Kimber Kable Hero HB RCA/XLR Interconnect Cable

“it’s only when the noise floor drops do you start to hear the low level stuff that makes reproduced music sound real.” — Jason Kenedy

An analog interconnect based on proven Kimber Kable technologies and design goals. Features include our unique GyroQuadratic™ field geometry, VariStrand™, Hyper-pure copper and silver conductors and Dual fluorocarbon insulating technology. Hero draws you into the music by correctly presenting the harmonic structure and emotion of the actual performance, as well as giving you holographic imaging, detail and bass impact. Hero single-ended features precision machined WBT® RCA type connectors. Hero Balanced features “studio grade” XLR type connectors with silver plated contacts.

Features include Kimber unique GyroQuadratic™ field geometry, VariStrand™, Hyper-pure copper and silver conductors and Dual fluorocarbon insulating technology. The four-wire braid results in an improved design which allows you to achieve greater bandwidth – meaning that the soundstage is more open, the midrange more natural , bass is deeper and cleaner, and the treble sweeter.

Kimber Hero HB is a natural step up in performance from the copper Hero and Silver Streak. Used between your CD player and amplifier, or between a preamp and power amp, Hero-HB is available with custom UltraPlate™ RCA type connectors or for an improved connection you can opt for the superb WBT-0102 copper locking RCA plugs. The balanced version of Hero-HB features “studio grade” XLR connectors with silver plated contacts.
