@ jmcgrogan2, I used to subscribe to the same magazines!, I loved them!, Thinking about doing it again!, I have not had one of those mags since 2001!, I miss them badly!, cheers! |
@ Grey9hound,, Do 200 hrs on them Tara speaker cables for break-in, then tell me what your impresions are!,Let me know when you get them 2 cds, listen to them in their entirety!, I believe you will like the both of them!, cheers! |
@ Grey9hound, Your cables will sound to their fullest potential with 200 hundred hours, If they were new, you would be looking at over 300 hours, I know this cause I break Taras in quite often!, like the cables I am not useing, I give them a spin, 150 to 200 hours they sound more relaxed and all the bass and the rest of the sound is there, most brands burn-in different lengths of time,I may not can tell you about other brands, I can defiantly tell you about Taralabs!,,, I am very Happy for you Dennis that you are impressed with the Air 1 cables already,, cool!, congrats!, Happy listening! |

@ waxwaves, A mouth full of miller, you love high-end audio better than the girl friend at the time, better than all your auto mobiles!, Man, you are a nut!I litterly laughed out of my chair!, hey, try to convince grey9hound the air1 does get better with 150 to 200 hours of time!, I had to rebreak-in my zero gold I/c and omega gold, No, kidding!,200 hrs!, sounds off the chain now!, I am spoiled for life now!, the main problem with that waxwaves is, when I hear another very exspensive high-end system, they sound broken to me, badly!, oh well!, A cheers of budice to waxwaves! |
@c jmcgrogan2 , I whole heartly agree with your statment of todays reviewers!, In the old days, they held nothing back, good or bad!, I have read alot of todays reviews, Thats how I bought the cary cd-500 player, LOL!, I wont do that shitt again!, The reviewers now days is only a basis to want to listen to a product!, I believe they are paid to say what the product maker wants them to say!, I was considering a new subscription to see all whats out there nowdays and gleam at all the new brands and pics, LOL!, cheers! |
Of course you know I No longer have the cary cd-player!, Ayon all the way now baby! |
That was the days I had my subscriptions, when the subscription alone paid for the magazine!, Believe it or not, back in the mid to late 90s, I use to think of those mags, sterophile and absolute sound as the holy bible of Audio!, I have not looked at one in years!, they are not that exspensive to subscribe now?, like john said, could fuel desires of more or new equipment, who cares, right?,, we all are going to do that eanyway!, So, I should get a heads-up with desires thru the mags,LOL!,, cheers! |
@ jmcgogan2,, LOL!!, Thats exactly why I would want to have some of the mags!!! Ha,Ha!, Audio porn!!!, very good description!, cheers! |
@ waxwaves, man, are you working that hard?, If you are, good!, john said, the one who dies with the most toys wins!, work, work!, getter done waxwaves!, cheers! |
LOL!, John, You went to school with Adam's dad!, you not that old!, Adam, you will get your up-grade!,I feel you are going to go for it!, may take some time, you will get there!, congrats!,Adam, Thanks for your comments as well!, cool!I lived in the Raliegh area for a while a few years back, I was working at a nuclear power plant!, I love that town and state!, I was single, I stayed laxxx!, you know what I am saying,LOL!, The wemen there are like fricken 7 to 1 ratio!, here where I live, It sucks! its 5 men to every woman!, Terrible!, good to here from you waxwaves!, cheers! |
@ grey9hound, what are you doing?,, I will likly listen to that cd you want me to hear monday or tuesday, I'm getting to it, I was still playing my refferance cds to hear what this cd player and ic are doing, I am done now!, turns out to be a stunning sound!,, cheers! |
@ Grey9hound, I listened to the cd,I do not know what kind of music you call that?, very strange music, Its not new age music, I have some of that, any way, Thankyou, Cheers! |
@ waxwaves, what are you going to do with your old amp when you get another amp?,, sell it?, If so, you may praposition grey9hound a good deal?, cheers! |
@ Grey9hound,, oh no, I did'nt say I don't like it, I never heard anything like it!, Regardless, Thankyou for all the music!,, cheers! |
@ grey9hound, Are you enjoying the tara air 1 speaker cables?, post us a review!, cheers! |
Wow Grey9hound, you have japanese pressings!, thats cool, and I bet exspensive! cheers! |
