A customer of mine had Tara Labs cables. I'm familiar with them.
Our preamp was the first balanced line preamp offered for home audio use. Put another way, we introduced balanced line operation to high end audio, way back in 1989.
If you follow all the tenants of the balanced line standard, you wind up with low noise and wide bandwidth; this allows for cable lengths that can be hundreds of feet long with no degradation, even of a microphone signal (in fact, this is what ushered in the age of high fidelity in the early 1950s, and the same technology made transcontinental phone calls possible)). Further, no ground loops and extreme immunity to interconnect cable artifact. That is what the balanced line system is for.
