Hero-HB interconnect with UltraPlate phonos
5 out of 5
'HB' = Hybrid... the best of both'
Features include our unique GyroQuadratic™ field geometry, VariStrand™, Hyper-pure TCSS copper and AGSS silver conductors and Dual fluorocarbon insulating technology. The four-wire braid results in an improved design which allows you to achieve greater bandwidth – meaning that the soundstage is more open, the midrange more natural , bass is deeper and cleaner, and the treble sweeter.
Hero-HB is a natural step up in performance from the copper Hero and Silver Streak. Used between your CD player and amplifier, or between a preamp and power amp, Hero-HB is available with custom UltraPlate™ RCA type connectors or for an improved connection you can opt for the superb WBT-0102 copper locking RCA plugs. The balanced version of Hero-HB features "studio grade" XLR connectors with silver plated contacts.

"Hero HB brought remarkable depth of image to everything I played, whether it was solo acoustic guitar or synthesisers and drum machines. It also delivers power in a very calm, effortless way."

Is CD overload restricting the sound of your system?
Today, it is all too common for an amplifier's performance to be restricted because the output voltage of the CD player is too high. This can introduce distortion to the sound and restricts the amount of volume control you have. The problem can also occur with other components too, such as DVD/Blu-ray players, tuners, SACD players, MiniDisc players and even, on occasion, turntables!
The solution is to use an interconnect which 'attenuates' the signal from the CD player allowing a much more controlled and better sound from your system. Find out more about attenuation here

"Blown Away Hero Hb"
I have been a customer of Russ Andrews for 20 years and still get blown away by how much sound is still hidden in my home cinema and Hifi . I got home from work and there was the box :-) got a blu ray in the player to give me a reference and then change the centre channel cable and the wife could hear the difference . If you love your system it deserves Kimber Kables . Already thinking that next year going to the next level .

"More Defined Bass And Detail"
I purchased these interconnects, Hero HB, to complement the ones I had between my CD player and pre-amp. I already had a decent interconnect which I brought with my amplifiers about ten years ago, they are good but I don't know who makes them as the dealer was under oath not to reveal the maker! The Hero's are a better cable, but that could be down to them having had super burn in and zapperator's fitted. The bass has better definitions and more control than before and there are details I didn't hear before. These Hero's HB are a very good innterconnect and I would recommend them to anybody looking to spend less than £1000 on interconnects.
