"The 8TC speaker cable has the elusive ability to remain musical no matter what is happening fore or aft, ideally mediating detail, liveliness, tonal neutrality, and dynamic contrasts within a very realistic, holographic soundstage."

- The Absolute Sound magazine, November 2018

"Superbly neutral, transparent, and never, ever guilty of wrongdoing, 8TC has been the one constant in my system these last twenty years. Though I've enjoyed other cables, I always wind up returning to these stalwarts, which, despite their relatively modest cost, manages to go the distance against anything else that come by way."

- Paul Seydor, The Absolute Sound magazine, October 2010

"Paul Hillier’s baritone and Andrew Lawrence-King’s harps and psaltery in their beautiful Harmonia Mundi Bitter Ballads recital are captured in a rich ambience, which Kimber’s 8TC renders with rare coherence and extension."

"With orchestral music such as Christopher Seaman and the Rochester Philharmonic’s excellent new recording of Francesca da Rimini [Harmonia Mundi, PCM to SACD], the 8TC suggested an even superior tonal balance to the reference, offering a wide soundstage and again superb detail, tympani clearly audible through densely scored passages."

"This cable has been around for a commendably long time. Having used it for many years through countless changes in equipment and rooms, I can personally vouch for its versatility and benefits: great neutrality, transparency, and musicality, and a comfortable fit with amplifiers that never causes them distress. Tilting a tad toward the Yin on the Yin/Yang spectrum, the 8TC has that elusive ability to remain musical no matter what’s happening fore or aft: an outstanding performer by any measure."

Paul Seydor, The Absolute Sound, February/March 2004

"In terms of sheer value the Kimber Kable 8tc remains an excellent choice."
