If the cable is balanced with XLR's, Kimber's Silver Streak is as good as KCAG. The SS uses silver for both positive and negative legs, and copper for ground. The single-end/RCA version, on the other hand, has silver as the positive leg only, copper for both the negative and ground legs.

KCAG has the same wire in both balanced/XLR and unbalanced/RCA versions---all three legs of silver in both versions. Balanced/XLR and unbalanced/RCA Silver Streak, on the other hand, are different from each other. Balanced/XLR Silver Streak has two legs of silver, one (ground) of copper. Unbalanced/RCA Silver Streak has only one leg of silver, the other two of copper.

So in Balanced/XLR form, Silver Streak is different from KCAG only in having copper for ground as opposed to silver. Does the copper ground wire of the balanced/XLR Silver Streak result in it being sonically inferior to the all-silver KCAG?
