Angeboten wird „VDS Cable XLR Kimber KS 1126“ von Kimber Kable aus der Kategorie „XLR-Kabel (Analog)“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6157713859 endet am 06.09.2026 um 17:37 Uhr.
Is €1,600 a bargain for Kimber’s flagship KS 1126, or just a fair price for a top-tier interconnect? At €1,600, this listing sits well below the estimated median used price of €804 for the KS 1126? Wait, that median seems off—let me recheck. Actually, HifiShark reports an estimated median of €804 based on 6 listings, but new MSRP is $2,870 (~€2,650), and used pairs have sold around $699 (~€640) for 0.5m XLR pairs. However, the listing here may be for a longer run or include both 0.5m and 1m pairs. If this is a standard 0.5m pair, €1,600 is actually well above the typical used range (€640–€850), making it ambitious unless it’s a full-length set or includes extras.
The KS 1126 is revered for its hyper-pure solid silver/copper conductors, orthogonal geometry, and dual concentric core design, delivering exceptional clarity and noise rejection in balanced XLR setups. If this listing includes both 0.5m and 1m pairs, original boxes, and pristine condition from an original owner, the price becomes more justifiable. But if it’s just a single 0.5m pair in “good” condition, €1,600 is overpriced compared to the €640–€850 typical used range. Verify length and accessories before committing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Kimber Kable traces its roots to 1979, when Ray Kimber founded the company in the United States after working at a Los Angeles sound and lighting firm in the mid-1970s. Frustrated by noise interference in professional disco installations, Kimber experimented with braided wire designs to counter RFI and EMI without shielding. Hand-braiding his first speaker cables proved transformative, not only rejecting noise but enhancing audio fidelity, prompting him to launch the brand as a pioneer in high-end cabling.
The company specializes exclusively in audiophile cables, including speaker wires, interconnects, and power cords, eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or source components. Its signature technologies—such as Varistrand conductors blending varied strand diameters, GyroQuadratic braiding, and high-purity copper or silver with Teflon insulation—minimize loop area and antenna effects for superior neutrality. Precision terminations and robust builds underscore a commitment to durability and performance.
Kimber Kable holds a venerable position in the high-end audio market, revered for over four decades as a boutique innovator among discerning buyers. While pricing sparks debate, its proven noise-rejection geometry, worldwide dealer networks, and comprehensive warranties affirm its status as a trusted choice for systems demanding transparency and longevity.
