Tara labs,onyx interconnect

@misternice , why did you put your Tara Labs Zero Onyx up for sale?
Did you find something better?

Thanks Misternice, It's not everyday that someone is happy with a sound, most audiophiles are addicted to buying something else chaseing the grail of audio!, Bravo to you Bob, you have an excellent cable!

Hi,sorry ,id forgotten all about this thread.Im very happy with the onyx, thanks,It does all I require in a interconnect,transparency,air,sounstage ,the tara house sound in spades if you like.Id love to compliment it one day with the omega speaker cable,like yours,but that's another story

BoB, where you at, this is your thread.

@ Misternice, It's been a year, what do think of The Tara Labs Onyx interconnect now?, Do you still have it?

Hi Bob, I got the Krell amp back, I have to buy another source, I do not have one at the moment, Going to get another vincent cds7 player, that was a very good musical player!, the funny thing is, it sounds alot better than the players that I have owned that costed three to four times the money,LOL!, I will be getting it together soon enough, I will keep the vincent untill I can or find or listen to something better, most digital so far is crap out there, the ones they say are good are not!, then the ones no one knows about, or even cares about because its not some pedigree brand player sounds hugely better!, cheers.

Hi there keith,everything is good here.The new place im staying has a good size lounge to set up my stereo,and it sounds excellent.The onyx really is a good cable.Funny enough,I've gone from tara master gen2,to gen 1,on the cd player,I found 2 to be too bright in my system.Im happy enough with the kef ls50 monitors.So in time I'll play around a bit more and fine tune the power cables,and I'll be happy as,I think,add a sub.How's your system coming along.

Hi misternice, sorry it took so long to get back to you, I am happy you like the cd, does it sound magical on your Tara onyx I/C ???, It should, the recording is good to my ears as it is to yours?, cheers.

Hi there keith,the cd arrived thanks.It is my type of music and a excellent recording thankyou.

Hi Misternice, Your best cable should be between the pre-amp and the amp, the one would be good between the cd and pre, That surely would save alot of money, the one is a bench mark cable, of course, if you went further up the cable food chain, you would yield better results, really, the one is great for digital to your pre, thats what I would recommend, you got the idea already, go for it, cheers.

Yes,do you have any recommendations on a inter between cd and pre.Maybe tara labs the one.Im happy where the onyx is.cheers

Ok Misternice, let me know when you do get the cd, and your impressions of the recording quality, and if you like the music as well, Happy listening.

Hi there,how's things.Its good to hear the cd arrived,your one isn't here yet.Im currently looking for a new room,so we'll see how the stereo shapes up there,if I can use it at all,for different reasons.I put a old power cord I had on the cd player,which is much warmer and better bass,less bright,so im looking forward to hearing the sound there,when I can,then let you know.bye for now.

@ misternice, Hi, I recieved the cd you sent us today 9-19-13, thankyou, I have not had the chance to listen to it yet, how does the onyx interconnect sound now?, If you have alot of playing time on the interconnect all this time since you got it, The cable should sound to its fullest potential., cheers.

@ Misternice, Hi, Let me know when you recieve your cd I sent you, cheers.

Hi Misternice, I Indeed got your cd off for you, Really would like your impressions of it and the sound quality as well, cheers.

Hi budburma,thankyou there,gabriel gold has some good reviews.I'll have to keep a eye open.And keep reading,cheers.

Oops, wrong thread

This is posted tonight while listening. "The Tony Bennett and Bill Evans Album" (and) "tony bennett & bill evans" I don't know why Tony got top billing on both.

Hi Budburma, How much do the Gabriel gold cables cost?, do they have gold conductors, Is it possible you can post a link to the model you are refering to here so I may study what you are presenting?, Thankyou.

Buy some gabriel gold cables.....Having tried The One, I can only say, it is no longer in my system I kept some Tara labs HDMI's in my Video system, but don't really listen critically there.

Thankyou misternice, we are very grateful, I sent you another E-mail, I can send you a cd if you like, its more listenable, its blues and new age music, a burned cd, it turned out to sound good for a high-end system, if you want it its yours, we have the orginal, so its no problem, cheers.

Yes,cheers,I'll get the cd off to you asap.I hope you like it.

@ Misternice, well my E-mail did not send to the adresse you provided, I am going to send you an E-mail to your audiogon E-mail site, please check there, I am sure you will recieve that mail, thankyou, cheers.

@ Misternice, Hi, I sent a E -mail to your personal addresse, Please tell me if you recieved it, sorry It took me so long to reply, I have been busy working and talking to members on the phone, thankyou, cheers.

