The beginning
Established in 1979, Kimber Kable is the brainchild of inventor,
engineer and entrepreneur Ray Kimber. Ray's fondness for new discovery
and experimentation actually began in the first grade when he built a
crystal receiver, which he tweaked, without help or knowledge, by
adding to it a set of army surplus headphones. It wasn't supposed to
work, but it did, he remembers.
After his experiences managing a theater, a couple of concert tours,
assembling professional audio sound and lighting matrices, and sales
of high-end kits, he realized that cable was more than just merely
important. "If weaving cable could alter the sound so significantly, I
figured everything else about cables was on the table for discovery,
rediscovery or reinvestigation."
"Necessity is the mother of invention"
The phrase "necessity is the mother of invention" was the catalyst
behind the creation of Kimber Kable. In the mid '70s Ray worked at a
sound and lighting company in Los Angeles, at a time when the first
big discotheques were being installed. The lighting systems were
generating noise that was being picked up by the speaker cable.
Traditionally sound and lighting systems were not installed right next
to each other, nor did lighting systems ever have such an array of
noise generating fixtures, such as strobes and other flashing and
dimmable lights. But in a discotheque the lights and speakers are
installed next to each other. The speaker cable was acting as an
antenna array and bringing noise from the lights into the sound
system.
They tried to cure the problem by encasing the speaker cable in a
steel conduit, and while that helped the noise it also had the
unintended result of lowering the fidelity of the audio. This was due
to the steel interacting with the magnetic field of the speaker cable.
Kimber Kable was born
Ray had the idea of some counter-rotating sets of conductors to cancel
the magnetic interaction effect, but then also surmised that the
counter-rotating sets of conductors would likely not pick up noise
even without the conduit. He was correct, the noise was greatly
reduced! But, Ray was also quite surprised at the difference in
perceived audio quality. It was that discovery of noise elimination
and improved fidelity that set him to developing cable designs.
To his great satisfaction the finalized version of his braided wire
concept not only rejected the (RF) noise, but allowed the system to
sound different, better, musical. It was after this period of
discovery that Ray decided to take a risk and began entertaining the
idea of selling his new discoveries.
He hit the road with a few spools of cable and some modest test
equipment. He would first show that there was a testable difference in
cables and then would do a simple "before and after" test, replacing
regular speaker cables with Kimber Kable. For these tests Ray would
choose the most modest system in the dealer showroom. The result was
very obvious - it made a significant difference.
Over the years Ray would continue to test various metals as
conductors, assorted manufacturing protocols, assorted stranding
sizes, different twist lengths and insulation, as well as methods for
adhering insulation to cable. All the time improving, modifying, and
expanding upon his original cable concept and design.

ROFTL!                                                        ^^^^^^^^
Ottima risposta, complimenti!
