Digital Cable: Stereovox XV2 vs Kimber D 60 illuminati

In the early 1990s, Chris Somovigo introduced a range of ground-breaking digital cables of which the Kimber Illuminations D -60 all silver cable is the most famous. This Illuminations line had a revolutionary design, great performance and outstanding value, defining a new benchmark for the industry.Kimber Illuminations D -60 Recently Chris designed his new Stereovox HDXV cable which, like his earlier designs, offered ground breaking design and remarkable performance at very reasonable cost. In terms of performance, the HDXV ran circles around the legendary D 60. Kimber Illuminations D -60 In late 2005, all new XV2 (replaced the HDXV) and is a flexible, small diameter cable of unusual precision, constructed from pure tape-wrapped Full Density PTFE Teflon, a silver-plated copper woven shield, an FEP jacket and a single high-purity copper conductor with an unusual feature: it is a micro-sized tube with 0.008" thick walls.A reviewer in 6 moons audio mentions that, "This "microtube" feature gives the conductor the skin profile of a 32 AWG conductor while maintaining the lower resistance of a larger gauge. This permits the XV2 to perform with the agility and grace of thin-conductors without suffering from their high resistance - and yet it is also a monocoque product that won't suffer from problems associated with stranded and "litz" designs that have purported to solve the "skin-depth vs. resistance" challenge."Stereovox XV2Auditioning the XV2, I had no doubt in my mind that this is what I need as a upgrade. My friends and I often use this as a conversation piece. Points of discussion are centered around its clarity, exceptional imaging and soundstaging particularly its lower bass and mid bass handling. The XV2 cable reproduces audio in a way that conventional cables seem unable to match and is just $150.00 for a 1 meter cable. The D - 60 is expensive ($395.00 new) because it is an All silver cable like Nordost Silver Shadow. The XV2 does contain silver but is better optimized for reproducing the audio spectrum in its entirety.Relegate your D 60 to the Hall of fame! A new kid is in town.Good luck and God speed!
