Kimber Select

I have owned both and would have to agree with you.
Neither of them are as good as the Nordost Quattro-Fil though

I don't have the experience Acuujim has with the Select series, but I will note that in my system the Kimber Silver Streak (copper/silver) clearly was not as good as their similar but all-silver KCAG. While the bass was virtually the same, the KCAG had a far better upper midrange and treble, with more delicacy and air than the Streak, which sounded brighter and more course, for lack of a better word. Not earth-shaking differences, to be sure, but I preferred the KCAG in a full-range application.

That's "coarse" (of course)! Shows what I wish I was out doing today, huh?

Hi Adia, in my system the 1030 IC was much better than the Quattro fil. It had a wider, deeper soundstage with a treble that was the finest I have heard. Have not heard the copper/silver but the 1030 was clearly better than the KCAG. I believe what Acuujim says is true in his system. Ya gotta try before ya buy. Good luck
