Kimber also accepts links to sights and will tell you if the product is legit.

Ivan should start making making cables, but he might put some of these companies out of business!

"I just compared Straight Wire to Kimber and Kimber just slaughtered the Straight Wire.
Also compared Cary tubes amps to Conrad Johnson. Cary won hands down". That was pretty scientific. No specs... so we should just take your word for these comparisons. Useless and wrong information. Just silly advise.

Welcome to the world that is China (and some other countries). Not just audio. How about pharmaceuticals, food, tires, etc. Just as bad with considerably more dire consequences.

There, recently, was a thread (on another site) asking about using '8TC' for a powercord. which the eBay advert was claiming was good...(the poster added a link, I almost think it was an attempt to sell the stuff?)
The images of the fakes from China were very good looking, and totally looked like real Kimber 8TC. I do not know if the Teflon insulation had the same qualities as the real Kimber 8TC. (Kimber 8TC and 12. 4TC have very hard Teflon, If you run it pressing hard with/through your hands repeatedly it will start peeling your skin apart as if burned. I know this from adding a cotton rope in mine and pulling it back down OUCH! Some people used to sell Kimber Hero in the Kimber 'bubble' packaging at a low price on ebay, and those were fakes too. I think those got shut down by Ray Kimber. If you send in a cable to Kimber to verify real/not, and it is fake, they KEEP IT. I am concerned enough about fake cables I no longer buy used cables at all. |

In addition to considering serial numbers, there’s also the matter of being able to identify the model. For instance, if a cable or cord has been updated or upgraded, whether within the same model or to the next step up, such as from standard to digital, does that show in some way on the item, or does the manufacturer help out by providing a new certificate of authenticity. I’ve found not always.
