Audioqest Wild Wood or Tara Lab Omega Gold?


That is the question.
Hou do you define the difference betwween these two ""wonderful Cables"?
Using 825 from JRDG, Aeris, Criterion and Revel U2 Salon2
or Magico Mini 2 and Playback Design from Andreas Koch
What is the best choice? We are speaking serious money and even more serious sound. Opinions and experiences are welcome.
Many thanks for clarifying.

I think you will get the cables new. You need to burn them in for about 3 weeks before you can judge!!
Beside the brand, material what is used for a cable influences the sound, details, blacklevel, stage depth and width, sharpness of individual focus of instruemnts and voices.

Tara Labs only uses copper, maybe the best copper you can get, but it stays copper.

When you compare cables like AQ Wel Signature with other highend cables made of copper, you will hear the differences in resolution and also in sharpness of individual focus of instruments and voices.

With the best silver you can hear more information, that is why I would never want to use full copper in a highend set. I don't say that I would not use copper. Because it also has other benefits.

At the end it is all about endresults, I am only interested in creating the best sound possible. I was in Munic this year at the Highend Show. I became aware of how much further we are in speed and resolution compared to all the others. Same thing about blacklevel and stage depth and width.

Audio becomes superior effective when you are able to use all different properties a brand/tool owns. You also need to understand what each single part you judge sound for does with the sound and your emotion.
I own 2 sets of Wel Signature xlr and also 2 brand new Purist Audio LE luminist powercables.

The Wel Signature are impressive. The stage get's a lot higher than all other interconnects I ever tested.

But with the best powercables in the world you can even more influence your set. Most people are not awar of this. I have done thousands of tests with cables in over 17 years of time!
Listen it took me 3 weeks to burn in the Wel Signature and Redwood. And we are talking about 24 hours current through the cables.

These things/periods I hate most in audio.

I was like a rollercoaster in diversity in sound.

So be aware!!!!
The Wel Signature xlr took over 21 days. It was the most irritaing burn in period I ever auditioned. Silver takes longer than copper.

I have spoken with AQ about this issue. I said; cables like Well Signature and Wild need to be burned in when you buy them. They will not do it, they said; this is a job for the seller.
