I recently got a .5 meter Kimber Kable Silver Streak and tried it on my portable system just for fun. The change seemed very subtle but I think it had more detail and clarity over the other Kimber mini to RCA cable I was using. I got this for my home system but figured I would try it out on my portable system just for kicks.

Hey... shouldn't *no* cable always be better than *any* cable?

system and get the magic

The level does not seem to drop or anything indicative of filtering.

Shouldn't being able to hear be better than trying to make electrons span air gaps?

And acid was already connecting the headphone lead directly into the amp... see what I mean by 'no cable better than any cable'?
