"Recommended Component" – Stereophile
The Cable with "Remarkable Clarity"
Step up to superb sound with Silver Streak. Ideal for all "upscale" audio and video applications, fast, clean, and clear Silver Streak includes many advanced cable technologies found in Kimber's costliest models.
Silver Streak won a "Recommended Component" rating in Stereophile magazine, which reports, "This low-impedance, low-resistance cable 'represents a major performance breakthrough for the price,' said ST. Its secret? Only the signal-carrying portion of the braid is silver—the returns are copper. ST reported gains in clarity and quickness. 'The sound is cleaner, quicker, less confused...I suggest you run with the Streak.'"
"Complex and Organic"
"The presentation of the Silver Streak was not just about the good bass - the sound was complex and organic, with plenty of inner detail," observes the Czech Republic's audiodrom.net audiophile website.
"I liked that the Kimber could play both loud and soft…. This type of resolution was great for any acoustic music where the natural tonality and dynamics are needed if the listening experience should be realistic."
"Dynamic, Involving, Accurate"
"Each instrument had a golden glow of sound surrounding it, and yet each instrument was as precisely delineated as it had been before. This type of presentation seems to me far more like what I hear at a jazz club. Detail, with bloom, makes it easier to follow instrumental lines, and this was precisely what the Silver Streak delivered," notes Todd Warnke soundstagenetwork.com.
"It's dynamic, involving, accurate, detailed and harmonically pure… The Silver Streak sets a new standard for me [at its price]."
Andrew Marshall in Audio Ideas Guide praises "the remarkable clarity of Kimber silver cables, and the Silver Streak maintains all of that."
Hyper-Pure Silver Conductor
Kimber Kable Silver Streak interconnect incorporates separately insulated silver and copper conductors into the proven tri-braid geometry.
The signal is carried via the same Hyper-pure, VariStrand™ silver found in the world renowned KCAG. The ground plane is comprised of Hyper-pure, VariStrand™ copper.
Proprietary Black Ultraplate RCA
Silver Streak offers exceptional speed, clarity, and spaciousness at a very reasonable cost. A great cable deserves a great connector, so it uses proprietary Kimber Kable Ultraplate™ Black RCA connectors. At the heart of these connectors is the Ultraplate contact surface. The Ultraplate surface provides high conductivity, great durability, and compatibility with all other plating surfaces. The Ultraplate connector, which is precision machined out of solid metal stock, also features a solid fluorocarbon dielectric and split center pin for enhanced performance.
