Taralabs cables

@ Misternice, How is everything sounding now, you gave great results on the rack, congrats on getting the rack, can you elaborate on the rack, whats it made of, brand, where to get it in the u.s., etc.., thankyou.

@ waxwaves, Hi man, still waiting on those pictures of those awsome Klipsh speakers, tell us all about the vintage mac system you put together, I have followed you on this a long time, dude, I want a full review here!

I recently got an E-mail about the New top two models of Tara Labs, The person asked me to keep their name un-known for reasons of debate or anything else, They claimed they have listened to the New Tara Labs top model, The Grandmaster Evolution interconnects and speaker cables, And The gentleman listened to the New Evolution Zero interconnect and matching Evolution omega speaker cables, His impressions, quote, I was blown away!, Never have I heard cables such as these, end of quote, Happy listening.

Wow, you are really lucky to have inside information.
That is so cool.
Man oh man, awesome.

@audiolabryinth. I heard tara labs" the one "interconnect. It sounds good with grounding station.

Audiol, I have the ground station. Not sure what it says hex on it.

Thanks,

@ calvinj, Hi, The jumper cables that are provided with the cable when bought as new are just as important as the cable its self, I cannot explain it, I have done so many test myself till Im blue in the face, The jumpers complete the sound!, you get a much better sound stage, organic sound, more resolution, deeper bass, I can tell you with my zero gold interconnect, you get this body sound scapes that are just thrilling to listen to, sounds like you are their at the musical event, and with no forward presatation, EVER!, no matter tube or solid state Equipment, If you do hear a forward sound, It is the componet, like the Ayon cd-2s player, the Tara cable will exspose what ever flaw you may have in your system period!

Hi,you should be able to get this there,I recommend it highly.Im getting 3d sound now.I put on a the division bell from pink Floyd,an old album, maybe not one of there best,well.If someone pointed a lazer beam at me,I would of thought I was at the concert.The new information is sweet,and crystal clear.The rack is a quadraspire vento t,with bamboo shelves.The reviews says it will revolutionise your system,it has mine.A little more,,alot of the brightness I had is gone now,and there is more air around the intruments,and basically hearing way more.I wouldn't have believed,until I actually herd it.Good ventilation,for the equipement too.

Sorry,quadraspire sunoko vento t

Thankyou misternice for your reply, I will check the rack out on the internet, interesting.

Hi Waxewaves, The digital player has a dedicated tube-12au7 head phone amp that is very impressive, with a dedicated volume for the Head Phone amp, cool!

Hi there,I have to share with you all,Ive just struck gold again.On audiogon,voodoo are selling power distribution boxes,mine is a 4 plug model,$299.Ive plugged everything into that and a good pc from that to the wall,so all the pc is getting clean power before it gets a riggle on to your equipment,if you know what I mean.Wow,the music is just pouring out now,what a fabulous midrange and weight.I better give voodoo a good feed back for such a excellent product.

Misternice, Is that voodoo Brand, or who sold you a unit?, tell us all that you can, Thankyou.

I believe this Tara Labs Cobalt power cord will take hundreds of hours to break-in!, maybe 400?, I been so busy, I only have 10 hrs so far, Ha, ha!

Hi,there is one for sale there now.Mine was b stock, it looks brand new to me, I have that on the rack too, though it has good isolation feet.Im yet to play with different pc on it, but the picture is very clear now and im just about there.

Misternice, The sence of timing of The tara labs cobalt power cord is incredible!, timberal accuracy is spectacular!, so far, No way I have any regrets!, 20 hours into the break-in, WOW!, I am doing what most audiophiles do not do, I have been doing audio a long time, I am evaluating the cord with nothing connected, just the power cord and head phones, my player has a dedicated tube head phone amp, with a real dedicated analog volume control, I want to know exactly what the power cord does!

Misternice, Are you still considering getting the Tara Labs cobalt power cord?

You can't make this up folks.

He is talking to himself:)

Hi there keith .im not sure what to do next.Ive got a pretty good sound coming out now.I should sit tight for a week. Play and listen.Sure I could easily spend another 5 or 6 k on power cables.I did come to Australia to save.Ive made huge gains this last week,no real sound stage to going up ,way past the ceiling.I cant rule out going a little crazy in the near future though.

