Have problem choosing cables XLO or Tara Labs ??

You may be focusing in the wrong area...
Have you experimented at all with upgrade AC cords? Every cord sounds different & even behaves differently on different components. Also experiment with isolation & coupling tweaks (cones, shelving, footers). You can do your tuning in different ways & if changes in interconnects don't help then perhaps it's time to try out something different. Line conditioning is another gray area in that respect.

I have achieved to the best I can do with isolations and power cords. I tried 6 different materials for isolation and a total of 6 power cords.

Isolation I tried:

Isolation Bearings
**Isolation Cone (Alluminum)(Currently using, Best Result)
(Thin down the boomy bass, better focus & accuracy but thinner mid)
**Isolation Cone (Solid Rosewood) (Unbeatable Mid, boomy bass)
**Isolation Platform (Air Pump) (Lowered in accuracy & resolution)
**Isolation Platform (Solid Wood) (No improvement)
**Isolation Stand (Standesign) (Better accuracy & focus)
Isolation Shelf (QS&D) (No improvement)

Power Cords I tried:
**Virtual Dynamics Power 3 (Hi-Freq Roll Off, tight bass)
**XLO Reference 10a (Good silky tuby mid, better hi-freq definition) (Currently Using)
**TekLine PC-8 Signature (Damping factor is high, sound too solid)
**XLO PL1000 (Better bass response than 10a but instructment seperation is not as good)
**NBS DragonFly (No Improvement)
**PS Audio Ultimate Lab (The best, but should use it with the player, double it's cost and eff. ratio not as proportional as XLO 10a)

I have a vpi db-10 on top, it damps it a bit, more seperation and more involving after it was placed.

I currently switch from MIT-MI350 to Van Den Hul, I think the Ind. of MIT doesnt really match, MIT should sound like that but it's now ok with the Van Den HUl. Can be faster and more accurate therefore hunting for XLO & Tara Labs... Advices are greatly welcome!

I always try cheap tweaks with iso. and pc. before I goto an expensive IC upgrade. I have many many toys to play with, and by the way, a lot of them are unuse, s I will be happy to try them out and use them if I could, before I buy any $500 IC.

People please give advice ~! I need to order my cable ~! PLEASE HELP

I switched to XLO Ref 2 Interconnects and Type 5, I beleive it was in my system, I was using Tara labs and Audioquest. But found the XLo was as fast as the Audioquest and but with the Warmth of the Tara. Hope that helps,
