Both are well-made, and how they will perform will depend upon which amplifier and which speakers they are used with (i.e., sometimes the Kimber will sound better and sometimes the Nordost will sound better). Unfortunately, the only way to determine which will work best for you is to try both in your system.
The silver conductor in the Kimber takes a very long time to break in and does not sound right until full break-in is completed (1,000 hours - I used 3038 and 1030 interconnects for four years), so you need to make sure that the cable is fully broken in before you use it.
