Tara Labs The One SC and Avalon Speaker

@ 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!

A friend of mine had a small concert room for about 60 people with a Steinway wing. Here I learned how small and direct voices and instruments sounds in real. I loved the intimate sound. Like the music is so much closer to you. I hope to do more audio shows in the future. So I can let people hear 3 dimensional sound with a very touchable image and black to die for. Many people make the same faults. Wenn you don't know, you do not understand what is wrong. Wenn the image is more intimate, music becomes also more emotional. That is why I say: wenn instruments and voices are played too big the distance between you and the music becomes bigger. So there will be less emotion and invlovement.
