It's the affordable cable that delivers superb sound way, way past its price point.

Award-Winning Performance
Stand back as the trophies come flying at Kimber Kable's Timbre interconnect! England's audiophile journal Hi-Fi Choice bestowed its "Product of the Year" award on Timbre. But that's not all. The same issue gave the Kimber its "Editor's Choice" award, complimenting the Timbre interconnect on its "lean, extended, and detailed" performance.
According to Hi-Fi Choice, Timbre's "pleasing, relaxed character complements many musical styles," while the excellently neutral balance and stereo imaging [are] equally good."
"One of the Best Interconnects We Know of."
Tech Radar honored Timbre with a top rating of Five Stars. "The Timbre is only halfway up Kimber's range, but its performance frankly belies that: excellent in every way… This is one of the best interconnects we know of."
"The Timbre sets a wonderful stage which is at once wide and deep. There is ample space between the instruments and individual notes are often flung deeply into the room or beyond the left or right of the speaker position," reports Karsten Hein for Germany's eiaudio.de, September 1, 2021. Musical instruments are clearly discernible in their individual character - or timbre - and given their own space to perform."
"Dynamic, tonally balanced, slightly laid back with good clarity, definition and a well-controlled bass, the Timbre's very 'relaxing' sound made me sit back and listen for hours," notes mozart23, audioreview.com, May 5, 2011.
The Cable that Gets the Timbre Right
Its name comes from the complex sound characteristics that differentiate one musical instrument from another. Timbre interconnect from Kimber Kable is distinctly transparent, full-bodied, and harmonically complete. It gets the timbre right. Timbre reveals the natural sound of instruments with three-dimensionality and precise image focus.
Timbre uses proven tri-braid conductor geometry and VariStrand, hyper-pure copper conductors with a clear Teflon dielectric. Single-ended termination features the latest version of Kimber Kable's high-performance Ultraplate RCA-type connectors that are machined with precision out of solid metal stock. The split center pin and ground sleeve ensure solid signal connections.
Extensive Research and Testing
"Kimber enjoys the reputation of having the most extensive research section of any company in the cable field," reports Karl Lozier at enjoythemusic.com. Timbre takes full advantage of these research capabilities. It was created using the company's exclusive OSCaR (Objective Subjective Correlation and Results) engineering process, which makes the link between scientific measurements and listening impressions.