Misternice,I agree, If you got a sound your happy with, enjoy the music, But if you are anything like me, this audio nervesa disease of knowing, what if? gets the best of me sometimes, really everyone else that is an audiophile too!

Yes.After trying the power cables yesterday,I have on hand,and reflecting on the PC from the past.I may go back to shunyata on the pre amp next.Just to know.Going from the ls 15 to the ref 5se,has been pleasure and pain for me.I still have the 6h30 Dr tubes to consider..for the pre.What speakers are you using Keith,are you happy with them.

I have herd a story when the husband died,the wife cut up the cables.Well, I hope that doesn't happen to us audiophiles.

Hi Bob, I have a vintage pair of JBL L-7 speakers with the Tara Labs Omega Jumpers on them and I own Poly crystal speaker spikes and still points speaker spikes I rotate from time to time to make the speaker cabinets inert alot better than what they were designed to be, They sound wonderfull!, I am sure I can get better, But at what crazy money are we talking about?, My speakers are 4-way, cross over at 900hz, and do 30hz to 27khz, My wife is into the audio nearly as much as I am, I believe she would use the cables that we own, I am with you on that, anything could happen, I hope she does not cut up the cables If I kick the ole bucket, LOL!, have you ever done any modds to your equipment before?, I am starting to get knee deep in doing so, for the money, The performance returns are very well worth it!

BoB, I posted two post to you in response that did not come to this thread, why I do not know?, I have the vintage JBL L-7 speakers, 4-way, 30hz to 27khz, Bi-amp speakers with Tara Labs Omega jumper cables, and poly crystal footers, and still points ss reference footers that I rotate in and out from time to time on the speakers when I want a change in the sound of the speakers, on the most part, the poly crystal footers are better, now the still points ultimate 5 is a total different league, very exspensive, better than the poly crystal footers, maybe one day I will have the ultimate 5 footers.

@audiolabyrinth. high fidelity ultimate reference will go in my system tomorrow. I will shoot you out a report. I also thought the taralabs the one was a real good interconnect. I'm going to put the high fidelity ct1 enhanced loom with ultimate reference power cord tomorrow. Will report out soon.

Thankyou calvinj, High-fidelty is a good cable, I look forward to your report, should be fun.

All I got To say at this point about the Tara Labs Cobalt power cord with top model Oyaide IEC and Plug is wow!, coming up on 85 hours of break in time, all my recordings are a new revalation!, never have I heard the missing music before Like I am now, this is truely one of the state of the art power cords out there!

I bet the jbls sound good.Ive got a used pc on the way,Ive never herd that model before,so let you know how that sounds too.The nice man of few words who sold me my interconnects, said it will killsec,when I asked him about shunyata in the picture he sent me.Ill take that as ,its a good pc,and run with it.stealth v12

Great.I may look that direction on my cd player next year.This pc has to and should keep me happy,till next year.Id like some new music next.Any suggestions.Juzablues,do you have something in mind thats pretty awesome.cheers

Sorry judyazblues.spelt that wrong

I cannot waite untill the new Tara Labs cable models get reviewed by pro reviewers, and listened to be the community of Audiogon, seems in the world of High-End, It takes a while for a product to get circulated around before their is impressions posted about them.

I cant see them being anything but spectacular,to be honest.

Bob, you know, It,s been since 1996 That Tara labs has come out with two new flagship cables like the Evolution Grandmaster-1#, The Evolution Zero I/C and matching Evolution Omega speaker cables-2#,, they also have a host of other new models that come in two different models to better suite a system, controlled Band-width and Extended-band-width cables, Both the two top cables only come in the Extended Band-width version, you should check out the site, hit the products link, Read all that you can, Read also what the explanation is of the two Band-widths and get back to me, cheers.

@ waxwaves, where you at?

@audiolabyrinth. Listened to the high fidelity ultimate reference power cord today. All I got to say I a wowwwwww. It's the truth!!!!!!!!! Man best powercord I have ever heard period. I have tried a lot and it is the best. Look at my review on high fidelity thread.

Hi,I had a bit of a read,was a bit tired to take it all in.If I was in the market for some and had the coin.Tara labs would be one of the few that you would buy without listening first,such is there reputation.

