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

@gochurchgo I think comparing the Lavricables (Grand, their top-of-the-line) to Hijiri would be like comparing apples to oranges. 5N silver vs whatever the hi-grade copper is used with Hijiri cables. Don't get me wrong they are both very good, but I would think they sound somewhat different. I own a full loom of the Grand but I only have one Hijiri power cord and have not had the luxury of hearing the interconnects or speaker cables. If you were to purchase the HIJIRI brand from what I know I would suggest you go with the “Million”.

Besides Lalit, (I know what speaker cables he has), for those using Hijiri PC's and Interconnects, what speaker cables are you using and why?

Hoping you'll start an Aries Cerat thread and talk about your system. I can't even imagine how good it must sound.

Also, it'd be great if you'd comment on what Hijiri power cords and interconnects do for you system compared to what you used previously.

I use Hijiri HCS 25. They are perfectly balanced top to bottom. I especially like how they set the stage just a tad back compared to many speaker cables that sound a tad forward and forced to my ears.

I wish I could update you on my Aries Cerat Equipment but I am not receiving it until the end of the year.  Right now, I have the AC Essentia Mono amps.  I will be getting the Aurora Speakers, Ageto Pre, and Kassandra 2 DAC.  I will report out on WBF when the time comes.

As far as cables go, I believe I reported my findings somewhere here or WBF.   About 8 months ago I did a shootout between my custom Dueland Helix Custom Power Cords with Hijiri, Tchernov, and Inakustic.   I would rate them as follow:  Hijiri / Inakustic /Tchernov / Dueland Helix.  The bottom line was that the Hijiri was just more musical, lush, and detailed, with excellent bass response.  I ended up buying The Hijiri Takumi for my Inakustic 3500P Power Conditioner and Lampi Horizon DAC.  I traded all of my Dueland Helix cords for a Hijiri Nagomi which I have in my Lucas Audio LDMS.   Right now I have MIT AC Rev 2 for my AC Essentia amps.   When I get the AC equipment, I will use the Takumi's on the Essentia Amps and move the MIT's to the crossovers.  I do have the MIT's listed for sale on US Audiomart.  It won't bother me if they do not sell as I need them regardless.   BTW, I just added the Network Acoustic Muon Pro cabling and Filter ethernet cords and they shine!!!!!  They shine even more after I added a very inexpensive D-Link switch to them.  I was shocked.

I have two sets of Hijiri RCA cables and I had one Sternklang SPDIF cable.  Again, thanks to Colin King at Gestalt Audio in Nashville, I was able to demo various RCA and Spdif cables.  Because the Hijiri was a little lush, I really liked the added punch that Sternklang provided.  

I did have the Inakustic interconnects...I think the 4004 air but I can't remember.  They are fantastic cable in their own right and I had 11 offers to buy them when I listed them in one hour.  Obviously, I priced them too low lol.  

My speaker cables were custom-made by my speaker maker.  They are all silver. 

Now, when my AC equipment arrives, I need two more pc's, and 4 sets of speaker cables and I am switching to BNC from SPDIF.  I have to say I am intrigued by the QSA Landrei series of cords and cables.  I might try them given you get a 30-day money-back guarantee.
