I have owned and used both the Kimber Silver Streak and thought it's a good IC, particularly at the price. Then I tried the HomeGrownAudio line, and switched over. I have the solid silver HGA's, plus two pair of Silver Lace running from preamp to the power amps. Great IC's, especially at the "kit" price. There is no cable in the Kimber line that is a direct match for the HGA Silver Lace, since the Silver Lace has 8 braided wires in its structure. I think the Silver Lace is one of the best IC's on the market today, and a huge bargain compared to the pricier lines from the big names.
I owned the KCAG with RCA's for 2 years. I liked them very much for everything except the bass response. I now own the Silver Lace (balanced). They are smoother and do not lack in bass response like the KCAG's. Both are good cables. I have compared each to the Transparent Reference with XL technology, and while this cable surpasses any cable I have had in my system, The Silver Lace delivers 90% of what the reference cable does at less than 1 tenth the price. My system; Krell fpb amp, KRC 3 preamp, and Theta CD.
