Kimber D60 Digital Cable?

search is your friend, my friend

Got a 0.5m one, with BNCs, in a couple of days ago. It replaced a generic copper BNC cable between my CD transport and DAC. This is actually my first experience with any kind of silver cable. Still breaking in, but it shows great promise, so far.

Purchased mine in 1999 back then it was known as Illuminati D60
digital cable and I’m still using it today with my Sony 707 ESD.

One thing I notice is that in the latest version from Kimber, the dual layer shield is pure silver. The older version used silver plated copper for the shield(s). I wonder what, if any, difference this makes in the sound? One assumes they changed it for a reason?

Hi, I owned the Kimber and found it to be one of the best digital cables in terms of performance and SQ in my system. However, in a shootout I performed with some friends of mine, comparing the Kimber to the Have/Canare offering, the Have/Canare managed to squeeze out just a bit more in SQ especially in the bass region, where the Have/Canare seemed to go a deeper and seemed a bit more articulate.

My two cents, Kimber has a good product and I think in my system the Have/Canare seemed to best it and for less cash as well.
