Kimber Kable TAK-AG – Reference phono cable with VariStrand™ pure silver conductors for uncompromising analog playback

The Kimber Kable TAK-AG is the reference phono cable in the Kimber Select series, developed for music lovers who want to get the maximum sound quality out of their analog playback chain. Featuring four high-purity VariStrand™ pure silver conductors, the patented OCQ/2™ (Orthogonal GyroQuadratic) weave geometry, air-PTFE insulation, and an elaborately constructed full shield, the TAK-AG sets standards in terms of detail resolution, dynamics, and naturalness. The design was specially developed to transmit even the finest signals from an MM or MC cartridge with low loss and no interference.

Designed for the highest demands in vinyl playback

The signal from a phono cartridge is among the most sensitive in any hi-fi system. Even the slightest electromagnetic influences or hum interference can impair sound quality. The Kimber Kable TAK-AG minimizes this interference through its elaborate construction and ensures an exceptionally low noise floor. Voices sound tangible, instruments unfold their natural timbre, and spatial imaging gains significantly in precision and depth.

Four VariStrand™ pure silver conductors for maximum signal purity

At the heart of the TAK-AG are four high-purity VariStrand™ pure silver conductors. Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of all common conductor materials and enables particularly fast, low-loss signal transmission. The VariStrand™ technology reduces skin effects and ensures uniform signal routing across the entire frequency range. As a result, the TAK-AG impresses with exceptional transparency, finest detail rendering, and impressive dynamics.

Patented OCQ/2™ geometry with elaborate shielding

The exclusive OCQ/2™ (Orthogonal GyroQuadratic) weave geometry reduces crosstalk as well as electromagnetic and high-frequency interference to a minimum. It is complemented by a high-quality full shield and air-PTFE insulation, which reduces capacitance and dielectric losses. The result is an exceptionally precise, interference-free, and authentic signal transmission with maximum musicality.

Perfect for high-end analog systems

The Kimber Kable TAK-AG is ideal for connections between:

• Turntables

• MM and MC cartridges

• Phono preamplifiers

• High-end preamplifiers

• Reference analog systems

Its uncompromising design ensures that even the finest information from the vinyl record groove is fully preserved and transmitted faithfully to the subsequent electronics.

Various connection options for maximum flexibility

The Kimber Kable TAK-AG is available with various high-quality connection variants and can be optimally adapted to a wide range of turntables and phono preamplifiers:

• Ultraplate – Ultraplate

• DIN – Ultraplate

• 5P-DIN – WBT-0114 Cu

• WBT-0114 Cu – WBT-0114 Cu

• WBT-0102 Cu – WBT-0102 Cu

All connector variants guarantee permanently low contact resistance and reliable, low-loss signal transmission.

Handcrafted in the USA

Like all Kimber Kable products in the Select series, the TAK-AG is meticulously handcrafted in Ogden, Utah (USA). The highest quality materials, precise workmanship, and strict quality controls guarantee exceptional build quality as well as consistently stable performance at a reference level.
