Kimber KS-1130 or KS-1126

I need a 5m long balanced cable from my pre to the monoblocks. I have narrowed my selection to the 2 Kimber Selects. (I couldn't afford the KS-1136). Can anyone advise me which to get and their differences? I read that the KS-1126 is very close to the performance of KS-1136 so does that mean it is on-par with the KS-1130?

Advice please. Thanks in advance.

Shsohis,

I have been using KS 1130 from source to preamp and Silver Streak from preamp to power amp for several years now.
I recently upgraded to KS 1126 for pre to power amp....Wow!
I would say the KS 1126 is indeed comparable in performance to the KS 1130.
Nothing about the KS 1126 is forward in presentation - more detail, yet more refinement and very, very musical.

Happy listening!
J. :)

@jond,

You are quite likely right. Just in case, he hasn’t decided....

It took me 5 years after reading this thread to finally pull the trigger for the 1126. :)
