a must to let the dynamics and attack come through. PC's are a science in it's self. The right PC can have a very pos. effect on livelyiness and attack. I don't use HD cables, I can't comment on them. But I have experimented with other brands enough to know that cabling can only allow what your equipment is capable of to come through.
Just my 2 cents worth.
