Fplanner2000,
Aw shucks! I just order a 3m p3 on Thursday... Sorry we missed each other. |
Jriggy-
I have a 4m P-3 barely used(25 hours) that just got freed up and could use another 2m p-3 or p-4 in pristine condition. If that's what you have, please pm me with your proposal. |
Will do Knghifi!
I wanted to check here first but Im dying to get the amp and PC3 back to the wall... |
Knghifi, Yeah the wife and kids may be disappointed, but my dog still loves me.
His favorite song is from the Beatles, "Good Morning". Before he would howl(sing)near the end when the dogs started barking. But with the P4's he will start singing at the beginning of the tune.
Each HD P4 added continues to add depth and realism that I did not think was possible. |
Ozzy, You took my advice and spent your kids inheritance? LOL!!! 04-07-13: Jriggy
Anyone have an extra long P3 to sell or trade for a 2m P3 + a few bucks? I need a P3 around 9 or 10 feet. My current P3 is like 6'8"

@Jriggy, that's too bad as I need about 8-8.5 feet for my sub... Contact Robert and order any custom length. |

I ordered my 4th Powercord 4. I began moving my extra Powercord 3's to my home theatre equipment.Try the Powercord 3 on the Oppo 95, quite impressive.
Finally, I am rid of all of my Synergistic Research cables. |
I switched my HD 7 interconnect on my sub for an XLR2 because my new Pre has XLR. All I can say is that it is a huge improvement in tightness of bass, volume & defenition. Not saying the HD7 wasn't good - just the XLR obviously suits this component set-up. I actually needed to turn my dial on my sub down from 11 o'clock to 10 o'clock. Absolutely amazing!!!!, |
@Guidocorona, it is a custom order for an ungrounded cord at the factory to be made. |
Hi Bacardi, are your HiDiamond PCs ungrounded by your special order, or are HiDiamond cords ungrounded by default at the factory?
G. |
@Jackwalker, the ungrounded means the ground is taken out. The ground pin is still there but nothing in the cord. I'm assuming it's capped off. Commonly used for pre amps/processors. |
Why do you put "ungrounded" in your post Bacardi? |
My ungrounded P4 has about 250+ hours on it now and I have noticed an extremely silent noise floor. The soundstage width and depth has increased and the bass seems to have more weight to it. The extension this power cord can do is absolutely amazing. I would suggest "ANYONE", and I stress "ANYONE looking for a topnotch power cord for its price to give the HiDiamond Power 4 a try. You will not need an audition thats for sure. And you will keep it!!!!!! |
Kzhtoo, I don't know what you were using prior to ordering the HD P3 but I am very impressed with the P3.
I think you'll be very pleased.
The P3 took about 3 days of break in on my Cable Cooker. So,without a cable cooker you may have to wait a few hundred hours to fully appreciate the cables.
P.S. The P4 takes about double that time for break in. |
Ozzy, I'm very interested in your experience with P3 on Pass amp and pre. I have XA30.5 + XP-10 pre and I just ordered 4 P3s. |
Drove up to the Montreal audio show hoping to see and hear these cables but they were nowhere to be seen or heard.
Disappointing as it was, I ended up buying a couple of Nordost power cords instead. Someone might want to let them know that they missed a great show and a good opportunity to get exposure for their cables . |
FYI- Ad is up. And both PC are no longer available. |
Well I now have 3 of the P4 power cords.And I have lost count on the P3's. I did notice that the P3 is very good on my Oppo Blue ray player. The video looks better but the sound quality had definatly improved. I was using a TG power cord on it before.
I have one P4 on my CD/Dac, one on my BSG Qol and still undecided if the P4 sounds better on my Pass Labs Preamp or my Pass Labs Amp.
I'll wait until the powercord is fully broken before I decide. I hope I won't have to buy one more... |
@Hifial, just pay for the ad like everyone else. List it and play the game. |
Knghifi
It is in the works. I wanted to take photos for the add. I posted here first as THIS is were there IS an interest already.
Also they ARE for sale.
And will also be posted on FREE forums besides PAID sites. Audiogon is not the end all it once was. It wounded itself and has still to recover.
In the recent months I had so many offers on listings that turned into vapor and that is not counting all the ridiculous low offers.
So unless you have any interest in the PURCHASE of the cables...
Thank you very much. |
Don't get me wrong this Emotiva is dynamic as can be, and my bass is at the lowest output of -10. I'm not saying flaws either. The characteristics of this P4 are phenominal but I will try the ungrounded to see the low noise level to the pre. Otherwise even try it on my Oppo 103. See what sounds better. |
I have been playing with cables for far too many years to mention and I will say I have owned most of the very top models of cables by most of the name recognition brands. My system consist of Burmester and Pass lab mono blocks. I started out with HiDimond signal cable and some P3 over a year ago and in the past few months have added the D8 speaker cables and P4 power cables.
Unlike most people my hopes were not that high because most of the cables I previously considered "reference" cost much more than the HiDimond loom and in fact I have 1 cable that cost more than all the HiDimond cables I have combined. I am not on here to trash talk any other manufacturer. I just wanted to say that HiDimond cables have far less of an equalizing effect on may system than my previous reference cables and all the positive comments on this forum are 100% accurate. I can normally find some sort of a negative effect that cables cause on my system but the HiDimond cables did not have any negative effects and in may opinion the HiDimond cables are having little to no effect on my system.
This is just my opinion and I am not in to the forum thing but this really is a great cable so I just thought I would tell you my experience. |
Hifial
Why are you selling Hidiamonds? Are you moving to something else, they did not meet your expectations, or you are moving up within HD?
Thanks. |
it really isn't a problem. I have one P4 already and knowing what it is capable of I am thinking it'll just enhance what it has already done. The Emotiva UMC-200 is an amazing piece and wondering what the P4 will do connected to it. |

