Hi,
Silly question and am embarrassed to ask, but what does "TL" mean?
Silly question and am embarrassed to ask, but what does "TL" mean?
Are audiophiles still out of their minds?
I've been in this hobby for 30 years and owned many gears throughout the years, but never that many cables. I know cables can make a difference in sound quality of your system, but never dramatic like changing speakers, amplifiers, or even more importantly room treatment. Yes, I've evaluated many vaunted cables at dealers and at home over the years, but never heard dramatic effect that I would plunk $5000 for a cable. The most I've ever spent was $2700 for pair of speaker cables, and I kinda regret it to this day. So when I see cable manufacturers charging 5 figures for their latest and "greatest" speaker cables, PC, and ICs, I have to ask myself who buys this stuff. Why would you buy a $10k+ cable, when there are so many great speakers, amplifiers, DACs for that kind of money, or room treatment that would have greater effect on your systems sound? May be I'm getting ornery with age, like the water boy says in Adam Sandler's movie.

Silly question and am embarrassed to ask, but what does "TL" mean?The reference to TL in the post you are referring to means "TARA Labs." Not a silly question, though. Regards, -- Al |
TL is a reference to Tara Labs I believe. When people read or hear teh words of others, its always a judgement call. People's perceptions matter and do not always match the facts even if the facts are made clearly available. Its just the way things are and good for one to be aware of as opposed to banking on facts alone. |
