Introduction

I am a big fan of the Kimber 8PR speaker cables. I fell in love with their banana terminations and the quality of materials used in this product. If you are on the market for high end exotic cables and your goal is transparency over glorified tone controls, then I highly recommend the Kimber 8PR speaker cables. It’s refreshing to find an exotic cable vendor that discloses all performance metrics of their products, doesn’t wrap them in snake oil and delivers a reference level performing product that scores high in pride of ownership.

I see. You meant ritual, not process.


I don't know what I meant, I just like Hebrew National hot hogs

The meat is prepared is a special way (I mean.. on the factory), not just not mixing milk & meat.. bla bla.. Also, there are different levels...

think like HDMI Category 1 and HDMI Category 2 :-))

It is not "blessing", if certain conditions are hold, a certificate is issued.. which is also time-limited

anyway, comparing to snake oil products to me, being very, very secular, I think is irrelevant
