Audio engineer Ray Kimber was one of the first to offer specialized, high-end audio cables when he founded Kimber Kable in 1979. Based in Utah, Kimber produces an array of high-performance cables for audio applications. Over the years Kimber has continued to test various metals as conductors, new manufacturing protocols, different stranding sizes, twist lengths and insulation, and methods of attaching insulation to conductors, all in the pursuit of the best performance. Their line of AXIOS headphone cables are all hand-made, and set the industry benchmark for performance, quality, and craftsmanship.
