8TC
“This is a very natural and clean sounding cable and one which brings a sense of warmth that is all too often missing. Fortunately this doesn't mean it lacks definition… Bass is weighty and full and again well timed and the midrange is where the spriteliness comes from. Great performance for the money”.
Jason Kennedy, AV Review, 28th March 2006
Doubling the number of conductors of 4TC, 8TC is a natural upgrade for your loudspeakers and represents excellent value. 8TC is available with pre-cut and stripped ends, Kimber 4mm Banana plugs or UltraPlate™ Spade connectors.
8TC is made with Kimber's TCSS VariStrand™ wire - click here to read more.

"Stepping Up"
It is difficult to evaluate this upgrade from my 4TC cables because l have also upgraded my amplifier and system supports recently. However, with a couple of weeks of "running in", it appears to me that these cables are just adding to the biggest smile l have had on my face in years. Treble has sweetened up and mid-range seems to be in a different dimension. Old favourites such as the original Beatles Album, "With The Beatles" has so much more going on in the mix than l thought. Other albums from a similar age are also revealing extras in the mix that l had not noticed. Turning to CD and the results are similar. There are echoes, harmonics and atmosphere everywhere. Bass is more detailed with clear definition between the notes. What l am hearing is not a clinical sound but, rather, a full and emotional performance. It is warm where necessary and attacking at the right moments. Things will improve further after some more hours of listening. I may not be available for a while.
