When we bought a used Clearaudio Revolution with a linear arm, we started getting upgrade-itis. We were told interconnects should cost about 15% of the gear it’s connecting, so we bought $600 phono wires. We had MIT M2 interconnects from our former solid state amp. So, we used them to connect our ARC PH3 to our KW 500. As we continued to get educated, we read that MIT cables are great for solid state, but don’t optimize tube gear because harmonix get messed with in their correction “boxes.”
Talking to some experts, we were suggested to try Tara Labs interconnects because they are neutral, musical and just sound “right.” Well, we bought Tara Labs the Two with Ism onboard and were blown away. So when we could, we bought the 0.8 phono wires. Wow, wow, wow!
Eventually, we bought another upgraded TT—a new old stock Clearaudio Anniversary Wood, with the T2 linear arm. It came with a straight run of very good clearaudio phono leads, so we didn’t need the 0.8s. I missed them!! Even though the new cart was a gold finger 1, upgraded 3xs the price of our former clearaudio cart, and the arm and TT were huge upgrades, I could hear the difference losing the 0.8 Tara lab phono wires made in my system, just a bit more grain in the clearaudio run. Still sounded lovely, and I was happy for the solid bass improvement, greater detail with the better cart and arm. I checked to see if I could get my arm changed out to take interconnects, but I wasn’t willing to wait a year to get it bavk(how long Clearaudio said their repair/upgrade backlog was.)
i highly recommend Tara Labs interconnects! I’m still saving up for Tara Labs speaker wires. On my wish list!
