Power cords: Kimber Kable Palladium


Anyone have experience with the Kimber power cords.

I read an Audio Bacon review suggesting they have great timbre and tonal qualities.

Looking for a PC for my DAC

I have put Kimber Palladium power cords throughout my system.  Each time I upgraded it seemed as is a vail  was lifted and I was hearing the sound as it was meant to be.  I’ve not compared it with much more expensive cables, but very happy with my decision.  I use a D’Agostino Amp, CH Precision Pre-Amp, and a Lumin X1 Dac/Streamer.  I started using it with my Taurus Power unit.  I’m very happy with my decision.

I have never had Kimber PCs in my system, but one of the best system I have ever heard had Kimber cables throughout on $90K Khama speakers and about $50k of Conrad Johnson electronics. That room sounded better than the $1M + rooms at the same show, take that for what it’s worth

I just installed a Kimber Kable Palladian PK-10 in my reference system. I was able to find a used one. It’s connected to my tube power amp… I’ve been using a cardas clear beyond cable. I’ve always been happy with cardas clear power cables.  

I honestly didn’t expect to hear much difference. 

Instead, I’m rather blown away. In my system, to my ears, the sound has improved. I’ll need to do some critical listening for a few days… and AB test it against the cardas cable. I’ll report back on my findings after a few weeks. 

I can, however, say that this cable will not be leaving its new spot connected to my amp! 
 

One additional comment before I provide everyone more detailed comments after more prolonged listening: I installed the Kimber Kable Palladian PK-10 in my second system (Luxman 590axii, Buchardt s400 MK2 speakers, Gold Note DAC/Streamer, Lessloss speaker cables, Revalation Labs Interconnects, Puritan 136 with classic cable) and, again, this cable made a remarkable improvement in the quality of the music.

It replaced a NRG  "The Five" cable which is a solid performer in it's own right, but at a much lower price point. 

You'd think I'm a representative of Kimber Kable, but this is a great power cable.
