Taralabs cables


Hi, I wanted to start a new thread for all the owners of Taralabs cables, Enjoy, and cheers.

The Zero GOLD Gen 2 (G2) w/HFX



One of the most successful audio cables of all time is the original ZERO Gold Interconnect from TARA Labs. The original ZERO Gold was praised for its breakthrough performance. In the Gen 2 design, technology has literally been borrowed from the famous and more expensive ZERO Evolution Interconnect. Available now is the ZERO Gold Generation 2 Interconnect at a lower price with complete flexibility and better performance than the original ZERO Gold. The breakthrough improvements include greater bandwidth and a completely new and proprietary air-dielectric construction. TARA Labs first introduced air dielectric interconnect cables in 1986; 30 years ago. And instead of using round conductors in air-tubes, TARA Labs uses Rectangular Solid Core® (RSC®) conductors which are 'seated' inside small air-tubes™. The new Zero Gold G2 makes full use of this technology.
The new Zero Gold G2 will offer the listener an audio cable that is absolutely fabulous! Extremely low in capacitance at 3 pF, with a sound that can be described as holographic. Exceptional high-frequency extension and detail, expansive soundstage with spatial cues with a bottom end that is rich and full of bloom, in addition to a substantial low noise floor. This interconnect is simply astounding for the price. And for audiophiles who remember the original Zero Gold, the flexibility of the new Zero Gold G2 will simply amaze!
The Zero Prima w/HFX



The Zero Prima is a state-of-the-art analog interconnect cable using an all PTFE (Teflon) air-tube construction and a pair of helixed Rectangular Solid Core conductors. The extended Bandwidth technology is employed using a product design that has a perfect air-dielectric environment and minimal dielectric construction to extend the high-frequency bandwidth to provide a linear and uncompromising approach to the sound of the interface. A complex system of braided shielding made of pure copper and silver is used to control the RF and EMI interference. The shield is part of the ISM Shield System. ISM is the Isolated Shield Matrix, where the shield floats at both ends of the interconnect cable. The shield is connected at the source end, to the HFX Floating Ground Station. The Floating Ground Station uses Ceralex devices internally to absorb and dissipate RF and EMI interference in the shield. This is done outside the signal path, and so the Zero Prima Interconnect with an ‘out-board’ Floating Ground Station does not affect the high-frequency signal within the signal carrying conductors.
The Zero Prima with the Floating Ground Station is designed for component interface of all extreme high-end audio components, but not recommended for electronics that have limited filtering.

Hi Audiolabyrinth.

Between the Tara Labs The 2 XLR and Air Evolution with HFX, which is better and why/how??

Also, there is a quite a big difference in price between the Air Evolution with EVO ground floating station and the Air evolution with HFX?? Is the higher price of the HFX justified??

Among the Tara XLR which do you think is the Best Bang for the buck??

Thx

Hi divinearun,  the Air Evolution with Evolution ground station is a fine choice,  it is better than the two ISM on board,  however,  the two with the HFX grounding station is better than the Air Evolution with EVO,  the HFX grounding station is much bigger, more Ceralex compound,  thus a lower noise floor,  also the HFX grounding station has component grounding,  which further lowers the noise floor,  taralab's has a cable lending program you may check into,  that way you can listen to what's best for your system,  I can give you my opinion if you state what your system consist of,  more less, what you plan on using the interconnect on,  and I will mention that having the matching speaker cable's to your specific interconnect you choose further gives you more of the interconnect's sound you are after,  and much fuller sound,  better sound staging etc...., look forward to helping you here,  cheers 
Hi. They hv the Air evolution with HFX also?? How about that??
Or instead of trying a new interconnect, buying the Muse interface is a better option??
Thx