At The given Retail price of the Tara Labs Cobalt with Oaide top model IEC and Plug, I am sure there may be better, However, I will put this power cord against any thing on the market in the $6,000.00 class and cheaper, and know there is no better of a power cord, All my recordings even at 138 hrs of break-in of this power cord has me Re-discovering the music, personally, I have never owned a better power cord, I know there may be better, at what price?, $8,000.00, $12,000.00, Really!,This power cord is what I can afford, btw, Most audiophiles believe I must be crazy to even have a power cord at $5,450.00 Retail for 6ft.

Thanks calvinj, going now to read your High-fidelity power cord Review, please do a review on your speakers on this thread, sorry I missed your 2 phone calls, I will call you today the june 8,2014, cheers calvin.

Bob, when you are not so tired, study what we are talking about, does not matter if you buy or not, knowledge is power, the more you know, the better you are an asset to others.

Hi calvinj,a impressive looking cable.10k ..way way out of my price range,but congratulations.What ever makes one happy

Grey9hound, where are you?

OK will do,this weekend,cheers

Misternice, get back to me when you are done taking a peek at the Tara labs site this week-end, I look forward to your impressions, cheers.

@misternice@audiolabryinth. The speed, depth and naturlness of this cable is amazing. The technology is different. If thi was the Wild West it would have the quickest draw. Lol

Tried the Tara Labs Gold and Cobalt A/C power cords. Ended up with Stage 3 Kraken PC's.They are a much better fit in my system.

Hi Jeb, what did the stage 3 kraken cost you, if you mind me asking, I know that cable retails for more than double the tara Labs Cobalt power cord, and if you did not have the oyaide version cobalt power cord, It will not be as good, I Have the oyaide version, I could not be happier, the stage 3 kraken should be better, I do want you to know, there is a new power cord on the horizon, Tara labs has a new flagship power cord, they have not started selling it yet, It is called, The Evolution Grandmaster power cord, call Devon scott there at Tara labs, he can tell you about the power cord, this new power cord retails slightly more than the kraken, should be the good comparison to A/B, I will also add, I do not know of a power cord in exsistance at the Retail price of the oyaide version Tara labs cobalt power cord that is better, also, If you did not run the cobalt for atleast 400 hours of burn-in, you wasted your time listening to the power cord, cheers.

Jeb, when you get time, post us a review here of the sound of the kraken power cord, I do hear alot of good things about this great power cord, congrats to you, I cannot afford a power cord like that, awsome!

@jebsmith73. How do the kraken sound compared to the tara labs.

Hi Everybody!

I'm back! After several personal problems, i have now more time to discuss with you folks!

I just sold my Taralabs Omega Edge speaker cable to a fellow Taiwanese guy! I hope it will fit his system.
Why did i sell this SC you may ask yourselves?! Well, even if there is a beauty in this cable and plenty of bass, i was not happy with the highs. I think in many system is enough but on my Usher Audio DMD tweeters, the lack of air is clearly missed. Even my Analysis plus big silver oval do better.
Recently i made a disturbing experience. I tried a interconnect that changed my way of thinking about expensive cables : the Grimm Audio TPR (10$ a meter!!!!).
I bought 2 meters, a pair of Neutrik RCA connectors and weld everything all together... OH MY GOD!!!!
The level of detail, depth, wideness, sharpness and emotion was incredible!!!!!
So i began to seek for an explanation and i found the website of mister roger sanders. He explained me the filter role of a cable (great guy by the way!) and if you want the best cable in the world, you should seek for the lowest inductance, resistance and capacitance. In fact, if all those measures are no value at all, it's like no cable at all!
It doesn't mean that you will like the result cause as a filter, a specific cable will equalize the flaws of the electronics. If there is no flaws in your system, the flattest value cable will be the best.
So now i test low capacitance, inductance and resistance cable, starting with the QED silver spiral reference (cheap so not risky..). And Roger is right!!! my system reveal his flaws and his qualities more sharply with that king of cable!
I'll try the Skogrand SC Air soon because of even lower value than the QED...and on Friday, i'll receive a power amp from Roger Sanders because his design is direct power to avoid clipping and everything that shouldn't be in electronic design. You should read his white papers! REALLY MIND BLOWING!

I still keep my Onyx power cable. After several weeks now, it sounds deep and crisp as i guess it should sound. But i'll seek for low value power cable as well to test...
