Long after its introduction it is still considered to be one of the best available at any price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe pure silver center core conductor is carefully wrapped in air articulated teflon insulation tape surrounded by a helically wound silver-plated copper shield conductor, which is further shielded by another silver-plated copper shield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eCustom-made 75 ohm RCA connectors are hand soldered in place using silver-bearing solder. As the name suggests, Data Flex Studio is highly flexible, yet maintains a remarkable +\/-1.0 ohm impedance from end to end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAward-Winning Performance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eD60 was honored as a \u003cem\u003eStereophile\u003c\/em\u003e Recommended Component. \"It's hard to get \u003cem\u003eStereophile\u003c\/em\u003e writers to agree on anything,\" observes Vol. 19, No. 10 of the magazine, \"but Robert Harley, Johnathan Scull, Kalman Rubinson, Lonnie Brownell, Robert Reina, and Wes Philips all use this as their reference. 'Sometime mercilessly revealing,' Kalman Rubinson maintains, 'but never harsh.' 'Fast, open, and detailed,' raved Johnathan Scull. 'Focused and nuanced,' concurs Wes Philips. 'Smooth yet highly detailed, spacious soundstage, and lack of hardness and edge,' says Robert Harley.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"Smooth, Transparent, with Plenty of Transient Detail\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"The D60 offered up great momentum, a seamless image across the frequency band, bulging bass lines, 3-D imaging, and an ability to dig out detail within detail,\" raves Cable Guru Robert Schryer, \u003cem\u003epmamagazine.org\u003c\/em\u003e, May 7, 2022. \"It was very good at portraying the balance that exists between a note’s main sound and the fine sonic gradations of that note’s structure. The overall sound was smooth, transparent, with plenty of transient detail.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"A very clean and dynamic sounding cable,\" reports \u003cem\u003estereonet.com\u003c\/em\u003e, February 11, 2024. \"I had to try it out to test the digital outputs of my new Auralic G2.2. This is still a current model. It's a very neutral cable which gives a good sense of \"air\" and atmospherics to music.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"Quite Simply, This Is the Best\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"Quite simply, this is the best digital interconnect I have ever used in my system. It is also one of the most expensive. But it so clearly outclassed almost all other digital cables I've tried, that its somewhat higher price can be easily justified, observes Doug Schneider, \u003cem\u003esoundstagenetwork.com\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"For bang for buck in my setup, the Kimber seems to be the solution or at least puts an end to searching,\" notes Theo, \u003cem\u003eforum.audiogon.com\u003c\/em\u003e, April 24, 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConstruction Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe D60's silver solid core center conductor for maximum conductivity. The dual layer pure silver shielding with 100% coverage is circumferentially bonded to the connector shell for absolute immunity to noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAn intermediate layer of un-sintered semi-conductive PTFE prevents triboelectric noise from reaching the signal path. This noise is the result of mechanical vibration which can contaminate the digital signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVelocity of Propagation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAn air-articulated PTFE core results in propagation velocity of 85% for vanishing low delay, essential for ultra-responsive digital signal transmission. The D60 is truly a design to 'push every bit' of musical information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eOther construction benefits include tightly controlled 75Ω impedance and nitrogen-assisted hand soldered termination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"The bass was robust and full with a very smooth, controlled sound. Deep bass was conveyed with authority and control. Midrange was natural and musical,\" notes reviewer DM at \u003cem\u003eaudioasylum.com\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kimber Kable","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45983211782317,"sku":"NEW-KKD60-3-RCRC","price":1290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/KKD60_RCRC_01_2023__50018.1692287288.1280.1280_1240af1c-362f-45ef-9533-30e4526b5872.jpg?v=1778138130","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/kimber-kable-d-60-data-flex-studio-coaxial-digital-cable-3-0-meter-rca-to-rca","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
