Taralabs cables

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.

Oh boy, another one who thinks I do not hear what I have listened too!,or, that I have listened to what I have had in my home to audition, really!, I do not owe you an explanation!

Audiolabyrinth,

I am using the Taralabs zero gold ic between my Kondo m1000 preamp and dedicated Genesis 1.1 woofer amps. These amps are only being used to power the G 1.1 woofer towers. You can find my system listed on the whatsbestforum, more specific in the two threads that I started there regarding the Tripoint Troy signature and recently the Tripoint emperor. The latter is a state of the art 'grounding device'. As mentioned, you can find my comments on the whatsbestforum where I also sfarted some time ago a thread regarding the Taralabs grandmaster evolution ic's and loudspeaker cables.

This is the only interconnect that has the new Tara Lab's Generation 3 conductor's, A new design that surpasses past attempt's of conductor design from Tara Labs, The Grand Master Evolution extended band-width interconnect w/ duel mono block HFX ground station 1.0m/3.3ft



The Grandmaster Evolution Series from TARA Labs is truly beyond belief. It is quite simply the new watershed in the art and science of audio cable design. The Evolution Series is in a class of its own, beyond all other audio cable products in the history of the audio industry worldwide.

The Grandmaster Evolution Interconnect uses the same multi-lumen air-tube concept invented by TARA Labs as used in the ZERO Interconnects and the AIR Series Interconnects originally developed in 1986. However, the Evolution Interconnect is remarkably flexible.

The Evolution Interconnect uses the same displaced and Floating Shield design together with a new Dual Mono-Block HFX Ground system with greater absorption of RF/EMI and a vanishingly low background noise.

Incredibly, the new Grandmaster Evolution Interconnect boasts a remarkably low capacitance figure of just 2 pF per foot. This means that the new Evolution has a High Frequency bandwidth that is more than 300% greater than any other high-end cable in the world.
•The most advanced air-tube technology and design
•All new proprietary "dual mono-block" floating ground station (HFX) and floating shield system
•Controlled spacing of conductor to conductor geometry, produces record low interconnect capacitance of a mere 2 pf (picofarads)
•Additionally the conductor to shield capacitance is remarkably low so the EMI/RFI coupling from the shield to conductors is negated
•The outer shield is expanded and spaced away from the conductors to such a degree that the background noise is at an all-time low
•Two layers of anti-corrosion coated SAOF-8N copper shield
•Compared to the Zero Evolution, The Grandmaster Evolution has a larger, more complex system of Teflon and Aero-PE filaments that ensure a complete air dielectric system.
•The most revealing and lifelike presentation possible
•Compared to the Zero Evolution, The Grandmaster Evolution has a high-frequency bandwidth that is 50% greater, with a stunning low level of background noise contrasted with more image outlines and fine detail
•Revolutionary liquid micro-film (LMF) dielectric ensures a linear transfer of low-level ambient and spatial information
