Know before you buy
The Silver Streak uses hyper-pure silver for the signal path to maximize detail and clarity, while utilizing copper for the ground plane to maintain a balanced, natural tonal foundation. This combination provides the high-frequency extension associated with silver without sacrificing the warmth and body typically provided by copper.
The tri-braid geometry is a signature Kimber Kable design that helps reject electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise. By physically braiding the conductors, the cable maintains optimal signal integrity and reduces the electrical interaction between the signal and ground paths.
The Silver Streak is designed primarily for standard interconnect distances within an audio rack or between nearby components. Because of its specific capacitance and inductance specifications, it performs best in typical home audio setups rather than extremely long-distance runs.
These proprietary connectors are engineered for high conductivity and long-term durability, ensuring a tight, secure fit that resists oxidation. They are specifically chosen to complement the cable's electrical characteristics, maintaining signal purity from end to end.
You can expect an increase in perceived transparency, improved dynamic range, and a more refined presentation of high-frequency detail. While it won't fundamentally alter the character of your equipment, it is designed to reveal more of the nuance and harmonic purity already present in your recordings.
