Kimber Kable PBJ Interconnect Cable - 0.5 Meter - XLR to XLR - Single

Recommended Component 2024 – Stereophile

Highly Affordable Cable with "Clarity, Detail, Depth, and Presence"

The highly acclaimed PBJ interconnect exhibits simple, elegant construction incorporating proven tri-braid field geometry, VariStrand™, Hyper-pure copper conductors and extruded fluorocarbon dielectric.

PBJ has become a classic with performance that continues to be unmatched by competing cables. Tonally balanced with clear, articulate highs, accurate midrange, tight extended bass, and three dimensional soundstaging are common descriptions echoed by surprised reviewers and satisfied customers.

"Recommended Component" Honors

Stereophile honored PBJ by awarding it the magazine's coveted Recommend Component status for 2024.

According to Stereophile, "Originally released in the late 1980s, PBJ is a minimalist design comprising three high-quality, multistrand wires in individual Teflon jackets, braided together and terminated with Kimber's Ultraplate connectors. With the PBJs in his system, SM heard greater clarity, detail, depth, and presence."

In his Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity review, John E. Johnson, Jr. writes, "Kimber PBJ… has been one of my favorites for many years. It is beautifully made… is relatively inexpensive, and sounds great."

"Great Bass Accuracy and Midrange Qualities"

"The PBJ has the same great bass accuracy and midrange qualities of the [AudioQuest] Diamondback, but gives soundstaging depth and incredible air in the treble area that the DB is missing," notes reviewer steveninaz, forum.polkaudio.com.

"The Kimber PBJ, at its price is a no-brainer… It's my new reference cable. It gives me everything I've been looking for, great neutral sound, fair price, and durability. I can't think of any cable near its price that can convey its neutrality and tonal accuracy."

Choose RCA or XLR Termination

PBJ is available with either unbalanced single-ended RCA termination or balanced XLR termination.

PBJ single-ended features Kimber Kable's Ultraplate™ RCA type connectors.

PBJ Balanced features "studio grade" XLR type connectors with silver plated contacts.

"A Near Legendary Interconnect"

"This is a near legendary interconnect. It's price to performance ratio is very high, and the parts quality is excellent," observes PBJ owner badman, forum.audiogon.com.

"Reference wire you can afford. They are great, and the wire is of such high quality that you don't even think of upgrading just to get better materials, unless you're going to silver. Very good cable indeed."
