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

@jasonbourne71 It is settled science how an audio signal travels through a wire. There is NO yet-to-be-discovered X factor!

How did you determine that it is settled science?

Can someone point me to a controlled listening experiment on cables where test audience noticed differences? So an ABX test, multiple random swaps, with p<0.05 [simple chi square will do], preferentially published in a peer-reviewed journal? 

And yes, this was a rhetorical question, as it does not exist. There is a simple reason for it. 

The most illuminating thing in Amir's review was the bad connector design, which is LESS secure than the amazon basic cable. Sort of funny, if it weren't that sad. Paying $4K for some bad RCA plugs. 

I've tried many different rca cables throughout the years. Nordost, Kimber, AQ, Synergistic, Jena Labs, many more. Heard differences in all of them. I settled on Cardas Quadlink 5C. I love them. Inexpensive. Well made. Outstanding customer service. I'm happy.
