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 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.

One of the things about Hijiri cable especially the Million series of cable is it’s extremely robust construction. The design of the Million series of cable followed by the uncanny craftsmanship by Hijiri fabrication shop is unmatched.

When I first got the Million spdif and rca cables it took my awhile to figure how that type of rca jack mechanically operates. I realized the rca jacks used a ’screw sleeve nut’. Meaning, you have to hand unscrew the sleeve nut all the way open, then push them on to  the female rca jack and then, hand screw to tighten the screw sleeve nut.

They will get very tight on the female rca jack and if you forget they are screwed on, you can actually pull the outer sleeve of the female rca connector assembly completely off, thinking these cables are ’conventional’ cables.

So you have to be careful. You will have no problem with male/female connector contact with these cables. And this is all Japaneses engineering, design and fabrication. These cable are built to last and should last a lifetime. I hope this helps, happy listening!
