I too tried some Tara Cables, The One's and found them OK but nothing special. Luckily I bought them used and then sold them 4 months later at just a slight loss. Compared them to a cable out of Poland that's not very well known and at a fraction of the price was simply stunning. Could have been a system synergy thing who knows but based on the OP thought I'd give them a try. Lesson learnt!
Tthe cables are not bad it's just for the prices you pay. You expect more especially when you pay 1k and above. They won't set the world on fire but they also don't sound bad. I wouldn't say they are the best out for the money that is spent on them.
Calvinj, most cable manufacturer's you have to pay 1k and above to get good sound, I admit, I believe most high end cable's are over the top with pricing, that includes high-fidelity brand, A 10,000.00 cable should be 1k by every manufacturer.
Well if it sounds good and people are willing to pay then more power to you. As far as high fidelity and everybody else is concerned charge what you want. If you sound good people will pay it! I don't know what you invest in your product so if the market will pay it then charge it. There a great cables from plenty of manufacturers not named Tara labs.
@sts -- this is information from 2004, how exactly is that relevant to now 13 years later?
And to your question unless you have a break down of "cables, price lists, stickers, documents, and computers" the statistic you ask us to compute is meaningless
TARA Labs has been at the forefront of design & technology for thirty years. In that time, TARA Labs has been credited with numerous “first inventions” in the field of high-end audio cables; Rectangular Solid Core (RSC), vacuum dielectric technology (VDT), and now we are introducing the advent of a fantastic new product known as: The Muse Interface. (Click on image to enlarge)If you could improve the sound of your audio system, what would that be?Would it be a more expansive soundstage, less glare or stridency, more musicality?There are literally thousands of component models available in the audio marketplace. And many of these components when combined together, will not offer that symbiotic relationship and sound that audiophiles are looking for? TARA Labs has always been at the forefront of technological advances in this industry, and our high-end audio cables have brought many a system close to “perfection.”In an effort to expand our product line to bring audiophiles closer to the “live-sound”, TARA Labs is now introducing The Muse Interface Sound Enhancement System. You can now add this incredible technology to your audio system and improve your sound like never before! And it works with any audio system or audio cables regardless of brand. The Muse Interface can be connected to any RCA or XLR cable termination, and what you’ll experience is a lower noise floor, wider sound-stage, more presence, mid-range warmth and richness, as well as enhanced musicality without sacrificing detail and high frequency extension. A sound that is more coherent and natural, bringing you closer to the “live-experience” like never before!*The Muse Interface is especially recommended for systems that have wide-bandwidth electronics (with limited filtering*), or with systems that use loudspeakers that have a tonal balance that emphasizes the high frequencies, including systems that are slightly etched sounding or overly detailed, perhaps with a sense of glare or stridency. In addition, we have found that when used with high-end audio systems, the effects become more apparent. Meaning the better the audio system, the closer you’ll become with that “perfect live sound.”The Muse Interface is unlike traditional shielding methods or filter networks. Even complex shielding methods still remain in proximity to the conductors, thereby distorting the audio signal. Filter networks in boxes at the ends of the cables often contain low quality resistors, inductors and capacitors to perform the filtering. These reduce RFI/EMI in the cable itself by being soldered in series and parallel between the signal conductors. This alters the integrity of the signal, in particular, the higher order harmonic structure. Using The Muse Interface, RFI/EMI is dissipated and absorbed within the Muse technology. This function occurs in isolation from the signal conductors. The signal path is not cut and fitted with additional components. The Muse Interface is extremely effective in eliminating the noise of RFI/EMI without the attendant high-frequency anomalies of filter networks. This translates into a sound that is closer to live than ever before.
