Lots of great comments in here. Keep them coming.
I believe that @kimurastanley also has some Hijiri. If you'd comment, that'd add value. Thank you.
聖HIJIRI Users thread
Based on a discussion with another forum member, I've been reading up on this Comback Corporation brand. The reviews I've found have been pretty positive, but I've also learned over the years to take all reviews with a grain of salt. So the purpose of this thread is for users to share their input on 聖HIJIRI cables. When you share, if you'd discuss what model of HIJIRI you demoed and what brands/models they were compared to, that'd be very helpful.
A little background: a few years ago I was reading the Audio Envy threads and decided to give them a try as the seemed to compete with much higher-priced cable. So I decided to give AE a try. I found both the $179 P2 and the $279 M3 to easily best an Isotek power cord at $1k. So that got me thinking even more about value products. I was about to give Zavfino a try and then was given another recommendation to give HIJIRI a try. So this is how I got here. I'll be very interested to hear all user comments on HIJIRI and this should be a good repository for the brand.
Here is their website: www.combak.net

I was introduced to Gestalt Audio by Grannyring. To say Colin is an *Honest* stand-up gentleman, no-pressure dealer, would be an understatement. I ordered cables from him and he delivered on a dime, always answered or returned calls immediately. I'm thankful to know him and his very unique, extremely musical product line. |
@pokey77 I think you mentioned that you hadn’t heard AE or Zavfino, but correct me if I’m wrong on that. Now I have not heard Cap’s NV11 ribbon SC or his Mega power cord, which I think used to be an off the menu type of thing. However, based on my time with the Prestige interconnects, the grounded and ungrounded power cords and the NV9 SC, I would say Zavfino interconnects are definitely better - and that’s both the Arcadia and Fusion, and the Power cable and speaker cables also perform at a higher level, but again, I haven’t heard the Mega or NV11 and I’m comparing those against the Prima mkII PC/SC. I would love to try Hijiri down the road. I get what lalitk is talking about with the constricted nature of the Zavfino cables- that may be related to the high temp PVC, as I’ve heard this gives more punch and detail although it doesn’t help as much with smoothness or ease. The Zavfino cables are definitely inserting their sonic signature on the music, but it’s very engaging to listen to. I am comparing Zavfino SC/PC against Silversmith and Puritan, as they don’t do looms. @lalitk you’ve heard both levels of the Hijiri cables? |
