Kimber Cable Select


Would Kimber Cable Select be a good match with McIntosh Equipment (i.e. MC611, C2700 tube preamp,  MCD 12000 or MCD 600 SACD/CD  player?

The cables system synergy quest also extends to your speakers and not limited to just your upstream components.

     Everything depends on whether you want your cables to transfer signals with no editorializing, or: to act as a tone control.

     I’ve been using both their KS-1130 and KS-1030s, in my system (on sources), over the past couple decades.

     Having listened through them with my own recordings/tracks: I’m confident that they allow what’s in my music/signals to flow without compromise*

                                          *iow: transparent

     Keep in mind: cables cannot add anything to a signal.   They can only block or hinder some things within a signal, which makes other aspects seem more pronounced.

 

Each Kimber Select cables has three choices:

1) All copper (lowest price)

2) Mix copper and silver (mid price)

3) All silver (highest price)

Select series of KK is really good. I am sure among the three options above, one would do the trick for you

     Something I noticed about Kimber, as I worked my way through their offerings: all had faithfulness/transparency to the music (ie: none warmer, cooler, more colored than another), but: the progression always yielded more in the way of ambience retrieval (sound space size/shape), organics, image specificity...well, you know- all that stuff that makes it more real and some don't believe exist.

Kimber makes very solid cables no reason at all they wouldn't pair well with Mac gear. More importantly will they pair well with your ears? Only one way to find out and it seems like a pretty safe choice.
