Just judging by the title it was easy to guess what ASR would say. Their data seldom has anything to do with the sonic characteristics of what they are measuring. Don't waste your time on their site.
+1 @gkelly.
Cable Wars - ASR Review of Kimber KS 1036 Silver RCA Cable ($4500 pair)
Pretty much a "measured" tie with an Amazon cable...

I think I’m at a point where I just don’t care. I’m not throwing shade at ASR or their measurements. Instead, I’m at a point of: If the Kimber KS sounds great to me in my system during my time, should I still ignore this subjective experience, sell the Kimber, and then have less perceived enjoyment with the Amazon RCA even if my entire foundation was superficial with the Kimber? I don’t know, maybe I should post my response on ASR and do a comparison of Audiogon and ASR responses to see whether I can understand the great divide within this hobby. @jasonbourne71 thanks for the private message. I couldn’t respond back, but I don’t want your 1.0 meter Kimber KS 1036 RCAs even if they sound “terrific” in your system. I’m more of a Cardas guy, but appreciate your enthusiasm and support of Kimber in private. |
