KIMBER KABLE is one of the world's most respected cable manufacturers. Since Kimber's start in 1979, all of its products are U.S. made. The money you pay for Kimber-Kable is for superior design, engineering, construction & materials. Some of Kimber's competitors' spend far more for packagingf & advertising than for the actual product.

But Kimber has come up with a suitable encore in the 12TC. Not only does it retain the 8TC's characteristic balance of detail, liveliness, tonal neutrality & dynamic contrasts, but the 12TC also expands dynamics & breathes a bit more in all dimensions, auguring well for this legend-in-the-making."

antidote." Compared to Musical Fidelity, PS is 9db quieter, 50% less jitter, 3db more separation & over twice the output voltage. HI-FI NEWS 8/08

"Fantastic buy; well-built, elegant design & super simple to use. Without a doubt, improves the sound of most digital sources, adding life & excitement. Compared to $2000 CD players, it definitely held its own. With older CD player, you get a big improvement. Even if you're a vinyl lover, using this as a digital hub is great because you can now switch between digital sources, giving your preamp a few extra inputs. A winner. TONE #19, 2008
THE LEAST EXPENSIVE RECOMMENDED DAC. "Its upsampling feature takes standard CD playback into the high-resolution realm: it made standard-issue CDs sound similar to SACDs." ABSOLUTE SOUND 10/08

"PIaced under CD players, DACs & preamps, 1x3" dia. Vibrapods isolate & enhance performance. Five different models, rated for 2 - 28 lbs. loads
each; match the quantity to the component. I keep a box of them so no component goes without. A favorite." STEREOPHILE RECOMMENDED 4/11
