Overview
Kimber’s Select KS-1116 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-1116 analogue interconnects are supplied as a pair and fitted with studio-grade Switchcraft® XLR connectors as standard. Your cables will come in a strong, protective Peli™ case to ensure your receive them is pristine condition.

"Easy Winner"
I have always been on the opinion of nothing really blows anything out of the water, within reasonable price brackets. Several months after an amp upgrade I decided to change my silver streak rca with attenuation to some balanced xlrs.
I tested cables from chord, synergistic research, inusket. 1st test showed the xlrs were better enough for me to pursue the change. It was tough to pick between the 3, then realised I could use the upgrade from RA. These were between £250-£350 more.
The choice was ready easy, I mean really easy. They did everything better and felt like I had a new product in the mix. They have been in for a month now and looking back I would still have brought these even without the upgrade option.
Well done RA!

"1116 Probably The Best Copper Cable Yet"
I upgraded from Hero CU to KS1116, probably the best all copper signal cable available on the market for my system, I’ve tried many! Weight and scale with my ATC equipment took on a whole new level. U2 makes the hairs stand up on the back of neck, rock music of all types, female vocalists, electronic pop every part of my music collection has become real, the room fills with sound and the speakers just seem to disappear. As a pre owned cable it was an absolute bargain, I think full price is still a bargain. A very special cable indeed
