聖HIJIRI Users thread

Based on a discussion with another forum member, I've been reading up on this Comback Corporation brand. The reviews I've found have been pretty positive, but I've also learned over the years to take all reviews with a grain of salt. So the purpose of this thread is for users to share their input on 聖HIJIRI cables. When you share, if you'd discuss what model of HIJIRI you demoed and what brands/models they were compared to, that'd be very helpful.

A little background: a few years ago I was reading the Audio Envy threads and decided to give them a try as the seemed to compete with much higher-priced cable.  So I decided to give AE a try. I found both the $179 P2 and the $279 M3 to easily best an Isotek power cord at $1k. So that got me thinking even more about value products. I was about to give Zavfino a try and then was given another recommendation to give HIJIRI a try. So this is how I got here. I'll be very interested to hear all user comments on HIJIRI and this should be a good repository for the brand.

Here is their website: www.combak.net

“I am still waiting to read about the sonic differences between those (3) HIJIRI 

Power Cords.”

@jafant 

I am not going into super detail as I already mentioned the key differences in this thread. Nagomi works well as an entry point, an effective power cord for mid-tier systems but it clearly sits at the lower end of the Hijiri lineup. As you move up to models like the SM2R-L and TAKUMI, you begin to appreciate meaningful gains in scale: stronger dynamics, richer tonal saturation, greater smoothness, and a more natural sense of musical flow.

Since you already have “Million” series IC and Speaker cables, it makes sense to skip Nagomi.

If I may offer a suggestion based on photo 28 of your virtual system: go with a TAKUMI for your Ayre, and a pair of SM2R-L cables for your Accuphase and Luxman players. That should complete your setup nicely.

Hope this helps!

……I have listened to these cables, in my opinion they are far east junk . No soul too  for my tastes . I would compare them to Hemingway Cables . It took about five minutes with them as well in my system to say …..Junk.
