Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam ,

Still here Audiolabyrinth! I will definitely post my impressions of the Tara Air 1 ic for you and Grey9hound, don't worry. I still think the Solo Crystal Oval is a great cable, but I am expecting the Tara to better it. Gonna try it in place of the AP that is now between amp and preamp. I don't know if anybody noticed but, I am using Discovery Essence with Cardas Silver RCAs from sources to pre now. The Essence helped with some of the forward presentation I was getting while using all Solo Crystal Oval ics. I think the Essence is a really good cable too. Perfect ic from source components imo. Sound is just more laid back than the AP. I am really itching to hook up the Taras tho and now I'm wondering about the need for a grounding station? Is this gonna be necessary? Also thought about buying the Air 2 ic to go between DAC-1 and TLC-1...

The Discovery Essence is a very good cable. I haven't heard it in many years, but I still recall being amazed at how much better it sounded than an expensive Transparent interconnect that it replaced. Probably about 8-10 years ago. If memory serves me right, I kept it for a year or so, which is a long time in my system. :)

I wouldn't buy another Tara Labs cable until you see what you think of the first one Waxwaves. Don't get caught up in the hype. I've made that mistake myself far too often. If you like the Tara Labs, THEN consider buying another one.

@waxwaves,The Air 1 and Air 2 does not use a grounding station!,the ends of the little jumpers plug into each other,go to the net and read on how to use the cable,the current offerings from tara only has what they call the extreme series cables that use an outboard grounding station,the extreme series cables are,the zero edge,the zero onyx,the zero gold.the model called the one and two and 0.8ex has ism on board,other words,a smaller grounding station made onto the cables them selfs and the jumper cables plug into them selfs on them cables too,only one side of the extreme series cables plug into each other and thats the receiving end of the signal.believe me when I say this!,It matters that you plug the jumper lead wires together on the air 1 cable that you bought!,Its the same on all their cables that have the jumpers!,please feel free to ask questions about these cables,I will help!cheers!

Did you get the cable yet ?
When you do , would you try it between the cd player and pre-amp . I think most systems would allow you to hear more differences in that position.
I know whenever i have tested ics , i was always able to tell a bigger difference between the Source and the Pre.
Differences were not as noticable from pre to amp ,, for me anyway .
Thanks

@ grey9hound,I looked for your cables for sale on the gon but have not seen them so far.cheers!
