Kimber 8tc w/ Mark Levinson 23.5 and Revel F52


Anyone care to submit their thoughts on above combination ?

Rest of systems is Classe six pre, basis Debut, Classe DAC, Parasound belt drive transport, Symposium Isis rack, Transparent reference and ultra cables.

What else would you suggest or have experience with ?

Thanks.

A great tweek for 8tc, get some clear tubing from home depot , or some round poly foam insulation and put in the middle of the braid, the 8tc will open up quite a bit and you can snake the tubing right down the middle of the cable, this is what kimber does in the more expensive cables in their line, it makes the braid angle more of a 90 angle, which lowers inductance, and it is an audble inprovment, good luck.
3/4 would work great, remember that as you open the braid up you will lose some length, but not alot. I have done this tweak many times with great results. If you hold the cable in both hands and push the braid closer together you will see that it opens up quite a bit, and the cross angles change to being more of a cross angle, this is good, and is what kimber does for all their more costly cables, they use carbon anti static sorbathane, but good luck finding that. you can take it a step further and fill the tube with pure silica sand for vibration controll, and get some nice jacket from parts connexion or tweak geek to finish them off, happy listening, chris
I will agree about revel f52s being underrated , they are fantastic when set up right, to my ear way better than many more expensive speakers, happy listening !!!
