misternice, you have been quite busy on your system, I was not aware that voodoo made recepticles, I am glad that they are working to good effect for you, I bet your system sounds spectacular, I wish I could listen to it, On another subject that you and melbguy1 can weigh in on, Is the power grid there better than the u.s.?, I noticed you guys are not on 110.
Hi Calvinj,what have you been listening to lately.? Hi there Keith,I'm quite impressed with the voodoo wall recepticle,its the first time I haven't had to use adapters for the USA powercords.In the last week,I've removed 3 adapters,a cheap wall recepticle,a old iec with a fuse in it,so things are coming along.I still would like to hear the gtx recpticles in action.
Melbguy1, I have a $5,450.00 retail for 6ft, Cobalt power cord with Oyaide IEC and plug terminated at Tara Labs here now, my power cord is 3ft, that is on my vincent cd-s7 that has two 12ax7 tubes, one 12au7 tube, and a 6z4 recetifier tube in the power supply, It was a HUGE game changer on the entire sound of the system, being I only have the player and a amp for componets, cheers.
Sts, all of the cables made by Tara Labs is the specs you provided here, speaker cables, all forms of cables they hand make all of them, their top shelf cable models take time to build, man, I would hate to be a cable builder of those top models, a huge under taking from what I have been told by Tara labs, Their is one model of interconnect that Tara Labs just introduced that is brand new to the market place, called The 0.3, it is the only interconnect in the history of Tara labs that uses a pure silver shielding in the cable, NOT the conductor, cheers.
yes, I have considered all that you have said Melbguy1 about the power cable on the power amp, I will say this, I may or may not one day get a better amp than the one I have, what I am saying david, I will not sale my amp ever, I have over $11,000.00 u.s.d. in a $14,000.00 amp, she will ride off into the sunset with me, whether she is on the main system, or a second system, LOL!, or in the closet, It's a collector to me anyway, David, you should see the stock power cord on this thing, it's huge to be stock, krell had a third party vendor make it, and you guessed it, the power cable is hard wired on the amp from the factory, the cx line is the only amp model in the history of krell they hard wired the power cable to the amp, that's all the cx stereo amps, and the mcx mono blocks as well, the stock power cord on my amp is 9'ft long!, sounds good to me, however I was thinking of some modds for long term, just an idea spinning in my head David, cheers.
melbguy1, Hi, Do you use after market power cables?, I have a very good one on the cd-player, However, I am interested in going to listen or have Tara send me the new Tara labs Omega Evolution power cord, very exspensive, It's the new second from the Grandmaster Evolution power cord, I was thinking, If that power cord was a revelation in sound performance, I would send my amp back to Krell and have them hard wire the Tara Power cable on it, I asked if they would, they said yes, If that power cable is anything it is suppose to be, that would send my amp to extreme transparency and state of the art sound?, Do you believe hard wireing a power cord is better than the way of the IEC?, I was told that it is, less contacts, direct, just an idea I am counterplating to do over the next two years, thanks David.
Calvinj, Hi, I hope you all the best with your tara labs-The one interconnect sale, However, I believe you need to correct the info on the sale, meaning, There is no such cable that is ISM on Board and still can be used with some type of grounding station!, The cable leads and the pig tails that come out of the interconnect WILL NOT fit into a HFX grounding station,I know, I personnaly tried it with my Tara Labs The one with ISM on board interconnect, thus cannot be used, secondly, The ISM on board is the grounding station made onto the cable in the signal path of the cable, This is to roll off the resolution to accomadate bright systems that do not require top resolution, instead, musicality, anyway, I am only tring to help you, that is all, good luck my friend on your sale, cheers.
Thankyou melbguy1, I look forward to such a great read, Awsome!, BTW, I did tell Matt that your player was Australia power set-up, the rest is between the both of you, cheers.
Melbguy1, I have some good news, Matt there on the dac shoot out is looking to buy a used Romulas, He E-mailed me, I would contact him If I were you, this could be a sale for your unit, good luck Melbguy1, I was looking out for you and told him of your unit, cheers.
Melbguy1, just let me know when you do the review, and I like to read it, anyway, you can talk about equipment all you want here, but maybe you might be right about a very long review here on this thread, would be nice for you to jot a few sentences about anything audio, It would be for my benefit to learn about the audio you have that I have no exsperience with, I'm sure other readers may chime in as well too,Thankyou for the reply, cheers
Misternice, I would be very careful of such deals as the one you specified of the Tara Zero Gold, I say this because Tara labs is well known to have chineese countefiet cables out there world wide!, also, I will tell you, I have never seen an authentic Tara labs With the HFX grounding station for no less than $7,000.00 u.s.d. for one meter on the used market ever!, there was a few different zero interconnects over the last 17 years, The best version is with the HFX grounding station, and the serial number will tell you if it is beyound 5 years old, they made changes inside the cable for improvements to work it's Best with the HFX station, the old version says, zero on the grounding station, that was the second type of station over the years, the first original station said, Tara labs on the station, The HFX version has two times the cerelex compound inside as all the others, and it has componet ground as well, the others do NOT, Hope this helps, cheers.
