Tara Lab cables have bad quality control?


I bought a pair of Tara Lab Air2 cables, after I installed from preamp to poweramp, it came out very loud noise, blown out my Dynaudio 3.3's tweeters, then I tried my old cables, worked fine, I took it to the dealer I bought(San Fracisco Stereo), the salesman tried it again, came out very loud noise too, he thought the shielding of the cables may damaged, this was the 2th pair Air cables got problem, first pair had no signal, this tim they agreed to change a new pair, but they refused to reimburse my tweeters, has anyone have this kind of problems?

You should call the Attourneys Generals office and the better Business Bureu. Just call information, tell them the town you are in, and ask for the number to the closest office.

I give this advice a lot because these are two great agencies set up to help people that are in a situation like you are in now. Not only will they tell you all your legal rights but they will help you proceed with it if the dealer or manufacturer are liable. If anything a logged complaint may help the next guy who has the same problem as you.

I think this is pretty lousy of your dealer and I wouldnt give hin another ounce of business. You would be shocked if you saw the how low the whole sale price of replacement tweeters were.

This is not a reflection of the quality of your speakers but the basic facts of all speakers. I have a pair of speakers that retail for $11,000 and when they were still making that model a replacement tweeter was only $400 wholesale.

There is no excuse for them not to be more accomadating.
Bill,

Saw this post over on the Asylum. I would hope that the salesman after verifying that that cable was bad would help out with the problem. SF Stereo has been a Tara dealer for some time and they should be able to work out a satisfactorily resolution. Upselling you on another cable sounds typical from these guys.

I hope this works out for you, I have dealt with SF Stereo and have been very disappointed. They have lost a tremendous amount of business based on poor customer support and inexperienced sales people.

Good Luck.
I would simply like to state that as the salesman who worked with Bill, I went out of my way to accomodate him in getting replacement tweeters and making sure he was WELL compensated for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your time,

Thanks for everyone, Erik told me that I can get store credit for one of two tweeters, but I don't want to buy anything now, he said I can't get cash reimbursement, aslo because I post this on the web, I only can get credit for half of my loss, if I make more posts, they will give me zero credit,
I get nothing to cover my loss so far.

hmmmm. i always thought it was sticks and stones. i guess sf stereo is so afraid of public exposure, that words count too. SHAME on you sf audio. your beer belly is spilling over your belt. the girdle doesn't help. -cfb
