Tara Labs The One SC and Avalon Speaker

@ Brownsfan, Hi, I have been told alot of great feedbacks on the VH Audio products, One of my ag mamber friends recommended them!, I have never listened to their products, However, I told him recently That I just bought the Taralabs cobalt power cord with the up-graded factory oyaide plugs, He said, man, you do not wast no time with other cables do you?, you went straight to the top!, my only response was, I hate loosing money selling what I do not want!, why not get the power cord that is suppose to be one of the best available today?, He agreed!,, about the op here, his avalon speakers are pricey!, The Taralabs the one speaker cables are resolving warm sounding cables, very well balanced, real good sound stage to them, yes they are a little pricey cables, my story above is in relation to the op!, why wast time on inferrior cheaper cables only to have to go thru the hassels of selling them and loosing money!, get whats very good the first time, that way you may live with them a few years, till you move up the Taralabs cable food chain, and thats if you feel that there is a need!,, cheers!

@ Brownsfan, I took a peek at the VH Audio site!, I liked what I saw!, Congrats on a very good choice on the sine a/c power cord, I believe it may be the best $800.00 6ft retail power cord in the market place!, great company to boot!,,, cheers!

@ Mm662, Hi, Where are you?, Are you going to go for the Taralabs The one speaker cables?,, Cheers!

I sold Avalon for over 6 years. One thing I know 100% sure. MIT never will be the best option. Why? Very simple: Avalon and MIT both give a wide and deep stage. But both lack individual focus of instruments and voices. I recently sold an Oak from Audioquest to a client with Avalon. It was the best and first time I listend to a Avalon with a very good individual focus of instruments and voices. And the stage is still very deep and wide. Instruments and voices are very small and direct to point out. This you need for a good balanced sound in your set. The most common problem is that voices and instruments are played too big in proportion. Many cables have this irritating flaw.

Funny you say that Bo1972! A friend of mine has the Avalons (I cant remember which model) and though the sound was good I always thought the image sizes were all wrong. The vocals sounded like it was coming from a giant's mouth!
