“The new physically flexible TARA Labs Grandmaster Evolution, incorporating almost twice as many rectangular, solid-core "8 Nines" oxygen-free copper elements (288 conductors versus the omega Gold's 168 per channel speaker cables), adds the speed, transparency, dimensionality and, especially, textural suppleness….”

After my first post on the WBF I have been silent about the Tara Labs grandmaster evolution loudspeaker and interconnect cables because I wanted to break them in and learn more about them while doing so. I believe they are more or less played in by now and after some changes to my AC I believe I am in the position to make a final judgment. I am even more amazed and impressed now than I was at the time of my first post. These cables are so transparent and dynamic it is almost frightening. Furthermore, they present a huge soundstage, in particular the depth is unbelievable. Yesterday evening I played inter alia an old EMI recording of Shostakovich symphony no. 6/11, conducted by Paavo Berglund (beautiful recorded BTW by recording engineer Stuart Eltham), on my Forsell/Koetsu coral stone/Kondo step up/Zanden 1200 mk III (on the latter I used the special EMI curve) phono combination. The soundstage was phenomenal in depth. The stringtone was oh so sweet and at the same time the micro details in the recording were brought alive so easily and beautifully; I have never heard this recording sound so impressive before. In short, the Taralabs grandmaster cables are by far the best loudspeaker and interconnect cables I have ever experienced in my audiophile journey of more than thirty years. I urge everybody who is in the position to do so to give these Taralabs cables a listen: they are imho phenomenal. – Audiocrack

"Tara Labs Grand Master Evolution ultra high end cables
Okay guys. Non-believers in the cable side of this hobby please hit the back button immediately. Last week I received Tara labs new Grandmaster Evolution speaker cables and interconnects. These cables are definitely at a price point that only a handful of people would consider. Just a little over 100 K for a 3 meter set of speaker cables and a one and a half meter interconnect and a 1 meter interconnect….

The only thing I will say is wow! Out of respect for my other cable manufactures I do not want to go into much detail at this time …..

I know this is a truly crazy amount of money for cables. But could the performance increase possibly be justified? For the people that can afford it I will say a very big YES!

Hi everyone,this is more buzz from forum sites about the excitement of Tara labs new cables, of course, I welcome all discussions of the topics of the new Tara labs offerings, and their current offerings, and discontinued cables as well that are still top cables in the industry, This particular post was when Tara Labs had not yet officially started selling their new cables, that was less than 6-months ago, thankyou, Enjoy,, Additional Comments from Whatsbest forum

About two weeks ago I received the new Taralabs Grandmaster Evolution (6 ft) loudspeaker cable and Taralabs Grandmaster Evolution (1,5m) interconnect cable. These new top of the line cables are not yet officially launched by Taralabs. However the word spread rapidly that the Grandmaster Evolution cables are something extraordinary and they can be ordered, although the availability is restricted (partly because it takes quite some time to produce them). Being a music lover and audiophile for more than thirty years I have learned the hard way that a lot so-called break through products do not live up to the expectations. And although I was a little skeptical that the new Grandmaster Evolution would outclass my taralabs Omega Gold and Zero Gold cables, after talking several times to Matthew Bond and Devon Scott I took the jump. Boy, what am I glad that I did!

Having listened to them for about 50 hours I can say the following: the Grandmaster Evolution cables are by far the best loudspeaker and ic cables I have ever heard. These cables sound on the one hand very calm/serene but are on the other hand the most dynamic cables I have ever experienced. Furthermore they are very refined (velvet) sounding with a huge soundstage (deep as well as wide) but at the same time with a focus that exceeds easily all other cables that I am familiar with. Probably as a consequence of the great extension of the Grandmaster Evolution cables they also give you the impression that the soundstage is larger in height without making the players and instruments larger than they are. For example, the distance in height between various players in a large orchestra can be noted easily. Talking about an inky black background and transparency: the Grandmaster Evolution excels in this regard.

Hi everyone, I wanted to acknowledge this Audiogon member, he owns some of the very first Tara Labs cables ever produced, the cables still work correctly after all these years with no defects of the cables coming apart, Tara Labs has a life time warranty on their cables, as you can see, the warranty likly never gets used, congrats to Tonykay for being such a committed Tara labs cables owner!,this is his post from the beginning of the year, cheers,,,,03-26-14: Tonykay
I have used Tara Labs cables almost exclusively for many years. I once read that the surest way to "audio hell" was to use different brands of cable, so I have tried to remember that when I'm tempted to experiment with other brands. You may consider this a testimonial. I use Quantum Reference XLR and Pandora S RCA interconnects, Space and Time w/TFA Return and RSC Prime BiWire speaker cables. I can't comment on how they sound relative to other cables because I haven't tried many. I like companies that do what they do well. My system consists of McIntosh, Sony, Sonus Faber, Stax and Nakamichi.
