Overview
Kimber’s Select KS-1016 is their very best all-copper analogue interconnect and the introduction to the super Select range of cables. Using a specially-enhanced pure copper to ensure optimal signal transfer and V-fluorocarbon insulation to maintain the conductor purity, the conductors are arranged around Kimber’s core compound to enhance the interference-rejecting weave and isolate the cable from micro-vibration. The effect is to create a sound that is wonderfully detailed and natural, with a vast soundstage and realistic dynamics.
What's included
Kimber Select KS-1016 analogue interconnects are supplied as a pair and fitted with WBT Nextgen 0102Cu locking RCA Phono connectors as standard. Your cables will come in a strong, protective Peli™ case to ensure your receive them is pristine condition.

"Gave The Whole System An Enormous Lift"
The Kimber Select KS 1016 is a great product : I got my used one with minizaps and super burn in and used it between pre and power. The effect was instantly obvious. Everything seemed to sound clearer - and any harshness was replaced by a sort of ‘creamy’ sound.. I had a jazz loving mate over and we listened to Art Pepper into the night, for hour after hour - using only vinyl playback - which still beats my CD player.

"Ks1016 Interconnects"
After reading an interesting customer system in the last issue of 'Connected' I decided to replace my Hero AG interconnects with KS-1016. I have to say that they are proving their worth now that they are 'run in'. After taking some time to get going the improvement is obvious using the Naim CD5si as source.Electronic music simply sparkles and audibly shows more verve, with bass clearly pumping iron with no wobble or distortion. The Tangerine Dream album 'Quantum Gate' has more edge and drama - there is a lot going on in this album and the detail is more coherent, and spatial than before.
Switch across to smooth jazz and 'Masterpiece' by Special EFX is handled with the minimum of fuss the clarity of sax and trumpet is an audible delight.
Hero interconnects were good, but these are in another parish.
Another 5 stars.......
