Kimber 8TC beater?

Without knowing the rest of your system, it is impossible to offer any more than heavily biased personal value judgements. Because system synergy matters big time, just because Brand X sounds good in another guy's system, there is no assurance that it will excel in yours.

For the same reasons, there are a myriad of competing offerings in a very crowded $$ market strata capable of meeting and exceeding the performance of the 8TCs ..... Depending on the system they are married up to.

@Akg_ca. and everyone. Thanks for your response. My system is as follows...

cd player....resolution audio opus 21
amps monos...hyperion ht-88
speakers.....hyperion 938
ICs..........grover huffman (new and broken in...latest version)
SCs..........supra ply 3.4 shielded

It's an old system that was in hibernation for years til a few months ago. Presently, system sounds quite constricted...quite thin and "smallish" sounding. Amps retubed recently.

From my memory, I am thinking thats it's the sonic signature of the hyperion 938s. I am hoping the improve the overall sound to something which I can live with. If it doesn't work...I will probably get a new pair of speakers.

Thanks.

PS Unable to get home audition for cables in my area.

Mogami 3104 will do it as Loftarasa pointed out above. If you don't require biwire capability, Mogami 3103 (which is the same wire as 3104 but single wire only) will also do it at about 1/5 of the price of 8TC, which I used for many years.

"It's an old system that was in hibernation for years til a few months ago. Presently, system sounds quite constricted...quite thin and "smallish" sounding. Amps retubed recently."

If the equipment has been siting for years, it will probably need to be broken in again. Make sure it has been playing for at least 100 hours.

Given your description above, I'm not sure a new pair of cables will be able to take care of all that. Best Buy sell AQ. Maybe buy a pair from them and if they don't fix the problem, you can always bring them back.

Pc ... I use 8TCs. Thinking about going back to lamp wire. LOL :)

Cabling is one of the most contentious and potentially expensive subject A'gon topic.

It's really hard to frac the voodoo and hype from the truth.
