Kimber Kable

Hello all, I recently purchased a set of Kimber Kable 4VS speaker cables from an audigon member and must say that I am extremely impressed. Only problem is though that I miscalculated the length that I needed and came up 4 feet short for my right channel. Does anyone know where I can get 12 foot length of this cable? I can't find anyone that sells single runs. Wouldn't mind of anyone knew of somebody has some extra lying around either....

It should be pretty easy to find someone that sells lengths right off the roll. Call or email Kimber and they will point you to a dealer pretty quickly.
I have had 8PR as my cable for more that a dozen years. It sounds much better than what I had before and doesn't sound much different than some higher-priced Canare cable I tried. The inductance is pretty low (minimal messing with the signal), so I'm going to keep it in my system.

Hi there,
You're looking to buy new as well? Needledoctor is a Kimber dealer and I believe you could special order a single cable. If it's not an option on the site just call them, they're very nice to deal with.

Care to share some specifics about the improvements these yielded in your system?

Yes, indeed. Curious minds want to know.

Michael Percy sells 4VS by the foot very reasonably, if you're willing/able to terminate.

Aloha,

You could also just use bare ends, that's what I did when I used Kimber 4TC speaker wire, although I'll admit that connectors - especially bananas - have their benefits.
