@denman - take a look at Audio Envy and Zavfino cables - they will provide much better performance and overall better bang for the buck.

You’ll prpobably never look at another cable after trying either of those brands.

Audio Envy is a little more affordable, but still uses great construction methods/materials, resulting is a very high performing cable

Both are better than the Kimber 8tc

If you want to know a little of the science behind a good cable take a look at this link...

RE:

Monster Cables are fine for box store components

Unfortunately, Monster cables lack the more current design approaches and are not capable of making any components sound significantly better

But well designed cables will provide a significant boost, even to those box store components, since today’s box store components actually perform much better than most people believe.

E.G. years ago I purchased a $300 mini system

  • the bass was blosted and not well defined
  • imaging was non existent
  • details were distorted
  • adding good a power cable and speaker cables fixed all of those issues and now it performs way above it’s modest price point

Even simply adding a very good power cable to my Bluesound Pulse Mini Speaker had the salesperson at the store wondering what I had done.

Bottom line: regardless of the component, box store or high end hifi, well designed cables can make a significant imrpovement

Personally, I build my own cales from sratch, but if DIY is NOT your thing, then try

  • Audio Envy
  • Zavfino
  • Hijiri - for those high end audiophile components
