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.
Cable Wars - ASR Review of Kimber KS 1036 Silver RCA Cable ($4500 pair)
Pretty much a "measured" tie with an Amazon cable...

@gkelly what a spot on analogy. |
what is the point of this post? $4.5k RCA cable on my opinion is money waste, unless someone wants to impress fellow audiophiles... there are many excellent cables available, e.g. https://www.accuphase.com/model/sr_cable.html at much lower price. RCA cable, other than phono, on SQ impact Pareto chart stands low, unless initial cable is bad. |
I like how people who believe their ears (but not objective science, kind of like a religion) yet badmouth other audio sites or tell folks to not waste their time reading anything from there. They're too afraid to do a science based test to support their beliefs because they know (or should know if they're even middle school smart) they wouldn't be able to tell a Blue Jeans cable from Nordost or Wireworld's most expensive cables. |
@gkelly A poor analogy. It's a performance test. Does the car that looks like a Formula 1 go faster than a Chevette? THAT's the question. So they ran 1/4 mile track test and then they ran a road course with EXACT same lap times. NO difference. As it turns out the Formula 1 'that was tested' was no faster in any category. None, Nada, zilch!! It was FALSE to suggest it was faster when ,in fact, it was NOT faster. Remember... it's impossible for any cable to make things sound better. (or go faster) A cable can only make it sound worse.(go slower) In this case they were equal performers. If you have proof of this being incorrect please present your evidence. Otherwise it really is a stupid argument.
