@mikelavigne  Thanks for updating the thread here.  
Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!
Most power cords I've had in my system burned in within a week. I remember one specific PC, a Nordost Frey 2. I borrowed one from my dealer to audition and it was long ago burned in, so when I put it in my system, it took probably less than a day ...

So, I was noodling around the Hijiri website and found this link for a SM2R-L review. It is from 2019 and can be found on the front page. High Fidelity (combak.net)

@gestalt  Colin, I appreciate the initial insight on this new cable. Will be very interested in reading your thoughts on this cable, especially vs. the Nagomi.  
聖HIJIRI Users thread
@waltersalas  Wow, thanks for all the info.    I am glad you mentioned the Nagomi and TWL Obsession. I will definitely try the Nagomi this year. I had been thinking a few years back about giving the Obsession a try but moved on from that for wh...

@rareace  I am using IsoTek Optimum only on my Sigmas power conditioner. Using Audio Envy on my preamp (P2) and amp (M3) and Nordost Frey 2 on my source. Audio Envy, for me, is much much better than the Optimum, no contest. Planning to try Hijiri... 
Is system synergy worth having matched components?

Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
It is not about Class A or D. It is about sound quality. If you want to hear a very good Class D amp, check out the TAD M2500; 95 lbs and sounds truly amazing. I have it and the matching preamp and E1 speakers. My end game core system.  
Do good power cords have to be stiff?
Audio Envy. Both the P series and the M series are very flexible and sound quite good.

Gentlemen, I think this is the Audiogon (two post above) we all want to see. Happy Sunday to you all.   Now I gotta get back to my listening session!  
聖HIJIRI Users thread
I knew, before I started this thread, that Gestalt Audio were dealers for Hijiri. I just wanted to gather more info and user experience on this cable line. As was mentioned by another, I too care about the folks on this forum. I've learned a good ... 
聖HIJIRI Users thread
Wow, I was here just over an hour ago and then come back and the thread just blew up. I understand your pessimistic view ozzy, I do. But you have certainly made it known in a number of posts - your questioning of grannyring's integrity, as walters... 
Sony SCD-777ES, Oppo UPD-205 or Marantz SA-KI Ruby
I’ve heard the ruby player a few times and it just sits at my dealers. The SA 10 is the one you want. Of course, YMMV.
