Taralabs cables

Tsushima1, if you dont tell anyone.we wont.

Great..is there a special one to go for.I havent looked into it . I will when I go on break

calvij, Thankyou for your reply, keep me posted on what you are doing on your system man!, always great to listen to your journey!

Misternice, Hi, I have a 20amp circuit breaker now on my amp, as soon as I get the GTX -D for that, I have a new single pole 30amp breaker I will be useing on my amp, as krell said it would sound better and run smoother doing so, cheers.

Ah,the receptacle I bought on ebay, people were also interested in a 20 amp circuit breaker.Im not sure what can happen there.cheers

I have the resonessence but I just sold my viennas. I'm using my toy monitors. I'm not using a digital cable right now I am listening to the albums on my sd card. My system is in a rebuilding mode right now. I will report out when I get it together.

Do please make an attempt at understanding this pertinent yet simple point.

calvinj, did you read my post to you on 9-26-14?, do you still have the ressonence Mirus dac?, how is that coming along?, which Hf digital cable are you ueing with it?

Wowww!!!

Hi melbguy1, welcome back to the thread, have you got your new Jorma cables yet?, I still would like to read your review of the new Jorma statement cables you are buying into, I have been enjoying my Tara labs cables hugely, I recently did a test that may interest you, the test was shocking and a suprise actually, I always wanted to know why bi-amp speaker jumper cables was so short, 8 to 16 inches, now I know why all cable brands make them short, my jumper cables are special order from Tara labs, they are NOT on the Tara labs web-site, the main science behind these Omega 10" jumpers is that the conductors around the small diameter air tubes is spaced configured in the same helix outlay as my Omega Gold speaker cables, they do not have the girth as my omega Gold speaker cables, as it turns out, no need for it, importantly, everything else is the same!, since the Tara labs The one speaker cables have more conductors and bigger air tube, I thought why not try them as jumper cables, they are 6ft long, but NOT with the same conductor outlay as the Omega jumpers or omega speaker cables, talking about a wow factor, The One 6ft speaker cables used as jumper cables was a failure!, I lost a huge amount of bass on the sub woofers section in the cabinet of my speakers, the imageing on the off axis sound was gone, I did get a little more forward sound of the presatation, but when I swapped back the Tara labs Omega Jumpers, it was like wala!, I had the complete total magic back, I cannot explain as to why I lost most of my bass useing the one speaker cables in this position, other than they must have sucked to much current from the bottom post for being to long, istead of 10 inches, with the jumpers, the sound stage was huge and layered, very deep and wide and tall, imageing on off axis was superb, bass was like a bomb going off, with defined accuracy that was unbelievable to behold, I did this yesaterday, so the Tara labs Omega Jumpers are very special indeed, they have transformed my speakers into a much, much more costly sound!, at the end of the day, I am very impressed by the omega jumpers and Happy with them, and I know I am one of very few in the U.S.A. that have these!, cheers david, good to see you.

Hi calvinj, I agree with your post, not everyone is here for the right reasons!, I am here for the pure love of music, I dedicated my whole life as a musician, and now that I am older and realize chaseing being a rock star is over, now I enjoy my system and my Tara labs cables, I am still building my system, that is the funny part of what some do not understand, I am getting ready to tube roll my cd-player with $500.00 a piece tubes!, The Mullard 10M for the 12AX7 tube position, and maybe the CBS 7318 for the 12AU7 position, and finally rolling the 6z4 recetifier tube to what?, I have not made permenant resavations for yet,then this player will end up on a second system I will build at a latter time, I will be very pickey as to what a so called respectable digital unit I get for the main system, the speakers I have will go on the second system as well, if I can find speakers that are very good and not over hyped and over priced!, or I might build them my self and use exotic caps inside with top tier drivers, I know people in the industry that will build cabinets to what ever my specs are, and believe this, they would never be over braced, or metal to kill the emotion of the music if I went that route, my system is on going, and will take the next few years to complete, I am a builder formost than anything, so patience and knowlegeable decisions are a must, cheers calvinj.

Misternice,

You're welcome. I can think of 3 low-cost things you might want to try.

1. Try making your own HFTs. Placement is crucial.

2. Try putting Tupperware-style containers filled with sand under components.

3. Try putting copper sleeves over IECs and plugs. You need to experiment here. Some locations work very well. Other locations may not work well.

I was reading a reviewer article guy from Arizona talking about how a salesman was trying to just sell him something instead of listening to what he wanted and he was really turned off and didn't like the demo of the product and he went to another place out there and had a great experience with his regular long time dealer. You live and you learn. It's good to meet genuine people in the hobby. I have met some great people but there are sharks in the water if you are not careful. Ready his experience brought back bad memories for me. I love the music I love the hobby but everyone in it is not here for the right reasons. Be careful everyone and enjoy!!! Signing off.

Jebsmith73,the r a l precept is good on the cd player isn't it.thankyou,you helped me out there.

