Dusty Chalk Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 AudiogoN ForSale: Kimble Kable Black Pearl Just reading the description is bad enough but look at the price... Jesus. That's more than my last two cars combined (one was used). And it's probably not even shielded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Jesus. That's more than my last two cars combined (one was used). And it's probably not even shielded. They are woven like all the other Kimber cables but no solid shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Why the fuck is the Kimber listed as 'exoteric'. Its anything but (at least in price) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I just can't get past the 60lb weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I just can't get past the 60lb weight. I think suckitalo needs to market some lead filled cables for speakers and a light version for headphones. Nothing says a committed headphone cable fanatic more then a 2kg cable tied to the HD650.

jinp6301 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Man, it looks really fun to beat someone with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLoudG20 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I just can't get past the 60lb weight. Duh. Gotta handle vibration control in the cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Nothing says a committed headphone cable fanatic more then a 2kg cable tied to the HD650 than whiplash.Man, it looks really fun like a lot of work lifting that thing -- and yet, still fun -- to beat someone with that.Fixed those for you.

Salt Peanuts Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I just can't get past the 60lb weight. Jebus, the damn thing weighs more than my power amp. Somewhat back on topic, I plan on trying out both anti-cables and 4S11 in my rig. At only bit over $1/foot, I won't be spending all that much even if I don't like one or both of them.

Knuckledragger Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I actually like Kimber ICs, and I've used Kimber speaker cable (hand terminating 8TC FTL). My only major concern about Kimber is that the don't use any strain relief and you have to careful that the components don't damage the cables. With those hideous things, you have to be careful that the cables don't damage the components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to keep things in perspective, for the price of one set of Kimber Black Pearls you could have nearly six miles of Canare 4S11. This will allow you to listen to your home rig while at work.

With those hideous things, you have to be careful that the cables don't damage the components. I once wired up a HT system for a friend with 8TC and when all was said and done my hands were a bloodstained mess. Great cables though and I still use a set of 4TC on my old speaker rig.

Pars Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I use 8TCs on mine (25' runs) and terminated one end myself. I didn't think it was any big deal terminating them into postmaster spades? I still wish I wouldn't have sold the 25' biwired 4TC/4VS set I had... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I've used spade-terminated 4TC speaker cables for years between my Anthem Int-1 and Joseph Audio RM7si/sig speakers. I've never felt the need to upgrade (i.e. spend more money). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frihed89 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I use Audio Note Lexus ICs and speaker cables for all my equipment, except headphone cables. These are a bargain at their prices, and perform quite well even when compared to Audio Note AN-Vx at much higher prices. I also think that Drew Brewer is very good at building cables, but I have never heard his speaker cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
