@ grey9hound,I looked for your cables for sale on the gon but have not seen them so far.cheers! |
@grey9hound,My source is my pre-amp!a cd combo,I can agree with what you are saying,everybodys systems are different,so it depends to what the owner hears where they may place the i/c,I would experiment to hear were the i/c needs to be placed that waxwaves bought and see what yields the best results on his system,compliments on your speakers that you have,they are very attractive!cheers! |
Thankyou Musicover,, Kool Cables Inc!,, cool name! cheers! |
@ blueranger,Hi,what model of tara did you compair to the kimber kgac?,is this i/cs we are talking about,speaker cables,a/c cords,what?interesting!,I do know kimber does not have in exsistance a top tier cable that can remotely compair to taras upper end cables,and a compairison to the zero gold i/c and omega gold speaker cables,cabolt a/c power cord is essentially a JOKE!,do not take my word on this,go and hear for your self!,some of the bottom of the line Taras may not better some cables,but Taras best,thats another ball game in its own!cheers,and happy listening to you! |
where are you at grey9hound?,I do like talking on these threads you know,the wife does not like talking high-end audio!,she thinks I'm a broken record player of some sorts!LOL!cheers! |
@ Blueranger,I wouldnt worry about it,The kgac is a nice cable!,Tara's technology just like everybody elses in 18 years is better,really,back then there was a couple of model taras that I did not like the sound of,one such cable that I owned came out before Decade did,the rsc master gen 2,very stiff cable,sounded like crap to me!,the Decade come out and I was In love with Taralabs all over again,LOL!cheers! |
grey9hound and waxwaves,where are you guys at?waxwaves,have you got your cable yet? |
@waxwaves,The Air 1 and Air 2 does not use a grounding station!,the ends of the little jumpers plug into each other,go to the net and read on how to use the cable,the current offerings from tara only has what they call the extreme series cables that use an outboard grounding station,the extreme series cables are,the zero edge,the zero onyx,the zero gold.the model called the one and two and 0.8ex has ism on board,other words,a smaller grounding station made onto the cables them selfs and the jumper cables plug into them selfs on them cables too,only one side of the extreme series cables plug into each other and thats the receiving end of the signal.believe me when I say this!,It matters that you plug the jumper lead wires together on the air 1 cable that you bought!,Its the same on all their cables that have the jumpers!,please feel free to ask questions about these cables,I will help!cheers! |
@ waxwaves,The newest version of the air one is the air oneEX,that surpasses the model you have in sound by alot,way more transparent,if you like the cable you bought,I would not get the air 2!,I would go out of my way,to get the air1EX!It is a new designed cable,a different animal of a cable you just got!bar-none,it sets the bench mark at the pricepoint it sells at for all cables!,I would dare say its 2 times better than the cable you have now!,on the other hand for what you paid for the cable you have,you will not find a better cable for the used money you paid,in other words,$500.00 to $500.00 would be the fair comparison!cheers! |
@ waxwaves,connecting the two small lead jumpers together turns on the rf/emi shielding,makes the cable alot more transparent!, cheers! |
@ Grey9hound, there is a pair of Air 1 speaker cable for an unheard of price of $750.00,, you can buy that, then sell all the cables you really do not need, thus get your money back for the Tara speaker cable!, you will not be out nothing!,, go for it grey9hound!, this is a great chance to up-grade,, consult in jmcgrogan2 if you do not believe me,, good luck! cheers! |
@ waxwaves,I do not mean to sound like I know everything about Taralabs,I have been buying and useing them most of my life,ever since Taralabs has been in exsistence,I buy new cables direct from the factory is how well they know me,I have tried other cables over the years but always came back to the Tara sound,do not get me wrong here,I like a brand called transparent,a couple of models of nordost,a couple of models of purist audio,there is no best, no such thing as a best cable,I prefer Tara,some may not,to me,Tara works well with most tube and solid state equipment,but not all of them!,waxwaves you are welcome to come to my house and drink a beer anytime!,I do want to make sure you give your Tara cable adequate time to burn in before you make evaluations,300 hrs no matter what!,new are not,this will insure that you do not have bad impressions and get surprised for the better latter,tara cables are a little stuburn when breaking in!,in the end I am confident you will love them,cheers! |
@ waxwaves,you are very welcome. |
@ grey9hound,there you are,I was wondering about you,you have not said much the last few days,whats-up? |
@ skoczylas,cool,we look forward to your review.cheers! |
@ grey9hound,wow!you are busy!you can ask the others,I really have a simple two channel system for the main,the second system will be doing what you have said when I am done building it,the two will be for different type of enertainment,the main,pure real sound,cost no object,the other one for movies,good sound,turn table,radio,computer,etc.. you get the picture.,thanks for getting back to me,cheers! |
@ grey9hound,wow,you have been busy,the answer to your question is no,I would like to do some things like that with second system,the main system is 2 channel high-end only,the second system will be a different kind of entertainment system than the main,the second system when I get done will be alot like yours,t.v.flat screen,computer,media server etc...,good to here from you!,I would ask one of the other guys for an answer with your question,cheers! |
@ waxwaves,you get I/C yet? |
@ waxwaves,I am very happy for you waxwaves!,you got an awsome deal on top of that!,as time gos on we can elaborate more on the sound of your cable,you need to be specific on your model name,theres a difference,you have the air 1 series 2,not the air1,this is to keep the readers out there to not get confused,Happy listening! |
