"Everybody loves PBJ!" This cable has endured for decades because there's simply no reason to change it. Three high-quality multi-strand wires in individual Teflon jackets that are then braided together keeps the price down and the quality high. The smooth, rich tonal balance and solid imaging are astonishing at this price.

Back in the early 1970s, Ray Kimber discovered that winding his own cable using a specific geometry eliminated much of the noise and interference plaguing audio systems. He created lightweight, flexible designs with an open airy sound, tremendous resolution, and outstanding power that conventional cables lack. While the 40-year-old company's range of offerings has exponentially grown, Kimber stays true to its original principles. Complex cable geometries are still made in-house in Ogden, Utah, where the cables are hand-terminated by dedicated professionals. Every Kimber Kable deserves to be on your short list.