Thanks sabai.For a couple of hundred dollars,it has helped my system greatly.At this stage little investments on the system is where its at.Im frying bigger fish for the next several months.Have you got something else I could try.thanks

This is the Peoples thread!, I have said that months ago, However, I will be inputting some info about Tara labs new offerings here soon, now that the small bunch of us has concluded the investagation of the Furutech GTX-D Rhodium and Gold, to be honest here,other than Tara labs information, we do not bother with, oh, you must stay on topic, really, get out of here, that is for snobs!, any one can talk about what they want to here, this is the internet!, free to speach, everyone knows if they have questions on any Tara labs cables to come here and ask me!, I am glad to share all that I know, other than pricing, that is between you and Tara labs, and Tara Labs Dealers, if you want to see real buzz about Tara labs new cables, just go to whats best forum site, and Audioshark forum site, the shark site owner himself is getting the new Tara labs Grandmaster Evolution cables, he knows there is no better cable system available!

This thread started out about Tara Labs Cables....That has long passed. What should we call it now?

I was under the impression that this thread was created in order to discuss the relative merits or otherwise of TARA LABS CABLES?

@Audiolabyrinth, Your stratergium to keep this thread, ergo Tara Labs marketing, at No1 slot, may appear effective, however this, together with your Zealot like spamming, both here and on the HiFidelity thread has actually turned me away from any interest that I may have held in auditioning Tara Labs as a potential candidate for my intended speaker and XLR cable move.
Perhaps an unexpected side affect that you might like to consider!

Hi Sabai, welcome back to the thread, seems the Rhodium works for misternice, I trust what he hears, I am going to get a Rhodium for my tube digital, Sabai, Do you think the Rhodium will be a good fit over the Gold for my Krell 700cx?, Misternice preferred the Rhodium on his solid state amp too,BTW, can tell us about your system?, that would be a very good read, How long have you been doing audio?, I want everyone here to get to know you and discuss audio with you, thankyou.

Misternice,

Glad to hear you're getting good results with the rhodium. I suspect this will be the case for many people.

Thank you Misternice! I was leaning towards getting Rhodium anyway and your findings helps to push me over the edge! I will placing my order soon.

very nice Bob, job well done, you have been a huge help to me, though I may have brought the whole idea up on this thread of the Furutech GTX-D Recepticles, you concluded what sounds best to you, and I trust your ears!, we have been talking here for a long time, many come and go, but you are there, Thankyou, so if you are out there Tboooe, read Bob's- Misternice's conclusions of the GTX-D outlets, I look forward to your other Rhodium to Bob, we can now see if more than one is to much, or better?, cheers.

Sabai was onto it.They were too busy arguing,I sort of lost interest,in what they were saying.Im the sort of person who has to find out for himself,so not a problem.The next person,could have a different opinion.Im looking forward to the other rhodium arriving.

Yes,at this stage anyway.Maybe each one,takes a lot longer,maybe more than the other to burn in.After two weeks,rhodium is still superior.Im sure others feel the same.Other posts certainly think so.

Misternice, so you are saying that in your best opinion, The Furutech GTX-D Rhodium sounds best on each piece of equipment over the Furutech GTX-D Gold?

Hi..there was no comparison. .the biggest gains were the plinus and rhodium.The amp and gold gtx even on the wall were average at best.

very Awsome indeed Misternice, I believe, on the most part, The Rhodium GTX-D on tube digital is It from your very useful feed back, I already have the best speed and slam I have had on any system that I have ever owned, so to keep that, and not to add a sound that will change my sound, The Rhodium would be good for that position, what was your impressions on the solid state amp between the Gold and Rhodium?, Bob, whatever is your best sounding, biggest gauge for conductors power cable should go on the wall to power distributor, a power cord in this position carries the biggest burden of most componets, so if the Harmonix xdc2 fits that description, then you have what you need there, look forward to more, you are doing a fine job!, Happy Listening.

Pink Floyd release a new album on the 10 of November.I need some new music.This album should be interesting.

Hi,its not a conditioner,its a power distributor,and it actually didn't sound too bad this time with the amp plugged in it.So I could give you a little insight.The cd player plugged into the rhodium,opened up some and I could see further into the recording.I could only have the gold,if it is like it is now,through the rhodium wall plug.The gold is too polite,and you give up speed and dynamics.This is only my point of view.I did try out the pre and the amp aswell, while I was at it.The box has a rhodium iec and I used the harmonix xdc2 pc,between the wall and box. ? what do you think ?

Misternice, Thankyou for helping me and Tboooe, however, be careful, it's not wise to run a power amp into a power conditioner, your amp will either sound quirky, or get hot from starving from power if it is a high current amp of over 150 watts per channel, I look forward to what happens here, and your impressions, cheers.

I can put the amp pc in the voodoo box and do a a.b between the rhodihm and the rhodium gold combo..which is better than just the gold.Ill do it after work and let u know what the cd player does

Hi,to do that keith,I would have to take out the amp pc which sounds the best in the wall.I can tell you which ones sounds best,the rhodium,though I could be wrong.I guy on audiogon ,has just listed 3 for sale.Theres only one way to truly know.

