Kimber Kable - Naked Cables


Anyone tried them yet?

They were on static display last year at RMAF, unfortunately there was no demo available at the time.

@dpac996,

Despite the series name, the built was pretty solid. The only thing they warned against sharp bends during the installation.

@livlifdc,

lol...I pretty much told them that I wouldn’t bother to try the IC’s unless they have full loom, i.e. IC, speaker and possibly power cords. The look on Kimber rep was priceless. I also gave him bit of hard time for not able to demo this cable with EMM flagship electronics. I think they missed the golden opportunity to create a buzz.
First pro review is out!

“The Naked interconnects represent an impressive leap in cabling technology. This translates into an audio connection that is highly revealing and adds no coloration to the music. As a reviewer, I appreciate their complete neutrality. As a music lover, I enjoy how they get me closer to the music. Come on in everyone, the water is great. It's awesome to go Naked”.
@whipsaw,

Thank you for your post. I hear you on laws of diminishing returns. I think Kimber KS-1026 is their sweet spot, not inexpensive but still reasonable when compared with competition. When I held the Naked IC in my hands, I couldn’t help feeling this rush to take them home and try them in my system. They were simply gorgeous and if I may say, a work of art.

Let’s see what would be the next cable in Naked series. I am torn between Wenge or Purple Heart Balanced connectors :-)

What wood veneer is your Harbeth M30.1?
@whipsaw
If you’re happy with your system, I wouldn’t change anything. It’s easy to get carried away, been there done that.

But if you get the itch, grab a used bargain on a Kimber XLR. This addition may reap slightly better synergy :-)
