I also use this on my modified Sonos.

Strong Points
This cable had the most natural tonality. The mids had just the right amount of body that suited acoustic instruments like violin and piano perfectly. The bass was extended and had weight and presence. The treble was of a silky nature, never becoming aggressive or bright. Cymbals sounded very natural. Overall it had an effortless, fluid, and involving sound. The key word to summarize its strength should be
balance.
Conclusion
Which one to choose? I think the answer is very much case dependant, or I should say "synergy" dependent. If your system’s sonic character is on the rich side, then
Kimber Select 2020 could be the right choice. If this is not the case and if you don’t mind the slight coloration (assuming that you are not a chamber music fan), then your choice could easily be
XLO Limited Edition, which is a stunning cable otherwise. But if your first priority is natural tonality and therefore you do mind the slight coloration then you should go for
Kimber Illumination D-60.
What would I choose for my own system regardless of price constraints? Well, it has been a tough decision but finally my vote went to the
Kimber Illumination D-60. It sounded tonally correct in my system and still offered a very good sense of detail, effortlessly. And of course its price came as a bonus--I believe D-60 is the "best buy" of the lot. That said, I strongly recommend auditioning any of these fine cables in your own system.
