Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects

@Leicachamp.

I have the HD8 speaker cable and it needs alot of breaking in. I would say a good 200+ hours and it jumps up in stages. I think once it breaks in fully you will see that it is twice the cable you think it is now.....

@Leicachamp. I haven't heard the HF cables but I think the Hidiamond HD8 being a third of the price of the HF is a great price per performance deal. They do compete with some of the top-notch and top-priced cables out there. They really are stunning once they break-in 100%.

@Bander, the hd9 is there top Interconnect. The hd8 is there top speaker cable......

Leicachamp, they will improve a lot. They may sound a little grainy and smothered-like but at around 200-250 they will soften up and sound very lush and open. You will be amazed what they will sound like when fully opened up. The black cylinders I believe are tensioners for the split positive and negative but contact your dealer to confirm this. Glad you went with the HD 8. Enjoy......
