Will a good power cable replace the need for a PC?
Interesting discussion. I have ended up using a "hybrid" approach plugging my preamp (which has a built-in DAC and phono stage) and amp directly into a dedicated 20 amp line with Oyaide outlets while plugging the front end equipment and the class ... 
Synergistic Designers Reference
Ironically, I have heard all of these cables in my system except your current ones. The SR Teslas have an amazing soundstage and dynamics that became overbearing after the "wow" factor wore off.The KS Emotion was delightfully warm but somewhat und... 
Transparent to Kimber?
That's what I did.But now I'm changing the Kimber to Kubala Sosna.So it's a moving target. 
Kimber's new KS 6000 SC
Smp, I look forward to your impressions after the KS 6068 has settled in and you've had a chance to listen critically. I'm very interested in these cables but just completed an extended audition of the Kubala Sosna Elation SC and IC that completel... 
Most attractive power cables?
Audience Au24 powerChords are elegant. 
Audio valve challenger thoughts
I ran AudioValve Challengers with W/P6s for a time and really enjoyed the combination. Plenty of power, nice soundstage and a rich, robust tonality. It's really easy to roll the output tubes so you can have a lot of fun obsessing over which type o... 
Kimber's new KS 6000 SC
I understand the KS 6033, 6035, and 6068 are available and being shipped. Anyone had a chance to hear them? 
How does Boulder equipment avoid obsolescence?
I completely understand your concerns. I shared similar worries before I bought my 1012. I totally agree with the posts above and have only a little more to add.When auditioning the 1012 against "newer" competitors, I realized I tended to automati... 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
I believe there's a Pharaoh Audio Giza II with a Stygian mod that will transcend those parameters. 
Shunyatas New CX series
As a scientist, I clearly appreciate Shunyata's technology. Quite frankly, they appear to have advanced Kimber's concepts beyond the $5.00 napkin stage.I think I might want to audition them as well as Kimber's new 6000 series SC.Truthfully, Shunya... 
Shunyatas New CX series
How is Shunyata's technology really different from Kimber's? Five bucks and an ink-stained napkin will get you a U.S. Patent so don't hand me that one.Shunyata's technology looks awesome but it seems awfully similar to Kimber's. Anyone compare the... 
Audioquest Sky XLR vs Kimber Select 1130
Regarding the topic of the thread, I have heard Sky, 1130 and 1136 in my system. Sky had a slightly forward soundstage and overall somewhat more detailed treble energy. The Kimbers' soundstage was a little deeper and were a bit better with low lev... 
Atma Sphere deserves praise
Atma Sphere deserves praise indeed. Making affordable upgrades to existing products available to owners says volumes about how a company views its customers.Contrast Transparent Audio's brilliant marketing plan. They introduce a new cable upgrade,... 
kimbre kable vs jps audio
JPS cables are meticulously crafted and were very solid performers in my system, the Aluminatas especially. Kimber Silver or Copper/Silver hybrids sounded better to my ears possibly because my speakers are internally with Kimber and I am not above...
