Know before you buy
The Silver Streak uses hyper-pure silver for the signal path to maximize clarity and detail, while utilizing copper for the ground plane. This combination balances the speed and harmonic purity of silver with the grounded, stable performance of 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 a consistent electrical profile, which contributes to its clean and accurate sound.
Yes, the proprietary Black Ultraplate RCA connectors are designed to fit standard RCA jacks found on most high-end audio and video components. They are engineered for high conductivity and long-term durability.
While silver cables are sometimes associated with a brighter sound, the Silver Streak is widely praised for its balanced, dynamic, and involving presentation. It is designed to reveal detail and harmonic purity rather than artificially emphasizing high frequencies.
These low electrical values ensure that the cable does not color the sound or roll off high frequencies. This makes the Silver Streak highly transparent, allowing your components to perform exactly as they were designed.
