"I will say this one time, stay off this thread! Sorry Keith, but you cannot control a public forum. I personally have compared many cable’s to taralab’s top cable’s No you haven’t Keith. all the choices I’ve listened to sound broken in comparison! Only to you, in your highly biased mind. @calvinj , @rsf507 , it really is sad to watch a clueless man walking around muttering to himself. You would think that Tara Labs would be embarrassed and ashamed to have their name associated with a thread where one man simply talks to himself endlessly, but who knows? Maybe Matthew Bond figures that there is no such thing as bad publicity. I know that this thread is one of the reasons that I have stayed away from Tara Labs cables. I would be too embarrassed to tell anyone here that I owned them due to this thread." Very well said...thanks to the poster above and to others who have tried to inject logic into this thread. For Keith/alternate IDs and friends: This thread needs to die (IMHO-only) and the copy-pasting needs to end please. BTW, SuperAnnealing as referenced by Tara is a sophisticated process and they have trademarked their variant of it but they by no means invented the concept of super annealing. They do many great things in their conductors, starting with their SAOF-8N wire and their rectangular conductor approach and their particular variant of SA. Annealing has been written about in detail since 1904 and extremely advanced annealing variants in semi-conductor and other markets (including high-end wire and electronics production) particularly over the past 20 years are more. Here's one example; https://www.google.com/patents/US8349724 There are quite a few others as well. You would do Tara a big favor by stopping this way of "supporting them". You are putting so many people off from considering the brand that it defies logic. Why not simply support them by using the style of user testimonial your wrote in 1 great paragraph, which was very good by the way, that's on their website? You'd help them a lot more if you took this approach versus the one you use on this forum. |
Zephyr24069, Allow me to correct you, here is a list of cable's I have owned or listened to, high fidelity, transparent, shunata research, Mit, xlo, esp, nordost, monster Cable, audioquest, virtual dynamics, analysis plus, cardas, Jorma design, crystal cable, purist audio design, siltech, Van den hull, synergistic research, Kimber cable , etc..., Sure I've not heard all cable's, lol!, this is a sufficient amount over the year's , my preference remains tara lab's, Also, I will mention the world wide email's, phone call's about tara labs cable's because of this thread has been very informative to to audio enthusiast everywhere, It is quite exciting to associate with people that I never would otherwise, that is my enjoyment from this informative thread about Tara lab's. |

I stand properly corrected; you've owned or done detailed testing with EVERY major brand of cables and model thereof in the world,...WOW! For the rest of your response, I am afraid you are missing my point (again). The objection/constructive criticism is not that you are supporting the brand but it is how you are chipping away are people's perception of the brand by the way in which simply continue to copy-paste tons of text time and time again. People can find all that out there...post things that are new, unique and your own opinion. For the record (again) I'll say what you sent to Tara that's actually on their website under your UserID is great feedback and I am sure, helped some potential or current customer. 'nough said...have a great day! |

I have enjoyed different cable brands. I use a mix of high fidelity cables, clarity cable and atlas mavros in my system. I will be trying the reveal line of high fidelity cables soon. I have nothing against Tara labs. Some of their stuff is good. The posts on this thread have turned me off from trying the higher up stuff. I have decided to spend my time more listening to the music and not cable switching. I see very few posts on this thread from actual Tara labs users. I see the same cable speak over and over and over. I would like to hear from other Tara labs user of higher end cables actually tell me their impressions. Not the same person over and over. At least on the high fidelity thread you get other multiple users of the product chiming in on their impressions. Audiolabryinth I have nothing against you so don't take this post personal I'm just saying. But if Tara Labs thinks this helps them then more power to them. This has actually turned me off. |

Well!!!! I personally think you gentleman that has been attacking audiolabyrinth? Are just jealous at the fact!!! He has heard the cables he talkes about plus owns them as well. So before any of you all start in on someone, might need to know your facts. I have, due to audiolabyrinth!!! The grand master cables and quite frankly nothing compares better. |

Calvinj!!! I think you have taken things personally? The way I see things, audiotabyrinth has not!! Done anything for all of you to start attacking one. I have heard a lot of the cables he has spoke of and well!!! Most impressive. If you do not enjoy coming to this thread and learning about what another has experienced in ones life? Then don't come to a forum and think you are going to express what YOU think. Well go on and leave audiolabyrinth alone. |

