Hi Unison77 - Kimber does NOT shield their analog signal cables. That likely is the reason for the hum. You might also consider that the KS 1021 is not a designed phono cable- it is a standard analog interconnect meant to handle signals in the 2-5 Volt range. Your phono cartridge puts out a mV level signal, so you would be losing some time and phase coherence at best. It would be better to use a designed, shielded phono cable for your purposes.
Kimber Select 1021 vs Nordost Red Dawn
I am currently using a Nordost Red Dawn Rev II RCA for my DAC to CDP connection. I like my current setup and I am wondering if a Kimber Select 1021 interconnect would smoothen every thing and enhances the musicality. Need advice and other comments.... Thanks!
FYI, I'm using a Kimber Select KS2020 digital cable and the result is exactly like vanilla cream being added to the music.... so so smooth and totally no ear fatique syndrome....just fearful that an additional Kimber will "mute" the music. Thnaks!
