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?

     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.

Having used in the past ks1016, ks1026 and ks1126, i agree with @rodman99999.

You can start with the all copper version and see how it goes.

      Here's a way to select from a variety of Kimber's Kables, without having to purchase before auditioning:

       Use their Lending Library (providing you find something of interest) and any rental fee will be deducted, whether you buy new or used (hard to lose).

My speakers are W&B 800D3 pair. Your responses have been very helpful and confirmed what I believed. I can not audition yet, since I am starting from scratch. I understand transparency and hearing those sublime notes which I enjoy having once owned Martin Logan Prodigy speakers two decades ago. My dealer unfortunately does not represent these cables so I will either purchase new once I have accumulated my equipment, which I am preparing to order the MC611 pair and C2700 preamp. 

Will the C2700 preamp translate warmth into the system using these cables, or it will it be negligible? I am considering the MAC Mcd SACD/CD player (tube) player also.
