Hi Calvinj, I seen that, since you are an attorney, you should know that a Tara Labs The one with grounding scheme only, not a HFX version or a ISM on board is not a realistic comparison, since Tara labs has not made that affordable, least performing version of what you owned, The one with grounding scheme, since the late 90s, that is like comparing a new BMW car to a old Toyota camry car, I hope you understand, To me, your comparison of High-fidelity cables to Tara labs has no meaning, you never owned an adequete current model of any Tara labs cables, cheers.
LOL!, kudos, The opposite, you would be up all night re-discovering your recordings, Ha, Ha., on another note, I cannot understand as to why Tara labs has not posted their New power cords on their web-site yet?, The new Reference Cobalt power cord, The New Omega Power cord, The new Grandmaster power cord, I have known about these for a couple of months, then again, I knew of the New interconnects and speaker cables for a year before their introduction to the public!, cheers.
Melbguy1, The brand new Tara Labs Evolution Zero interconnect and Evolution Omega speaker cables will be in the october issue of Stereophile audio magazine, Enjoy your vacation david, get back to us here when you get back, your friend, Keith.
Melbguy1, are you leaving us?, Holidays?, do mean vacation?, How long will you be gone?, make sure you come back here when you get back, I have enjoyed your company, cheers.
Good call Melbguy1...I've been running the TL burn in for about 40 hours now. I've been listening to my system every 10 hours or so and as expected the most dramatic improvement occurred initially (10 hours) though I continue to hear little improvements. I imagine after 50-60 hours I think I should be done, though I will admit I do not have golden ears so I cant hear every little nuance or change.
Tboooe, wow!, I have not down loaded the Tara labs cascade Burn-in file my self, after reading your exsperience here, I will get it down loaded in the next couple of days for sure, thankyou Tommy for reporting your impressions.
Alright guys I played the Cascade file another 11 hours and continue to hear improvements especially in extension of highs and overall decay of notes. I will play the file for a few more days.
Matthew Bond is a gentleman and a incredible genius!, He sent me a profound E-mail explaining alot of how he has broght the industry of cables to where it is now, and more!, This is by far my favorite designer!
Ok I played the Tara Labs Cascade file for 9 hours straight. It's hard to describe what I hear other than to say there is an ease to the music. I can turn the volume up higher than I what I normally listen at without fatigue.
Hi Melbguy1, did you sale your Jorma Prime speaker cables on audiogon?, If so, I was not aware you had them for sale, You will never believe who I just talked to?, Matthew Bond himself, The designer of Tara labs cables, and Founder!
Melbguy1, Have you watched the youtube video of the, I believe the same vitus equipment you have being played with my cables?, The tara labs Zero Gold with HFX grounding station and the matching Tara Labs Omega Gold speaker cables I have here at my house as well?, sounds pretty good!
Congrats Melbguy1!, david, Go to the Tara Labs site and down load the free Cascade burn-in disc, suppose to be really good, read what Tara said as to why this disc is better than most, cheers.
I agree, +1 for Tboooe, congrats on the outlets, if you go jorma cables, that cool with me, let us know your impressions if you get a loan from the cable co, cheers.
Misternice, How is the Revelation audio labs precept cable sounding Now?, Do you still have the Tara Labs Onyx Interconnect?, you said in the post above you are getting two Furutech GTX-D outlets, are you getting the Gold or Rhodium?
Tboooe, I can see what I can do, either on the used market, or another way, E-mail me and we can elaborate on it, however, I cannot make any promises, cheers.
Audiolab, I would love to but the Cable Co does not offer a demo for Tara Labs at all. And I dont want to use a local dealer because most likely I will buy used so I dont want to waste their time. Can you hook me up?? :)
Tboooe, Thankyou for your reply, However, why not try the tara Labs, The one digital with ISM on Board cable?, would be a good fit for your system for sure, comes in either 75ohm RCA or 110ohm balanced digital cable.
I spent some time tonight comparing the High Fidelity to the Purist and my old cheapo Acoustic Zen MC2 digital cables. The Purist had the widest soundstage and a weighty sound but ultimately it sounded too rolled off for my taste. Don't get me wrong the Purist had a nice, easy sound to it but it was not a good match for my speakers and already slightly warm system. Compared to the Purist the HF sounded very clean and airy with very good retrieval of detail and nuance. Bass was also very good. I did miss the weight of the Purist though. Vocals had more of a 3d feel to them with the Purist. I then plugged back in my old Acoustic Zen cable. I was amazed that it sounded like it was a mix of the Purist and HF. The AZ didn't do anything as well as either cable but it had characteristics of both. It had weight to vocals, good retrieval of detail and a wide soundstage. At this point I am not inclined to upgrade my digital cable. But if I had to pick between the Purist and HF I would choose the latter. I wonder what the Ultimate version sounds like or how much more money I need to spend to get enough of an improvement for me to upgrade?
David, that's cool!, hey, I was really hopeing you got both the recepticles, you have solid state, I believe you could have sold the looser to one of us here for a fair price for you and them, man!, I am confused more than ever now!, go ahead and laugh, I am having more problems on this damn decision than any other, LOL!
