Taralabs cables

Jmcgrgan2, I have listen to High-fidelity cables, what is really funny, they do not make a cable in exsistance as good as the model's I have, and the new Zero evolution and Grandmaster Evolution drarfs their entire brand!, and before you ask, YES!, I have listened to all of these cables!

Here is two Tara Labs phono cable's, for all that enjoy vynl playback, these cable's are current production, they are some of the best available at any cost, Zero GX Phono Cable - 5Pin DIN 1.0m



◦Right angle / straight 5 pin DIN / RCA or XLR

The Zero GX Phono-Cable is made using a pair of Rectangular Solid Core® conductors for each channel. These two RSC conductors are combined with a group of eight smaller Teflon® tubes, helixed around a larger Teflon® center tube per channel. The conductors are continuous from end to end, not cut at the Phono-Cable Y junction. The Zero GX Phono-Cable is not a simple twisted pair design with high Capacitance and attenuation of high-frequencies. The design intention is to provide a Phono-Cable with very low Capacitance and extreme high-frequency extension. This may be problematic with some Low-Output Phono-Cartridges. Due to the extremely low Capacitance of this design, the use of the Zero GX Phono-Cable is best used with medium to high output cartridges. Please note that TARA Labs offers high-quality solutions for Low-Output Phono-Cartridges, namely the Zero LX Series of Phono-Cables.

At the Y junction of The Zero GX Phono-Cable, we have invented and arranged a “star-ground” system with a variety of optional male/female mini-banana connections. This system is unrivalled in that it provides the option of floating or connecting different sections of The Zero GX Phono-Cable shielding system.

There are subtle differences to be heard, some of which are caused by slight variations in the shield and grounding arrangements of the cartridge and the tonearm, and the turntable and the phono-preamp.

As we all know, the shield/ground formats in the Phono interface are sometimes different enough to create a hum or buzz problem. With The Zero GX Phono Cables’ proprietary shielding system, we are able to provide a method of optimizing the shield and ground system for the lowest possible noise floor in this critical component interface.

I have owned at least a hundred different speaker cables in the last 40 years, mid-priced from all of the usual suspects, costliest was an MIT at about 1800
THE best one ,that IMO has no faults , at least in the symphonic music that is my fare, is an 8 ft pr of ZU Libtec
that cost me all of $122 dollars, shipped from ZU.

Hi Bonzo75, Welcome to the thread, are you asking if any one has moved from the Tara cobalt to another new model Tara lab's power cord?,from the Cobalt up Their is the Cobalt Reference, Omega Evolution power cord,Grandmaster Evolution power cord, these power cord's are in order starting with the Cobalt to the Grandmaster Evolution, Do you own a Tara Labs cobalt power cord?

Hi Schubert, That depends on what you or some one considers mid-priced speaker cables, In the case of price point you are talking about, yes, I can see how you would think that the new affordable Tara Labs Air Forte speaker cables are exspensive, The Air Forte is a new introduced model that has not been in the market but 5 months, Schubert, their is alot of folks that believe they should never spend big money on cables, I for one use to be one of those people, until I heard what was possible, No, not all cables are worth their asking retail price, most componet's are not worth the asking price to me either, however, this hobby, as we all know is exspensive, In the case of the Tara Labs Air Forte speaker cables, you get more than what you pay for in this price point compaired to other brand speaker cables, that is why I said, This cable is a good bang for the dollar,cheers.
