from Kennedy HIFI Summary:
The guys at Kennedy HIFI let me take the Kimber Hero and Kimber Timbre home so that I could audition them and make an educated decision.
I compared them both to my IXOS 103 interconnect which I have had for a few years now and is well burned in which I cannot say for the two kimbers.
The Timbre was not better in my opinion but different. The Ixos was a bit brighter, more aggressive and more detailed than the Timbre. The Timbre on the other hand was less aggressive, less detailed and more laid back sounding. The Timbre was a little boring to listen to compared to the Ixos but was neutral.
In this case I would stick with my Ixos as the timbre is not an upgrade to my ears. (They are priced similarly.).
The Hero is another matter entirely. This cable is amazing I was drawn into the music and heard detail that I had never heard before on my system. My recomendation is that you spend a little extra and get the Hero. Trust me you will not regret it. It's that much better. Strengths:
Neutral sounding, warm, does not add anything, nice build, good price, good step up from Radio shack wires. Weaknesses:
Sounds dull and lifeless to me. Detail is not that great. Similar Products Used:
Ixos 103 and now : Kimber Hero.
