I think I see what you mean, but . . .

I have one half-meter pair of Kimber PBJ between CD player and preamp. I just braided up and terminated a 1.5M pair, using #20 hookup wire (red, green, and black--very pretty). Home brew- pseudo-Kimber. Faux Kimber. On one piano concerto, they sounded great! Lots of detail and subtlety; yet the loud passages had a sense of ease and clarity to them.

But on most other recordings, they sound tinny. Too much high-frequency emphasis. I suppose that's where the detail came from. But it gets quickly tiresome, and the balance is wrong. Sounds fine on FM, though. Of course, they are only home-brew, not real Kimber Kable.

I wonder--how similar to that would things be, if I PBJ'ed the whole system with the real thing?
