Kimber Cable Select

     Everything depends on whether you want your cables to transfer signals with no editorializing, or: to act as a tone control.

     I’ve been using both their KS-1130 and KS-1030s, in my system (on sources), over the past couple decades.

     Having listened through them with my own recordings/tracks: I’m confident that they allow what’s in my music/signals to flow without compromise*

                                          *iow: transparent

     Keep in mind: cables cannot add anything to a signal.   They can only block or hinder some things within a signal, which makes other aspects seem more pronounced.

     Something I noticed about Kimber, as I worked my way through their offerings: all had faithfulness/transparency to the music (ie: none warmer, cooler, more colored than another), but: the progression always yielded more in the way of ambience retrieval (sound space size/shape), organics, image specificity...well, you know- all that stuff that makes it more real and some don't believe exist.

      Here's a way to select from a variety of Kimber's Kables, without having to purchase before auditioning:

       Use their Lending Library (providing you find something of interest) and any rental fee will be deducted, whether you buy new or used (hard to lose).

Will the C2700 preamp translate warmth into the system using these cables...?

     You’ll undoubtedly have enough valves in your system, to tune the tone to your own tastes, especially: if you get a tubed CD player.

     ie: If things aren’t warm enough for your tastes, with the OEM nine pin miniatures; find some NOS Amperex for the C2700.  Not warm enough?  Try some NOS Mullard or Brimar.

     Should you decide to enter the tube rolling arena: be certain whatever tubes you purchase for your preamp, test as VERY low noise.
