Ray Kimber and the Kimber Cable company are two of the most respected names in cable.While I do believe that cables make a difference, if you would have said "Hi-End cables" or "audiophile/videophile cables" I would not have responded. However, to slur someone who not only contributes to the audio community (AA, for one), but actually sponsors the musical arts is asinine and counter-productive to the hobby and, in some cases, audio/music profession that we all enjoy.

I meant no disrespect to Mr. Kimber. I'm sure his cables are very nice (I build my own cables.)Kimber, along with Mark Levinson and Krell, are very visible audiophile-wise, in that audiophiles that don't know much about gear assume, by name alone, it's fantastic stuff. "Oooh, you have Kimber cables! Those are awesome!" type reactions. I was just using Kimber as an example of one of the "Cool" audio gear companies.
Your arrogance should've preceeded you: then I'd have known to ignore your crap.With nose raised in the direction of the fifth star to the left:
I make my own cables, therefore I am a god. Krell and Levinson are just names. I am Stupido, Master of the Uni-cycle.

you are a low end fool. you think measurements mean something. you can't hear anything thru those no dynamic maggies. Kimber cables are great. if you had some, i might have some respect for you. they are undoubtedly much better than any crap you could make, but you probably would not hear it through your crappy system.you're smart, you're a scientist, you understand sound. let me fill you in on 1 thing: you don't have a clue. study some more.
you're tag line is still stupid and inappropriate. it does you disservice.