@ grey9hound, I did not know that was your conclusion review?,I did tell you they would settle down when you are running them in, I bet if you put those speaker cables on the bottom post for 3 or 4 days to settle in, they would blow the q- 10s out of the water with bass!, and more articulate! cheers! |
@ grey9hound, Already?, I was only proposing a switch of your speaker cables for temporary fun!, It does not matter to me how you choose to run your cables,thats your system!, It will take more than an hour to settle in, a couple days playing the switcher -Roo never hurt any thing!, cheers! |
@ jmcgrogan2, The Tara the 2 was a bad choice for your experiment!, should have done another, the one i/c or the 0.8Ex !!,, Taras cable loom works best if you have all the same model like I do and waxwaves does!, my recent experiment with cables post revealed those findings!, remember, I switched the cables around for temporary fun!,, cheers! |
@ jmcgrogan2, what do you mean I do not have the zero thru out, I do!, the omega gold speaker cables are the matching cables for the zero gold I/C, I'm done!, I only use one i/c and 1 pair of speaker cables, thats the beauty of it all!, yes, I do not have the matching a/c power cord yet, which is the Tara cabolt a/c power cord, I assure you it is coming home!, other than that, this is a full loom!,, ok john, thanks for being up-front with me, you are right!, you like what you like, I am sorry,you know me by now! I always get excited!, I use all my experience to help people the best I can!, you are correct!, that seems to not always work I see!, I have tried so many cables out there and listened to a ton of them!, I will say that Taralabs is most defiantly one of a hand full of brands out there that is the best available!, you would have to prove to me other wise!, so many have tried!, with no success!,, cheers! |
@ jmcgrogan2, I agree with you totally, There is no best cable, I do think there is a small group of particular brands that is the best to me!, purist audio is in that group too!I do not take Taralabs full loom not satiesfying you personal john, and yes, we all know that all cables,models, are all about synergy,,, some people find a great synergy!, I did'nt realize how blessed those people may be!,, It does seem dificult to get ones sound to be outstanding for all that hears it,LOL!,, especially for yourself!, that might be the o.c.d. that resides in all of us!, my biggest caveat is that this hobby cost so damn much!,you may have more since than me john!, I live and breath high end audio!, atleast you have family balance of your sons, you know, the graduation and all,, your hobby does not suck all your money like mine does, I know its my own fault!, and my decision!, Its the only way I can build a world class system!, then when I am done, I will take a break!, and just enjoy the music for a while!,,,, Happy listening! |
@ TbG,, Wow!, you spoke wise words here, The still points, and the model ultra ss is exactly whats on my speakers!, $2,000.00 for 8 of them puppys!,, and I see you believe in tunning as I do!, Bravo TbG!, I always have stated you have my respect!,, I feel, If you achieve an unbelievable sound, and the sound is shockingly good to all that hears the system, why keep chassing the holy grail of audio when you have it!, may not be the best!, If it makes you extreamly happy, why indulge yourself and mess the sound up!,, cheers! |
@ jmcgrogan2, We all know we love this hobby, I do not believe I will spend thousands of dollars all my life on one audio system!, LOL!,mmm, maybe a little on a purposely cheaper system 2, or system 3,LOL!, a system 2 is good enough!, I was into smartphones not long ago, I had to have the best always, recently, I looked at my phone and said,still works very fast!, great pics,internet works fine,does more than I need!, I'm done!, so at the end of the day, I realized I do not need to keep up-gading consistently!, cheers! |
@ Davea33, Hi, What is a crl-fim interconnect?, Thanks! |
@ davea33, Thankyou for your info, that was really well written!, I have recently learned of the dude pre-amps!, I have talked to a few members about that pre-amp, They swear by it!, said its better than eanything audio research has period!, that was shocking to be told that!can you elaborate more on that pre-amp?, Is it a tube pre?,, come to think of it, these members said that pre-amp was the best available!,, yes, these members have been members here for a very,very long time!, and have vast exsperience!, so, I would say your pre-amp based on whats been told to me is a state of the art pre!,, cheers! |
