Do Kimber KCAG's sound bright????

Sean:

I don't disagree with anything you wrote.

And you'll note that my remarks referred to "good silver" (whatever that is).

I think there are some myths out there about silver. Six-nines copper is actually more expensive. A lot of silver does sound awful. One prominent high-end designer, who does not care for silver, claims that it "rings".

I know that I love my Kimber Select silver. It sounds natural, open, and anything but bright.

If you would be so kind as to e-mail me to identify the silver cable with the "rave reviews" that no amount of cooking could fix, I'd be much obliged!

Raquel's Kimber Select uses a different silver (Black Pearl) than the KCAG, and is a totally different geometry and design.

The KCAG has been called bright for all the years it is has been in production. It probably works in systems where the speakers and/or the tube electronics have a rolled off and soft treble.

Mine sounds bright. Sony tae9000 es preamp & bryston Amps. I'm changing to optical.

Well I reburned the KCAGs with a cable cooker for one week. Sound is much better. Smoother and detailed but not near so bright. I am keeping them!! Mike

Blueranger: Glad that "burning in" the cabling worked for you and we've got another "convert" to the group of believers. Out of curiosity, how much actual playing time ( time in your system ) did you have on these cables prior to burning? Sean
