HiDiamond Power cords...
Ozzy,As with all the HiDiamond cables in my system, their PCs excel in low level detail, sound stage, transparency, dynamics and tonality. The continuity of the sound is the clincher -- superior to what SR cables create in my system. The feeling o...

Polk432,Thank you. His ID is joe0506jj.For me it is the principle here. I don't like to lose $246 -- but it is not the end of the world. The issue is that seller misrepresented the offering then tried to put the blame for damage on the courier -- ...

I had a recent near-death experience with a pair of speakers that arrived within a fraction of destruction. The box was dropped from a height. I was lucky -- thanks to my insistence on TRIPLE boxing.I was not so lucky recently with another poor-pa...

Ozzy,I just swapped 2 HiDiamond PCs into my system today -- on the transport and the DAC. First impressions -- they are excellent. But since my AMR DP-777 is just breaking in and is in a "transitional" mood I cannot give a more detailed report yet.

Tbg,I have submitted negative feedback to Audiogon. It has not appeared. I don't imagine it ever will. I am awaiting the decision from PayPal. I find it rather humorous that the seller rated his offering at 7/10 on Audiogon but once I submitted my...

Elberoth2,I think this will be the same outcome in my case. I live in a remote area and it took weeks for me to to have it shipped over and to arrange pick-up. The seller is not interested at all in hearing the reason for this delay -- of course. ...

Loomisjohnson,I had two mishaps recently. In one case some very expensive speakers were shipped without one of the large foam cushions. Luckily, the triple boxing I arranged saved the day -- by a fraction.In the second case, the packaging was simp...

I just left negative feedback -- the first time I have ever felt it necessary to leave anything but positive feedback. I am waiting to see if Audiogon posts it.

I am going through a similar thing at the moment with an Audiogon seller. The item was not double boxed. It was packaged with a few Styrofoam popcorns that did not provide any protection for it. The AC adapter was cracked on arrival. And the conte...

Ozzy,Is the new HiDiamond digital you have in your system AES/EBU? 
HiDiamond Power cords...
Ozzy,I have SR power cords (the Hologram D and Precision Reference). I will be receiving the HiDiamond power cords this weekend and will post here once I have a chance to listen to them. 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Yo2tup,Most welcome. I'd be very interested to know what Amperex tubes you swapped in to replace the stock AMR tubes. 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Yo2tup,If you Google the manual you will see the diagrams included. It is easy to do -- just do steps one and 2 for replacing tubes. The only hitch is that you need the exact tools for removal. I found that anything smaller or bigger will not allo...