@ jmcgrogan2, whats uppppp!, I just sold my 1973 pioneer cs-901 vintage horn speakers!, thats ok, I have a pair of infinity RS-1 book shelf speakers that sound impressive for what they are!, very solid build and the timberal accuracy is uncanny for such a micro pair of speakers!, cheers! |
@ Zd542, Thanks, Thats a great Tara set-up you got there!, It seems you may have a whole loom?, Its good to finally see fellow audiogoners with some Tara cables, I was beginning to wonder that the few here was the only ones,LOL!, Are you useing after market a/c cords?,,, Happy listening! |
@ Hessec, Hi?, whats up?, what inthe world are you talking about!, I have a pair of bookshelf speakers that are the infinity Rs-1 I have not used in two years!, I have the legendary JBL L7 tower speakers with stillpoints ss fotters x 8!, Taralabs omega gold speaker cables on them speakers!, Then I have a Krell 700cx amplifier that was $14,000.00 new!, the amp has been fuctional this whole time!, over the last 2 weeks, the left channel started getting alot hotter on loud volumes!, again, this just started happening!Oh, and yes, the mighty Taralabs zero gold interconnect I own, very profound these cables are! My amp plays right now!, I also have an ayon cd-2s tube player hooked direct to my amplifier!,, now, with all thaT SAID!, You really stuck your foot in your mouth!, you know nothing of whats said here, I bet you in no way have a system the caliber of mine!, I have nearly $60,000.00 k in mine! LOL!,, what do you have! LOL! Ha,Ha,Ha!, something else you are not aware of! ask all these fellas here if I know Taralabs products!, There is a couple of us and including my self that has bought Tara products since the eightys!, I live and breath High-end Audio and Taralabs cables!, If you have A question I can help you with, I will do my best!,, My experience in audio is 33 years, I do not believe you were aware of that!,LOL!, does not mean I know everything!, who does?,Thats real bad when someone misconstudes what has been dicussed in a thread and make a comment that is not warranted or necessary LOL!,,You have a good day sir! |
@ Grey9hound, This is one of the very best deals I have got in the high-end audio hobby, This Taralabs cobalt power cord!, As you know, I also bought the zero gold i/c at the best deal in the country!, Go Audiogon!, cheers! |

@ waxwaves, I am happy you got the Black Diamond Racing isolation cones!, I never owned none, but do have experience with them!, they are very good!I have listened to all their models with great satiesfaction!,, the cool thing is, If you put some cones under your digital player, you can tune!, dial in a great sound, simply by moving the cones around under the player and experimenting by doing so!, the sound will change to better,worse, awsome, etc..,, you will see what I am talking about!, just do'nt put them under the player and leave them!, move them around!, you will be stunned!BTW, Taralabs is aware of all of us that like the Taralabs products now!, all the way to the presadent of the company!, you know, this thread and the other one, I do not know if they read them yet, I believe they will!, I did not come out and tell them!, word by mouth has made all of us famous with their company!,,Happy listening! |

@ grey9hound, @ waxwaves,, Here we go, I am puting in this morning Grey9hounds cd,1995 Blues guitar virtuso!, LOL! has a great title, so lets give er a spinn!,, happy listening! |
@ Hessec, Ok, lets be clear here, What do you have for a system!, Be honest! Do not fabricate a dream system you do not own!, why do you blast me?, I have done nothing to you!, I do not know you sir!, needless to say, I take alot of pride in building a system different than the common audiophile!,thats what puts my sound in a world class venue!, I have never had one listen to what I currently own and not be shocked!, experienced audiophile or not!, yes, I do not own the best!, to me, I love what I have!, so why does it matter to you what I own?, or say?, Bye! |
@ pops, Thankyou very much for your response to Hessecs last post!, I am perplexed with his comments? yes, pops, It is indeed a turn-off!This is the same reasons my friend in LA, california will not post a conversation with nobody!, He has $50,000.00 a componet Lamm products!I am A hermit allready! I will not hesatate to say bye all together!, I enjoy all of you here!all of you are quite special to me!, you know who you are! |
