Audioquest Vs Kimber

I'm looking at the Audioquest Viper and the Kimber Hero for use between my Cal Cd player and Goldmund Integrated amp, right now theres just slighty too much bass, I prefer a lighter leaner sound with a lot of air. Has anyone compared these two cables? Or just Audioquest vs Kimber in general. I know they both have the rep to be brighter sounding and thats just what I need in my warm system. Which of these cables is more detailed and has more air?

Funny, I thought the AQs I had (the old Diamond and Lapis) were pretty mellow, while my Kimber KCAG was definitely bright. In my system, the Mapleshade ribbons work better than either (cost less, too).

I would have to say AQ spk cable is far from bright in my estimation...if anything...it was bit dark...with a big, warm sound with good depth...perfect for bright systems...maybe a tad dull in the detail department...but very musical...I have yet to hear KIMBLE...

I bought a CAL CL-10 years ago and the dealer include a pair of Kimber Silver Streaks and a pair of Cardas 5c's to compare and I love them both for different music. I have a bunch of Audioquest cables but they are all usb or HDMI. It is all personal taste, I'm sure any good Audio Dealer will help you with a some different ones to try and you decide. I currently looking to upgrade my Sub-woofer cables and everyone agrees that KimberKable HERO'S XLR is best way to go regardless of price!!
