Thoughts on Tara Lab cables?

Not at that price point! Tara Labs Prism is a solid core coaxial design and is warmer with more bass than PBJ or the TC series. You'll get a bit more detail and upper extension with the Kimber, however. One thing with Kimber's TCSS cable lines is to give it a very long burn in - many folks quickly condemn these cables as too bright, when it takes up to 500 hours to burn in all that teflon. I personally have heard both and prefer the cheaper Prism 22 over PBJ, the latter occasionally sounding a bit unrefined. However, the TC series is excellent at the price.

The answer is...who knows? As wire is basically a tone control, and completely system dependant. I have owned both. In absolute terms, the Kimber is a little better balanced tonally. The Tara brings out a little more shimmer on the top, and sounds a little faster. Over the long haul, the Kimber is probably a better overall choice, assuming your system is relatively flat.
