I have had the Tara Lab's cobalt reference power cord a few month's now, I believe it's fully broken in now,  an improvement over the original Tara Lab's cobalt power cord,  at $8,000.00 retail,  bigger sound stage in all directions, a wonderful sounding power cable. 
I sold the Luxman L-509X integrated amplifier,  I'm in the process of auditioning different amplifier's and integrated amplifier's.
I have a new krell 300 k xd integrated amplifier coming for an audition,  should be here in 2 weeks or less. 🤓
Hi audiosaurusrex,  I would get Tara Lab's to do the cutting and reterminateing of the speaker cable's,  the shorter cable's will sound a lot better, you will notice the difference, ☺🎵🎼🎶. Cheers
 Hi dave_b, The krell k 300I continues to burn in,  currently,  uncanny clarity has emerged from the sound stage,  mid-range  sounds impressive,  bass sounds natural,  but I'm in hope's of it getting much more deeper,  at first,  their was an emphasis on the upper mid-range that seemed to be on the bright side, that seems to be settling down  now to sound natural,  at high volumes,  this amplifier runs hot, but not to hot, warmest little krell I've encountered,  does your vanguard do this? 
Hi dave_b,  This amplifier has the large and wide sound stage with medium depth, I do know that this model k 300I integrated amplifier   is the first ever built  by krell to have class A amplifier and pre-amplifier, this also has the Krell XD modification,  krell does not stress an invitation to upgrade this amplifier to XD Since this model integrated amplifier is where XD derived from and is already implemented  within this model,  I believe that is why this has uncanny clarity that I mentioned,  I'm assuming this unit gets hot when driven hard because all of it is class A, no worries,  it does not get to hot, just A lot warmer than past krell integrated amplifier's that I remember. 
I recently sold the Rega osiris integrated amplifier, and the Luxman L-509X integrated amplifier,  the new krell k300I integrated amplifier seem' s to have everything better than the previous amplifiers,  350hrs and still breaking in,  the clarity this amplifier has is just uncanny to say the least,  non fatigueing!, unlike the Luxman,  the osiris was good, but lacks the treble detail, and articulated bass as the Krell, or clarity,  this is the order of my findings after living with these unit's,  krell k300I, Rega osiris,  Luxman L-509X,  all have used same everything,  digital,  cable's , furutech gtx-Rhodium duplex receptacle's, dedicated line's, etc..., cheers. 
Hi debbarnes58, I have enjoyed reading your well written post, believe it or not, as good as the 0.8 phono cable’s are, you would be very impressed with the zero evolution phono cable’s, and the Grandmaster phono cable’s, these cable's would do the clear audio gold finger 1 a huge justice, it would be like listening to the cart for the first time, to be clear here, you will get all the cart would ever do, cheers.
At this point of break in of the krell k 300I,  it clearly is substantially better than the Luxman L-509X integrated amplifier! 
I have the Tara Lab's cobalt reference power cord on the new krell k 300I with dedicated line and furutech gtx-Rhodium d duplex receptacle,  this combination has elavated the performance of the amplifier beyond my expectations 🥂 cheers. 
Tobor007, lol!, that is some late 80's cable's,  high end cable's by anyone sounded like zip cords back then, the industry just started making so called high end cable's. 
Hi  vemanoel, The Ayon Spirit III you have is new to the market?, how do you like it?, what type tubes are in it?
I had a chance to listen to some Tara Lab's head phone cable's,  they take some time to burn in,  they sound very good to say the least. 
Tara Lab's new muse speaker jumper cable's  at a affordable price,  review coming soon,  A good alternative to bi-wireing.
Hi cabinlife, Contact Tara Lab's for the size of the spade size,  however,  I can attest that the spade lugs Tara Lab's provide or sell fits anything I've ever tried them on, in this case, my opinion,  spade size is irrevalant. 
You should read what a member of what's best form did for a review of the nordost odin 2 versus the Tara Lab's Grandmaster interconnect's! 
Hi,  Decided to pull the trigger on a krell vintage piece,  the krell kav 300I, it's been some years since I owned one of these, this is my second one, thinking of doing the Tara Lab's The One power cord on this,  what's your opinion? 
Tara Lab's has come out with a new cable called,  Evolution Concerto, each channel has 216 conductors, excellent speaker cable's for high frequency extension, full midrange, with deep powerful bass.
The head phone cable's from Tara Lab's are statement cable's, recently had the chance to do critical listing with the different models, loved them to say the least, I find it hard to imagine any other cable's would sound better than my preference here.
Hi romney80, This depends on which Evolution cable's you are talking about?, there is different models. 
 Hi a acdvd, The Air forte would be the thinest, The Tara Lab's The 2 is the better choice between the three, each step gives you more resolution, bass, treble detail,  however,  if you pull the trigger on the 2, be sure to get the model with the ground station,  the noise floor is lower with that set-up. 
Hi jafant, same system I've had a few years as main system, I've been working on other systems I have, send a link here of your virtual system. 
Hi,  I just bought the Tara Lab's Iconic 2 interconnect's for the wife for Christmas, this cable is 1/8 to RCA connections,  out of the box the bass was lean, vocals decent,  treble and mid-range average,  however,  after  a 12 hr playing time these interconnect's have surprisingly very good vocals and the mid-range and bass is impressive for a cable that is $280.00 for 2 meters, I would dare compare this cable to a whole lot more expensive cable's by any one else, the cable is improving with more playing time, the sound has become huge without exaggeration, most State of the art Tara Lab's cable's take 500 hrs of burn in time, based on the improvement's here with these interconnect's , I suspect they will fully bloom at 100 hrs of play time, we will see what happens,  bottom line here is a good recommendation for a cable in this price range, very impressive indeed, cheers. 
The iconic 2 interconnect's sound impressive for what they cost, the mid-range is very revealing on drums and vocals sound like they have no business doing this in this price range!
After having the iconic 2 interconnect's for a while,  one thing that is absolutely apparent is this cable is louder than previous cable's of this type that I've used before, this could be from the much improved clarity, the noise floor is substantially lower.
