edited December 2012 in The Clubhouse
Christmas Karma has been slow this year from what I remember from years past, so lets kick off one since Digital music seems to be a pretty hot topic these days.

I bought this cable new and has maybe 40 hours on it. I may have the original box or might not.

In either case it is in great shape. If I find time I will take a picture of it and post but in case I dont here is a link to one just like it. http://www.musicdirect.com/p-4592-kimber-b-bus-usb-cable.aspx

To qualify you must use it with your DAC, say your in, write a review after using it and pick a number between 1 and 100. I will pick a winner Christmas day or day after.

Thanks to Club Polk and all who make it work and participate.

Merry Christmas.

    Sure, why not! I may not have the top end of DAC's but anything is better than Geek Squad cables.

    Thats straight sig material there Skip!

    P.S. I am VERY much looking forward to your thoughts on that puppy. It might just end up in my office rig (which shortly should have the Citation 11 and 12 deluxe in it, and if I am SUPER lucky, those DreamCatchers).

    P.P.S. As a small reminder...

    One thing I have read about this cable that people have done and said it improved the sound was remove the beads (forget what they are called).

    I have not done this.

    For the money it is a great cable and very well made.
