Kimber 4VS speaker cable

Do any of you guys use this speaker cable?

What's the skinny?

How does it compare to the Lava Tephra, EA Siren II and the Vovox Sonorus Drive?

I had it for a few years and sold it. Don't get me wrong it is a good cable but not any better than good old heavy gauge standard speaker wire. I went back and forth between a few different cables and heard no difference. I think as long as you go with good quality cables you'll be fine. I do think the only cable that makes a difference is from guitar to amp. I use Vandenhull cables and hear big differences when comparing to others.

I'm using Vertex cables so I'm good on that front. I just think that it's time for a change/upgrade from the Monster speaker cables that I've been using for close to 10 years.

Might I ask what replaced the Kimber in your rig?

I used to use the same old heavy gauge standard speaker wire for parntz145. Replaced the guitar to amp part with Kimber Kable- the 8VS version that I bought from Bay Bloor radio, and I saw considerable difference. After that, I switched everything to Kimber. In the end it comes to what connection in the setup you replace with the Kimber.

I have one, and it was a pretty noticeable upgrade from the my previous heavy gauge music store brand cable. Even my drummer noticed straight away. The Kimber was more open, and I could get notes to sustain into controlled feedback much easier. The standard cable sounded and felt more restricted.

I have two. They're great. Held up to shows for years now.
