TARA REF. Gen + Speaker Cable vs. A. Zen SATORI?


I am using the TARA Ref. Gen + speaker cables between my VTL 225 triode monoblocks and Dalquist DQ 20's. Have a VTL 5.5 Tube preamp with Tara Master Ref/Gen'l interconnects thru-out. I believe my system could sound less dark, a bit more brighter in the mid & hi's with more dyanamics and presence.
The reviews & press on the A. Zen Satori's are very positve. Does anyone have thoughts on what may do the 'tweak'? Was also considering demo-ing Red Dawn II's. thanks

well, I'm a TARA Labs Master Gen 2 user. I have their interconnect between CDP & pre + their speaker cables. From whatever I know about the TARA Labs Ref interconnect & speaker cable, it is exactly how you wrote it: polite on the top-end.
From one TARA Labs website I visted sometime back here is what I found for the Reference speaker cables:-

RSC Reference Generation 2
Very revealing yet smooth. Offers overall increased performance over Prime cables. Greater transparency. Slightly forgiving in high frequency response.

the very last comment seems to jive w/ what you are hearing!
upgrading to Master Gen 2 or to the Decade should solve your issue.
I also believe that the newer generation of TARA cables - RSC Air1 - for both interconnect & speaker are better than the prev Decade model.
I personally like TARA Labs so my reco is to stay w/ them. FWIW. IMHO.
I have experience of both, I like the Tara Ref than the
Satori.In my system the Satori has no bass and no weight.
Satori is very good but not what you are looking for from my experience. They were smooth and full sounding in my system. I recommend Alpha Core MI2 Veracity as a vibrant, open and clean cable.