FYI. HiDiamond Cables for Sale.
I will be selling the following HiDiamond Cables. When you ARE selling the cables, don't be a cheapskate and pay for a listing. |
I totally agree with Knghifi. The cables are not designed to fix flaws in your system, but rather to expose them with their transparency. I wouldn't expect them to do what you are hoping for unless you have isolated your problem to the preamp pc. |

I'm awaiting my ungrounded P4 for my Emotiva pre. It's my second P4 in my system and hoping it'll tighten the bass with less bloat and broaden the soundstage. Etc.
Bacardi (Reviews | Threads | Answers | This Thread) What makes you think the problem is the pre PC? Have you tried different amps, speaker positions ...? |
FYI. HiDiamond Cables for Sale.
I will be selling the following HiDiamond Cables.

2)One pair of D2 XLR Interconnect Cables at 1MT-$850.00.
3)Two D3 Power Cables at 1.5MT-$550.00 per cable.

Well I put the P4 Powercord on my Pass Labs Amp. There definitely is an increase in deep bass along with a more fleshed out sound.
I'm going to get another for my BSG Qol. |
@Bacardi, thanks! I might go that route if I can't find any comparisons online ;-) |
Recieved my second P4 power cable. I cooked it for three days on my Audiodharma cable cooker before trying it.
First I tried it on my Pass Labs preamp, then my Pass Labs Amp and finally on my BSG QOL unit. In these three places I noticed just a slight improvement.
I knew Pass equipment has been referred to as not requiring anything special in the way of power cords so, I put the P4 on my BSG QOL unit.
As I said the first day after the cable cooking there was not too much improvement, but today, one day later, there is a remarkable change in the sound quality.
Perhaps this change is do to just coming off the cooker or just needing more playing time, I dunno..
So, I'll let it play for a week on the QOL and then try it again on the Pass Amp and then the Pass Preamp. |
I order a P3 on Wednesday and received it (from Canada) on Friday. Pretty amazing service! Out of the bag it sounds ground. It does have a very little bit of hardness/glass in the lower treble but I'm sure it will diminish with a few hours of burn in. I must say the descriptions of this cable are accurate - this cable is spooky real. |
@Newbie79, I myself haven't tried a P2 power cord but you could always purchase 1 of each and try them and pic from the two. I started my HD with P3's and bought more and moved on to the P4. |
Has anyone compared the HiDiamond power cords to the latest Elrod cords? I'd especially be interested in a comparison of the P4 to an Elrod Statement Silver or Statement Gold. |

Where can one find information on these, particularly prices, where to audition or buy in the U.S.? Thanks |
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can give a comparison of the P2 compared to the P3 power cord? I'm very tempted to try HiDiamond but I'm not sure which one to try. The P3 is a bit out of range but I'd be willing to spend a bit more if the difference in sound quality is large (enough)...
What are the main differences between the cables in terms of sound?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance! |
Fplanner2000,Guidocorona,Knghifi,
Ok I went ahead an ordered another P4.
I'll try it first on the Amp , then the Preamp and then the Qol. |
I just bought three of the P3s and a pair of the D7 interconnects. Very impressed with the sound out of the box to say the least. Am wondering what kinds of sonic benefits folks have experienced with further with break-in on these cables, and how significant they are?
Also, has anybody compared the D7 interconnects to the D8s? Also curious about their phono cable. |
Ozzy, enjoy yourself ... Your kids will probably appreciate it later accomplishing on their own hard work. :-) |
Knghifi, Thanks, there goes my kids inheritance... |
It all depends on the component. In my system, DAC is the most sensitive, then pre and last is the amp.
Ozzy, since you only have a stereo amp, you can try on both. |
Hi Ozzy, on my system, I would definitely follow Harve's recommendation.... My Rowland Criterion Pre being markedly less sensitive to PCs than my Rowland M725 amps. Guido |
Really, before the Preamp? |
Do you have 1 on your amp? If not, that's where the next P-4 should go. |
Fplanner2000, You were right on!
Placing the P4 on the CD/Dac is a big sonic improvement.
I thought that placing the P4 before the Power Conditioner would benefit all of the components plugged into it, but I guess I was wrong.
Next, to save up for another P4 for my Preamp. |
Fplanner2000, Thanks, I'll give it a try this weekend. |
