HiDiamond Power cords...


Has anyone tried the Power 3,2,1 power cords from HiDiamond. If so can you explain in best detail the qualities, strengths and which component you chose it on. I'm also curious which cords they compare to within the market.

Thank you guys for the reply. Another P4 is on the way, I'm thinking it'd go to the pre-amp. I will also try it on the DAC or amp as well. But my system is 2-channel/HT and pre-amp is where everything meet, including the sub (I use RCA output for sub and XLR to the amp).

If it is on the DAC, it might only improve 2-channel. I'm also intrigued with the kind of improvement I'd see if it is on the amp. Any thoughts? Could be a good learning experience trying P4 on each equipment.

I now agree with you guys that P4 is at whole another level than P3. With all the effort and money spent for the last 2 years putting together this system, it seems P4 is the door to the real high fidelity sound. All the equipment seemed to be hindered previously and P4 is that last missing piece. My first P4 is now from the wall to the power regenerator. Without me mentioning anything, my gf asked if I bought new equipment because it sounds so much better now. (BTW, even my TV brings out the pictures better. This is the comment from family and friends).
Kzhtoo, I would start with the P4 on the amp as it's gauge should be better for your amplification. I am awaiting my P4 20 amp to have the 15 amp connector put back on as I had sold my EAD Powermaster 2000(20amp) and now use a Hybrid tube Integrated(15amp). The P3 that was on it will move to my CEC belt drive player. As to the P4, it is a different league than a P3 for sure. I have 3 in my system and I've said in recent posts, my merry-go-round has stopped here......unless HD finds another realm that we aren't aware of.......Happy Listening....
I don't think the P4 preferentially improves hi-current components over low current or source devices. Beyond sheer current delivery, the P4 really excels at image solidity, nuance, and low noise. These traits yielded exceptional results with my Cary pre-amp, and Bryston digital components, as well as with my amps. Actually, I equipped my source components with P4's before my amps (which were on P3's) and without a doubt, the impact on the tube preamp and DAC were the most profound of all.

My suggestion is - P4 on highly resolving source components first, then on amps. But that's just with my system. Another option is to get 2 P4's, and try them around before deciding the best spot to start. Whichever way you go, you will quickly come to the realization that you'll need P4's all around!

And don't forget the long burn in. I invested in a Cable Cooker when I realized the path I was heading. It helps, but nothing replaces time.
Kzhtoo, I think whichever position you place the P4, when all is said you may have P4's on everything as I do. Your soundstage will expand with greater detail and depth, quieter background, extension and isolation. I couldn't imagine if say a P5 was made what it could achieve more than this cord can......Happy listening.
Thank you for all the info, guys. Second P4 is now on the Pass pre-amp (another P4 is from wall to power regenerator), the improvement is not subtle at all. Feel like a very worthwhile improvement. I ordered a set of D8 speaker cables also and will arrive in about 2 weeks.
