While I have never heard the Sky, I recently installed a meter of KS1130 XLR in my system between Bryston preamp and Bryston 4BSST power amp. The result was a great improvement as the sound became bigger, with more detail, warmth and realism. The KS1130 is therefore highly recommended, but cables are tricky. Trust your ears.
Audioquest Sky XLR vs Kimber Select 1130
Having just bought Kimber 8TC speaker wire for my evolving high end system & AQ Sky XLR's for my dac, I was curious to know what Audiogoners thought was the best XLR cable? I should preface that in saying I have just bought a pair of 1mtr AQ Sky XLR cables based on overwhelmingly positive reviews. Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences..Cheers!
