It sits in Kimber's Summit Series. The center conductor is silver, the dielectric is air-articulated fluorocarbon, and two helically wound shields surround it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eA Pure Silver Conductor in Air-Articulated Fluorocarbon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eKimber lists the conductor type as silver and the dielectric as a low-loss, air-articulated fluorocarbon. Air stores less of the signal's energy than a solid plastic, and the fluorocarbon tape holds the conductor centered. Kimber's slogan for its digital line is \"Push Every Bit.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eKimber publishes the electrical figures. The D-60 measures 55.2 picofarads of parallel capacitance, 0.502 microhenries of series inductance and 0.115 ohms of DC resistance per meter. Few cable makers print those numbers for a digital cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eTwo Helical Shields and a Nitrogen-Assisted Solder Joint\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eTwo helically wound shields wrap the conductor, one over the other. Each end is hand soldered with nitrogen assistance, a termination method Kimber lists as a feature. Audio Advisor's listings carry the cable's older \"Data Flex Studio\" name, while Kimber now calls it simply D60.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eThe BNC Plugs, Explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThis D-60 ends in a BNC plug at each end. BNC is the bayonet plug that twists a quarter turn and locks, found on some DACs, transports and studio gear. Kimber lists BNC as a connector option for the D-60 alongside its Ultraplate RCA, and BNC was designed for 75-ohm lines like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWhat Reviewers Are Saying\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eDoug Schneider reviewed the D-60 for \u003cem\u003eSoundStage!\u003c\/em\u003e in November 1996. \"This is the best digital interconnect I have ever used in my system,\" he wrote, hearing \"an amazing increase in low-level detail, air, and sense of space.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003e\"The soundstage seemed much larger, the highs cleaner, and the imaging more focused,\" he added, calling it \"a true reference-quality product with performance that makes it worth the asking price to those who can afford it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWho Is This Digital Cable Best For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;padding-left:1.4em;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour transport and DAC both have BNC sockets\u003c\/strong\u003e — the locking bayonet plugs fit them directly, so no adapter sits in the digital path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want a silver conductor in a 75-ohm line\u003c\/strong\u003e — Kimber builds the D-60 as a precision 75-ohm pure silver cable, so the signal path is silver from plug to plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou are feeding a reference DAC\u003c\/strong\u003e — \u003cem\u003eSoundStage!\u003c\/em\u003e called it a true reference-quality product, so it belongs at the top of a front end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want a plug that locks\u003c\/strong\u003e — the BNC collar twists a quarter turn and holds, so it will not work loose behind the rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour components have the common RCA coaxial socket\u003c\/strong\u003e — a BNC plug will not fit it.