@ Hessec, Thankyou!,, However, you are most welcome here to dicusse Audio in a civil manner!, I love to learn!, And you may have knowledge to benefit us all here, you do not need to go, tell us some of your opinions here without being so negative to a member!, cheers! |
@ hessec, you may at bash all the equipment we all have at will, just not members would be grand of you!, like I said, now that insaneness is over, I am currious to talk with you!, tell us some of the equipment you really enjoy!, thats what audio is about, enjoyment, do you agree?,, Happy listening! |
@ Davea33, thankyou for you response, thanks for your heads up for grey9hound, he is looking for such a sound!, Great dynamics and bass slam!, sounds good to me! |
@ hessec, believe me, LOL!, I have run these poor fellas in the ground about the performance of the cables I have! quite frankly, they do not want to hear anymore of my raving, LOL!, thats why i do not discusse with them the performace values I hear, They are sick of it, LoL!, you are really late to the party!,,we all here talk on another thread called, the one versus the 0.8EX thread mostly!, there I will make you sick with performance of the cables I do have!, they are a different animal of cables you said you owned in the tara family!, regardless, they do share a little of the house sound together!,, cheers! |
The Blues virtoso was cool! |
@ Waxwaves, Thankyou Adam for coming to my defence here, I do not know Hessecs motive!, whatever, He said goodbye, I believe! you would be supprised that alot of people would make claims based on there experience with a lessor model I/C or speaker cables,, then believe the top two models of the line of a cable company they are reffering to will have the same outcome!, 9 times out of 10 the best two models of a cable company are indeed a different animal of cables all together!, A different league!,,I agree!, The Taralabs zero gold,, omega gold are some of the best available today!, cheers! |
@ Tbg, I have some gold plated xlr to rca connectors coming!, when the new best High-fidelity cable comes out, guess where it is coming to?, me!, I am going to rent the i/c from the cable co,, and direct compaire this cable to the Tara zero gold!,, The good news is that no cable could compete in performance to the zero gold for 14 years!, untill now!, I believe the High-fidelity cables are great!,, The bad news is Taralabs will once again out perform the competition with the new awaited flagship cable coming this november-janurary!, three or four new cables will be introduced!, In 1999 when the zero gold was introduced it took 14 years for the competition to compete!,, with the new top of the line cable that will be better than my zero gold,, once again, Taralabs will send ripples of rage for their product thru out the High-end industry!,, most likly another 10 to 14 years again before the competition can compete!,,, cheers! |
@ grey9hound, I was wondering who the artist was!on the blues virtuoso!,,, the High-fidelity cable TBG has is the ultimates,, the second from the top of the line cable they offer,, they have another cable that should be available eany day now,, that is the top of the line cable from High-fidelity,, these cables really are excellent cables!, they are real world priced and do out perform nearly all of the competition currently,, Tbg has an excellent choice of cables, you really cannot go wrong with high-fidelity cables!,, the price you found at the cable company site is for the new top of the line cable from High-fidelity, nobody has the cable yet that I am Aware of!, Its coming!,I called the cable company and tried to get the cable for rent!, that would be a more fair comparison to the zero gold I/c,, the lessor models the cable company said, don't bother with compairing them to my zero gold i/c, but I do suspect this new cable may out perform the zero gold!, we'll see, won't we!,, cheers! |
@ grey9hound, yes you did!,,LOL! all this and that going on, I did not realize that untill you said so!, I guess thats crazy!, my bad., Its a cool cd!,, cheers! |
I can tell you both, grey9hound, waxwaves, you guys will be hard pressed to find a better sounding cable that yall have at the pricepoint the both of you paid!!!, A nice cable indeed!,, congrats to the both of you!,, my first taras was no where as good as what the both of you have!, so yes, a good glimpse of the better cables by anybody!,, Happy listening! |
