Normally I don't post these in the for sale, but I need to come up with some cash. I usually just do these by request. These are just like Kimber PBJ's but they are silver, and have better connectors. I have 2 pairs (32 inches)ready to go out. I don't post Polkie price on the internet. If you need a pair, or two shoot me a PM.
Thanks
Ben

    Got my cables in. (I was out of town so I have technically had them for awhile, but they were just installed today - about 10min after I got home)

    My system was blue jeans cable (1505f) from the cd player to the preamp and signal cable from the pre-amp to the amp. In comparison between signal and blue jeans cable, I found the signal better balanced and focused. The BJC were bloated in the bass and a little less focused image than the signals. (a good cable for home theater, but not 2 channel IMO)

    I installed Bens cables from my pre to my amp. The sound was not as laid back (a good thing in my case) but sounded very congested (not a good thing). I was thinking it may have something to do with break-in.

    On a lark, I tried swapping the BJC from my source to my pre with the now available signal cables. Still not as laid back (but not brite or harsh at all) and almost all the congestion was gone from the sound. I will reserve final judgement until I get a few more hours on the cables and can actually sit back and enjoy some music through them, but they definately work great with the LSi's. The congestion I heard at first was apparently due to Bens cables being much more revieling than the signals and putting a big ol spotlight on my systems weakest link. (the BJC)

    So far I am very happy with the cables. The sound is great, (they image well, the sound is very balanced, and they do not seem to color the sound at all) once they break in, I will plan to replace the signals from my source to my pre with them as well.

    Great job Ben and thank you,

    Michael

    No problem. They take about 20 hrs to clean up quit a bit, and at 80 hrs they will be about completely burnt in.
    Enjoy

    BTW I still have two sets

    I also quickly received my pair, and installed them between CD, and pre. They were run in only briefly. These things are very quiet, at least in my application and less than perfect AC, RF environment. There was no grain out of the box (bag actually), and the first thing I wanted to hear was the coax to analog difference (the CA player outputs both simultaneously).

    I haven't been able to spend a lot of time with it, but after one or two changes, on a brand new CD, it was evident that the cable made it very easy to tell between the analog out, and the digital out. Prior, it would take multiple switches, on well known tracks. In particular the top end of percussives were quicker and tighter. I hope this is a sign of things to come as I spin some more tunes through. I liked what I've heard so far. Thanks Ben.

    Wait till they get about 80hrs on them;) When new they sound really detailed, and fast... but there is some "congestion" with them. They just get better with time:)
    Thanks

    BTW I just recieved another shipment of wire:)

    Received my Silvers yesterday and put them on my source into the pre on the fronts. Nice cables, got some setup help from Ben and now I'm looking forward to getting these guys broken in.

    First blush was apparent. Changes in the soundstage, tweets sounded livelier, a good thing...I felt the RDOs were a tad boring though smoother than the SL2000s.

    I'll write up my impressions in another thread as they burn in. Ben says 80hrs. :)

    Nice job Ben...great deal.
