聖HIJIRI Users thread

Not sure it is accurate to say they “ are vastly outperforming the competition”. Competition is a great big universe of brands and none of us have heard them all. Also, Hijiri is marked by a certain beauty of flow, tone and purity that will appeal to many, but perhaps others will want more of this or that other sonic attribute. The whole subjective thing comes into play. I will say they must be heard to find out if they “do it” for you like others have experienced.

Cable making is every bit an art also. Two cooks may be given the very same ingredients and asked to prepare the same dish. Both can taste very different. Cable building with like materials is the same. The Hijiri designer is skilled with the ingredients he uses. This is also a piece of the Hijiri “magic” as it should be. Can’t read about this in specs etc….

My speaker cables appear to be high purity, solid core copper.  The connectors are very high quality, but I don’t know if they are made internally.  The Nagomi power cord is very flexible suggesting stranded conductors. 

There are many online reviews to be found on his offerings.

Well said! I stopped reading the post after this comment 😂

“How are they fabricating these interconnects that they are so vastly outperforming the competition?

@lalitk,

Easy there big fella, I did not take @fai_v question as being negative at all. Fabricating/fabrication does not always mean an invention of a non truth.

I work in construction as a draftsman and the words fabricating or fabrication are used all the time. They too mean to construct or manufacture something, especially an industrial product produced in a shop or the field from some sort of plan or detail.

Almost everything built is from some sort of fabrication process, including our audio gear. And if you read what grannyring wrote, he actually took the time to explain to @fai_v the fabricating process of building cable from stock parts.

One of the things I respect about Bill is not the fact that he has audio knowledge I admire, but how he treats people. He try’s very hard to be civil to everyone and take the time to teach. We would all do well to follow his example.

Does this mean I’m some what of a pushover? No but the typed word can be taken wrong as opposed to talking to someone face to face. Or even on the phone.

We are to old for this, and everyday someone who used to be here on agon has gone on...Let’s enjoy this hobby.

Now, albeit I completely understand if one had a few glasses of wine or some shots of some fine Tennessee bourbon though!☺

@tyray you are correct.  I work in architectural manufacturing and what I meant by the word fabricating was gathering the required source materials and then making the part or parts, or in this case, the cable.

@grannyring , yes, it was not accurate for me to say that the Hijiri cables are vastly outperforming the competition.  They appear to be handcrafted and are able to offer a unique presentation to music.

Just read some of the reviews from the Hijiri site and translated some of the pricing to US dollars and for the HCI 1m rca pair it’s around $950. Anybody know is this still the price? The review was from 2018 I believe..
