Audioqest Wild Wood or Tara Lab Omega Gold?

Hi Lafolia,

Is there any reason you are comparing Tara Omega Gold with AQ Wildwood? The AQ WEL Signature would seem to be a more natural comparison.

Audiolabyrinth,

Unless I'm mistaken, Tara doesn't use silver in any of they're cables. Do you know why that is? It seems like most high end cable companies offer something in silver. I've always wondered why Tara doesn't.

Hi zd542, as a matter of fact, taralabs does make a interconnect with pure silver shielding, it's the model called, the three, by the way, the Omega gold speaker cable's do sound natural, audioquest does not make a cable to this caliber of performance.

Labyrinth:

"...the Omega gold speaker cable's do sound natural, audioquest does not make a cable to this caliber of performance..."

It's one thing to strongly prefer another brand and model of cables but I feel your attempt at a definitive statement is not based upon enough listening to higher-end AQ cables in all probability (or you simply prefer Tara) and is therefore not correct. In truth, AQ WEL Signature and 1 other (IMHO) upper line of their cables (at least) do perform at that level of performance, you simply prefer the sound of another brand....as do I, for the record, but I don't bludgeon other brands based upon a listening opinion. Again, for the record, I've got a lot of pairs of AQ and Tara in my past ownership history with very good results and even more from an extended demo point of view...

Hi zephyr24069, I'm sorry you didn't realize I have listened to many audioquest cable's over the last 15 year's, however, your correct, I do prefer taralabs, and essentially, as far as other brand's go, there isn't likely but 4 cable's that I'm aware of that can beat the Omega gold,and definitely know the new Evolution omega and Grandmaster speaker cable's are today's best available,I welcome you to audition these two model's and tell us your opinion, happy listening.