Hi,Beck morning phase,is my reference CD.If it sounds slow,I've changed out a power cord.Plus its a good recording.Keith,its hard to explain the v12,its good right across the board,its got a sweetness,about them,good detail,bass ,mids and nice and clear,musical you could say.There would be better and worse out there.I'm happy with them,and have no plans of changing them.The voodoo wall recepticle,is pretty good,a big improvementon on a standard wall recepticle.
misternice, I look forward to what all that you say about where, and your impressions of the sound of your stealth v-12 power cords here, correct me if I am wrong, is'nt the v-12 power cords the new top model power cord from stealth?, Happy Listening.
Melbguy1, Thankyou for all the replies, was you going to do a new thread on the Jorma statement cable review?, you are welcome to do it here as well, or both, so you orderd just one recepticle with one connection for one chord?, I only need a total of two of the recepticles with two outlets on each one myself, to tell you the truth, I have never been a fan of connecting more than one componet to an outlet to the begin with, I tried that with the dedicated amp line, that was funny, it seemed like the amp sucked all the power from the cd-player that it needed to sound it's best, so yeah, I understand and agree, one componet per recepticle, cheers.
The v12 would probably work quite well on the CD player.I'm starting to wind down my spending on the stereo.Rebel721 had it on his player,so it must be pretty good.If it doesn't work for me there,it apparently works good on the phonostage.
Misternice, The stealth v12 did not work to satiesfaction on your cd-player?, I never heard of the brand Revelation Audio Labs Precpt 2 power cord, you may consider telling me info on that and bring me up to date,$650.00 with free ww wide delivery is really good, cheers.
Oh,i read it wrong,i thought there was a third product.Ill order it before the 25th,chris has gone away till then.Ill put the voodoo ig 8300 on and see how that goes today.Thats 95 percent copper apparently.Yes the v12 arrived.I will have to try another pc on the cd player,im currently using a ps audio ac12,its ok.A revelation audio labs precpt 2 mite be the go.$650 new free WW delivery.
misternice, have you read the info on the furutech GTX-D gold and rhodium?, All GTX recepticles are pure copper, and then plated with 24 carrot gold or Rhodium platting, Thankyou Bob, I will keep that in mind if I do not like the GTX-D Gold, never know, I am hoping I like what it does, did you get your last stealth power cord yet?
Tara Labs has come out with three more new power cords, The Cobalt Refferance, The Evolution Omega, and The Evolution Grandmaster power cords that have not made it to the Tara labs site yet, However, anyone can call Tara labs and ask about them, they are selling them now.
Melbguy1, almost forgot, I also got a used Tara Labs Cobalt 3ft with oyaide Tara factory terminated power cord, I am happy with it, got a great deal on it here on audiogon a year ago for $1,000.00, can't beat that, since a new one like mine for 6ft is $5,450.00, it's on my digital, although it is made for pre-amps and power amps, it was the only option I had to use it, Happy listening.
Melbguy1, man, you will not believe what I did today?, I last did this stint in the late 90s, However, after talking to Devon Scott there at Tara labs today, I subscribed to stereophile and The absolute sound audio mags, LOL!, As it turns out, Stereophile will be having a review in september, likly october, november, of the cables I am working toward, The Tara Labs Zero Evolution Interconnect, The Omega Evolution speaker cables, I do not know if you are aware of, I did acomplish getting the Tara Labs Zero Gold interconnect and Omega Gold speaker cables, This may not mean much to anyone, what I have is the best cables I have ever heard in my life!, neitherless, I will keep what I have and acquire the new model cable, and then, as far as cables, I will ride off into the sunset!, currious, I would like to know all that you have to say about the new Jorma cables, I have been told by many that they are some of the state of the art cables out there, cheers.
yeah melbguy1 and misternice, Likly I best do what chris says and do the Furutech GTX-D Gold, It appears David, you are going to go with the Gold, Thanks for the furutech disclosure for me david, I did not know I was beginning to sound like I work for vh-audio, mmmm, people must think I work for tara labs, Major disclosure!, I audiolabyrinth do not work for Tara Labs In any way,form, or fashion, Bob, when you said you are getting the Rhodium, Is that a GTX-D recepticle you are talking about?, and what do you mean the inner and outer?, cheers melbguy1 and misternice.
Hi Keith,I would go with what Chris recommends,he is the expert.At this stage I've just ordered the r.I'll take just one step at a time,I didn't realize,the inner and outer are extra,no problem though.