+1..Misternice I would love to hear your opinions between the Gold and Rhodium.

misternice, I know it may be a pain in the butt, but could you put the cd-player straight into the Rhodium and see what that sounds like then take the Rhodium out of the wall, and then put the Gold in and plug cd-player into the wall with the gold, you will get a A/B test like this, and I would be grateful of your trouble, and I will know for sure which one is best for tube digital so I can procceed with buying the one I need for my tube digital, thankyou.

Hi,Ive put the gold gtx,in the power box.The cd player and pre are plugged into that.When another rhodium arrives,then I can do the a,b tests.At this stage its another big gain,with the rhodium at the wall and gold together.Ive got a smoother,fuller sound with detail,blacker back ground.Hence Im hearing a few things Ive never heard before.The next rhodium is on the way,then we'll see.Hope that's help full.

Calvinj, congrats on selling your Tara Labs, The one interconnect with chassis ground, $899.00 was a fair price for a discontinued 20 year old cable that does not sound as good as the 2014 Tara Labs The One with HFX grounding station or the ISM on Board version of The one, really, congrats are in full order, it is difficult to sale any thing these days!, cheers to you Calvin.

Interesting misternice, great feed back, please keep it coming, so you have not put a Rhodium GTX-D or Gold GTX-D on the tube cd-player to hear which one sounds best with that position?, can you do that test for me?

Hi,I have the amp plugged into one socket,and the voodoo power box plugged into the other.The cd player,pre are plugged into that.I will take out one of the voodoo recepticles,and install the gold gtx,and see how that goes as they are far superior.I will order another rhodium and install that into the power box aswell,as it can take two by two recepticles.My instincts tell me to have two rhodiums in the power box,but one step at a time.Who knows the gold my find a home there,it still is a very fine piece of audio kit.With the rhodium,I lost a lot of brightness,Im hoping to lose more when the power box gets a make over with gtx.

Misternice,A very important question here, Do you have The Rhodium GTX-D on your tube cd-player?, I look forward to what you have to say about your impressions of the Gold GTX-D recepticle compaired to the Rhodium GTX-D on your system, thankyou Bob.

Melbguy1, Hi, do not leave, I enjoy your postings here, who cares that I have retail $45,000.00 cables on my system?, that is my bussiness, everything has been smooth untill you knew that I had some vintage JBL speakers and a German chinnesse made cd-player, this does not matter David, we go back along way and I enjoy talking to you, please forgive me if I said anything wrong, I am sorry if I frustrated you, I did not intend to, cheers.

congrats on the Furutech GTX-D Rhodium Misternice, I was under the assumption you had all solid state system, I stand corrected, I am sorry for the mix-up, so you have tube cd-player and pre-amp, ok,do you have the Rhodium outlet on your tube cd-player? cheers.

Hi,I thought this gtx thing,mite be a sore point.But I had to say my unbiased findings.Along with several other posts.The rhodium is the best,on many a stereo system.Its not forward,its bang on,more dynamic and a lot closer to where I want to be.cheers

Hi..I have a tube cd player and pre.Out of the box the rhodium has more bling and music coming out.it .It could be it takes longer to settled down or its a better match with my other rhodium bits and pieces. Ill put the gold recepticle in as well and try the pc in different positions. .But if I had to pick one or the other. ..it would be the rhodium. .I like what it does.I think you will have to try it just to know...do you think ?

Hmmm judging something you never heard. I don't know who would do a fool thing like that. LOL.

Melbguy1, The JBL-L7 speakers in stock form retailed for$2,000.00 in 1992, that would put them in todays market alot higher of a retail price new!, I will also go ahead and shock you even further!, years ago, I had a pair of Cerwin vega PA speakers for the stage that was built for keyboards, they were the V-15E speakers, they were three way Horn loaded speakers that rolled off the treble at 16KHZ, a bullet horn, and a big mouth horn and a folded 15" woofer, guess what, most of the vocals come out of the 15" woofer, I had Krell Class A amp FPB 200 and Tara Labs Best cables at the time with 3 grounding stations on the interconnects!, two mono stations, and one stereo station, the speakers were 106 sensativity and did 40hz, Guess again? that system sounded better than the one I have now!, I had my own inventions for speaker stands, my own resonance tuning devices that I invented, and I modded the speakers with quality internal wireing,I also added gold plated 5-1 speaker post, I got laughed at on a regular bassis!, well, lets say I made money with that system taking from bets that it sounded better than their multi thousand dollar speakers and system!, what I am saying, never underestimate a system entirely to you hear it!

I will also say, I do not believe Misternice has any tube equipment!, this is interesting that he says the Rhodium outlets sound better on his system, I will also note here that he is a proud owner of the discontinued Tara Labs Onyx interconnect with HFX ground station that is right under my Zero Gold in performance in the old Tara labs model line up, cheers.
