Kimber Illuminations Orchid

Hey guys;

This digital cable was supposed to be one of the top a few years ago. How does it stack up today? Those of you who loved it and switched, Why did you switch? And what did you get more of?

I still have mine. From what I understand, it was used in the professional industry for its very focused and narrow sweet spot... perfect for pros with near-field monitor for mixing... I really like mine for that reason... I also have a Tara Labs Air digital cable... it's not as focused, but it throws a really wide sound stage.

I believe that Chris S. is the designer of the Illimuniations, and he now owns Stereovox. John Pharo can help you if this is the case and Chris has a newer cable, or if John thinks that you might check out other cables from the library and audition them. Chuck