Dimbagbirdie13 and audiolabryinth are the same person. Damn this is just sad. This is why I'm so glad I'm done with most of this. I just made an observation. I'm not taking anything personal. Why would I im not going to buy any Tara Labs. I'm not going to ever hear your system. I will never meet you. You will never hear my system. It's just more babble babble babble. Wow not going to bother with this anymore. There is a tooth fairy, a Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, Santa Claus and massive voting fraud of 5 million. Lol. Really! |
Geez fellas. This guy loves Tara Labs cables and started this thread himself. He has been rolling along for nearly two years, posting to the wind and to whomever may read it. Some have participated and others have just ignored it. Isn't there enough malice in the country/world already? Just let him be for goodness sake. Leave the spreading of hatred to the main stream media. Dave |

Hi woogie59, The zero with HFX was tara lab's original Zero interconnect, the performance is between the zero edge and zero onyx, the edge and onyx were introduced after the original Zero. The Zero gold interconnect was introduced the same time as the edge and onyx interconnect's, The zero gold with HFX was the top of the line interconnect until the zero Evolution and Grandmaster Evolution was introduced into the marketplace., cheers |
Knghifi, The cable’s I mentioned I have either owned or listened to over the year’s, At this time, I only own Tara lab’s zero gold interconnect , omega gold speaker cable’s, and Omega jumper cable’s that I use for bi-cableing that are 10 inch’s long, these cable’s are all model matched, A complete loom, cheers |
audiolabyrinth, Thankyou. My mistake it is actually the Zero Onyx model I'm looking at purchasing from Misternice here in Australia. I have a Gold on the way also, it was quite expensive. The Onyx is less so and maybe a good compromise(money wise) instead of another Gold. How much difference is there, performance wise between the two in your opinion, ie., 40%, 20% etc |
Woogie59, I say 30% when both cable's have been fully re-burned in, The zero gold has 4 picofarads of capacitance, the new Zero Gold version two has 6 picofarads of capacitance. Starting with the zero edge, zero onyx, zero gold, each step was 30% increase between each model. The new cable line up is substantially more, The Grandmaster Evolution is 50% better performance than the Zero Evolution Interconnect., cheers |
Calvinj, What's wrong with you?, woogie59 and dimebagbirdie13 are separate people, I assure you!, also, dimebagbirdie13 is not new to this thread, she changed her name from birdiemay13, As far I know, she doesn't like posting on these thread's for owning the tara lab's Grandmaster Evolution cable's, people like her avoid's getting bashed over the head for owning esoteric equipment!, I fully understand that!, As a matter of fact, I know plenty of people that do not post for that exact reason. |

Good Morning Keith,....if you are asserting that birdiemay, dimebagbirdie, woogie, etc...have no relation to you, 1 or 2 don't hang out with you, no GF/BF thing going on, etc... and you don't know them at all, then their IP connection records maintained by Audiogon would show they are nowhere near you and not using IP Addresses on the same sub-net and even possibly the same computer. I assume you knew this capability exists on the WWW? Seriously...you are accusing others of impersonating; I think you are wrong about melbguy; he's straight-up and very frank/knowledgeable in all his posts. I truly don't think he needs to have a ghost ID to interact and differ in opinion/otherwise with you or anyone else! Just my 2 cents on posting on some common threads where we don't always agree over the years! |

Guys/Ladies, Not sure what's going on but yes it is the first time I have written on a forum even though I have been on Audiogon buying and selling for a number of years. I can assure you that my name is Bruce and I live in Sydney, Australia. Best to look up my feedback and you'll see where I reside from the comments made there. If you google the time in Sydney for this post you will find it is just after 8.15am Sydney time. I just woke up. We have had extreme temps in Sydney at the moment. In western Sydney it reached 47C yesterday and 45C the day before. That's 116F and 113F in your money. My main interconnects are 0.8 both with HFX and On Board. Very nice and looking at upgrade as money becomes available.. audiolabyrinth, thankyou for your advice, moist helpful. |
