Taralabs cables

Hi dlcockrum,  The Master Gen II is constructed from RSC (rectangular solid core) conductors, each conductor is insulated w/ TARA’s proprietary Aero-PE. Several of these thin gauge RSC conductors are helixed around an air tube.There is a thin wire about 3 inches long that comes out from the source-end RCA connectors. One of these wires has a female connection & the other a male. Once the interconnect is inserted into the source electronics back panel, the user is to connect these 2 wires together. What this basically does is that it creates the same ground potential for both the L & R channels i.e. it creates a common-mode ground voltage. The ground voltage is, of course, obtained from the preamp. However, if there is any disturbance on the ground voltage (called “ground bounce”) this disturbance is seen by both L & R channels so it appears as a common-mode potential to which the electronics has a high attenuation factor. 

Thanks for the extended explanation audiolabyrinth. You remind me, well, of me. lol

I thought as much re: the "thin wire about 3 inches long". My Ayre preamp’s L &R outputs are on the exact opposite end of the back panel, so I had to "rig" a small-gauge generic wire connecting the two leads. Okay?

The OCD side of me, although partially defeated over the years, wants me to worry about existing ruptures of the delicate-sounding conductors in the cable. But they sound GREAT, so I am choosing not to worry (or, at least, to make the attempt).

Best to you audiolabyrinth,

Dlcockrum, your cable's have a lifetime warranty,  also,  there has never been any reports of any rupture's of conductor's that I know of in taralab's history 😎

Thanks.  Now I can relax and enjoy the music.

Read where you plan to try Cerious GE?

Best to you audiolabyrinth,

Dlcockrum, I will always have taralabs cable’s, taralab’s is on my reference system, I’m interested in cerious technologies graphene cable’s for my budget system, although when I do pull the trigger on the cerious Ge , I will compare them to my cable’s, which to be honest with you would be like comparing a Volkswagen to a Maserati, or Ferrari, lol!, I have the taralab’s zero gold interconnect and Omega gold speaker cable’s, cobalt power cord , when I bought these cable’s, they were the best of taralab’s, then the very next year, taralab’s introduced for the first time in years , a new flagship cable 🤗
