    Detailed And Dynamic

    Kimber's Hero interconnect offers more detailed and dynamic sound than Kimber's famous PBJ cables. Utilizing Kimber's patented VariStrand conductor geometry, new metallurgy, new GyroQuadratic field geometry and Teflon dielectrics, Hero offers imaging and transparency close to Kimber's more expensive Silver Streak cables, but at a fraction of the cost.

    Hero has received numerous accolades in pages of the audiophile press and has been listed in The Absolute Sound High-End Buyer's Guide and/or praised as a "Best Interconnect" by the magazine since at least 2003!

    That kind of longevity gives Hero 'legendary cable' status. Superb performance never goes out of date, and the November 2018 issue of The Absolute Sound brings the latest raves for Hero. "Yielding only a tiny bit in control, top-end transparency, and detailing to PS’s reference, Hero’s bass lives up to its name, prodigious in amplitude and definition," says the magazine, which terms Hero as "dead neutral, with dynamics at once powerful yet finely resolved in an essentially grain-free presentation."

    "Bass Is Prodigious"

    The Absolute Sound magazine rated the Kimber Kable Hero interconnect and Kimber Kable 8TC speaker cable as the "Best Interconnect and Speaker Cable" in the Winter 08 / Spring 09 issue. "The Hero's bass is prodigious; the mids are either dead neutral or a notch light, with dynamics at once powerful yet finely shaded. The 8TC is always musical, balancing detail, liveliness, tonal neutrality, and dynamic contrasts with a very realistic, holographic soundstage."

    "A Sonic Near-Twin"

    Kimber Kable Hero Interconnect won an "Editors' Choice" award in the Winter 2007 Home Theater Buyer's Guide from The Perfect Vision magazine.

    "A sonic near-twin to the more costly Kimber Select KS-1021, Hero yields by direct comparison only a tiny bit in sheer control, ultimate transparency, and inner detail to its pricier brother," reports The Perfect Vision.

    The Ultraplate connector is precision machined out of solid metal stock. It features a solid Teflon dielectric and split center pin for enhanced performance. The Ultraplate surface provides high conductivity, great durability, and is compatible with all other plating surfaces.

    2019 Editors' Choice Award – The Absolute Sound
