Kimber 8TC beater?


Hi Guys,

Need your help in recommending speaker cables that will beat the 8TCs in terms of a fuller and bigger (image size and soundstage). Preferably in the same price rage or maybe slightly higher.

Thanks!

@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.

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.

Why not join me in my holy quest for better sound -- see DEQX. Check discussion in the "Sloped Baffle" thread.
Audioquest Type 4 is very good

also (based on my Mogami ICs)

I bet the 3104 recommended above is a good bet

I have owned 8TC and do not think it is that hard to beat for the price
