Kimber 8tc w/ Mark Levinson 23.5 and Revel F52

I have not heard the combination but it seems the 8TC would be the weak link

Since you are using Transparent interconnects, I recommend that you use Transparent speaker cables to take advantage of the synergy when using the same cables throughout the system. Just my 2 centavos.

The 8TC's will get the job done nicely. They don't put a hole in your wallet and allow you to enjoy the music. I understand they require 200 - 500 hours of burn in. Or so I've read. Mine are near the 80 hour mark and they sound good. I'll wait till I get 300 hours on them before I "really" judge them. Until that time, I'm okay (i.e. satisfied) with the job they're doing.

A great tweek for 8tc, get some clear tubing from home depot , or some round poly foam insulation and put in the middle of the braid, the 8tc will open up quite a bit and you can snake the tubing right down the middle of the cable, this is what kimber does in the more expensive cables in their line, it makes the braid angle more of a 90 angle, which lowers inductance, and it is an audble inprovment, good luck.

Chrissain (all),

Thanks for the info. What diameter tube is good ? 3/4" ?, 1" etc.

(I already own the 8tc so I'd like to use it for now.
Transparent Ultra or reference maybe in the future.)

Thanks
