Cable Wars - ASR Review of Kimber KS 1036 Silver RCA Cable ($4500 pair)

That’s great! But I don’t understand what the problem is. If the ASR crowd believe they’re listening to a $4500 kimber interconnects when they have amazon interconnects in their system then be it. Hail Amir!

Other than trolling what’s the purpose of this thread?

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. 

Kimber Kable is a company that leverages nearly 50 years of experience and knowledge in designing their cables. They’re not trying to impress anyone with the marketing BS. They make a solid product at every price point. They also don’t come out with a new model every few years or so unless they found a way to improve on a current design.
I use Kimber interconnects and power cables, all reasonably priced, in my system. Very happy with the performance and value they represent. I could care less what the oscilloscopians at ASR are measuring or saying. Use amazon cables if you want. Whatever floats your boat.