Great,my email is quecroad@gmail.com.

Hi Misternice, I will take the new Halestorm cd if you do not want it!, The wife would be thrilled to own that, she is a big fan!

Great thanks keith.The cds arrived today,I have to be honest,its not really me,I must be showing my age.I bet they are way better live,anyway we are all different in tastes.I'll give them to some friends,at work,hopefully they'll return the good will,if not, no worries eh.

Hi Misternice, Thanks for the hospiltality, Your player sounds like a winner, atleast somebody out there is happy with their digital,I do not know if Halestorm will make it back here, this is the only time they have ever come here to play,,, I will be letting you know what I think of the sound to the cabolt power cord,,cheers.

Good stuff keith,the concert would be worth seeing I recon.But they will come back again.?I have a budget cd player,and Im happy with it.Its a mhzs cd88 h,with bugle boy tubes,and a magnan signature power cord.All up it owes me a k,its good performance per dollar.I'll stick with it. Let me know about the cobalt in time please keith.I've heard jps aluminater and stealth v12 are excellent power cords.But that's another story,have a good weekend there keith and family.

Hi Misternice, I have not got to hear the cabolt power cable yet, my componets are at the factories, the digital player broke, Its fixed, I just have to pay the bill, and the amp renewl is almost payed off, then I will have to re break in all the cables and componets!, the amp alone will take 600 hours!, starting in november, by 4 to 6 months, everything should sound the best I ever owned!, then I will be tunning the digital player with some cones I recently bought, and installing different speaker spikes on my speakers, my sound should turn out to far exceed the sound we are use to listening to, so, is the new Hale storm cd that I have not listened to but a couple of singles of sound as good as the original Hale storm cd?, they are coming in concert here in october, the wife really wants to go!, we may go, depends on money, we have been paying so much for this audio that we are broke and sick and tired of doing so!, when we get everything back, we are going to listen for a while till some time in spring, and start auditioning new digital players,, cheers.

The strange case of,and halestorm.I see there is some nice tara labs for sale on audiogon,Im saving,so it counts me out.How good is the cobalt power cord keith,?

which Halestorm cds did you get?

Hi there,a couple of halestorm cds and one from massive attack,(greatest hits).I hope the audio store comes through for you.Oh well,I better get up and go to work,have a good day.

@ Misternice, Hi great to hear from you, thankyou for the hope, I am still going thru issues with a audio store!, what cds did you order?

Hi there keith,not alot happening here mate,busy working.I haven't noticed any changes in the cable yet.Iam moving soon, so room dynamics will change the sound,,Im hoping that will be change for the better.Those cds,should arrive soon,so Im looking forward to those.Hope all is well your side of the world.

@ Misternice, Hi, wanted to check with you, Has your cable improved?, what have you been up to?

thankyou.

Cheers.Yes back today.All the mids are faster,(listening now.)Oh I forgot,in time I will go for better recordings,I forgot to answer your question.

Hi misternice, good to see you back, I enjoy talking to you, your cable will even get better than what you hear now, 300 hundred hours to 500 hours for total settlement, I am happy to know you are enjoying what you have spent your hard earned cash on!, Happy Listening.

Hi there,playing the doors,I was hearing, whole guitar rifts,I never new excisted.Like alot of people,probably herd it hundreds of times,but there it was,clear as day,another guitarist.The highs were faster,from memory,more upper bass notes,drums etc.Its been a week since I herd it,but things are coming along just fine,for now.

@ misternice, thats cool.

Hi there keith,I'll get back to you tomorrow.Been on holiday,for a few days now,and been in and out of range with the internet.cheers.

@ misternice, what are your impresseions thus far with the onyx before it burns all the way in?,, Happy listening.

Misternice, Hi, I do go for better recordings, I just started building this system from the ground up, that includes the very few cds I have, I do not have gold ones yet, I never have had one, what are the benefits of that kind of cd?, I am satiesfied that you are enjoying the Taralabs onyx cable, it will get better over time. cheers mate.

Hi,I was playing some music last nite,and im almost hearing a different cd,lots of stuff iv never herd before,and some stuff faster,the way I like it.This cable is a keeper,i will add another interconnect ,another day to compliment the onyx,but not to replace,it.Some of my cds ,i could do with better recordings.How about you keith,do you go for gold cds or better recordings.? Cheers

Misternice, whats up with the cables sound now?

@ Glory, Ok, whats your point?, this thread has been running very good, enjoyable conversations here, this thread is over when we want it to be!

Misternice, I do not believe the Thales is good as what you bought!, waite till the run in time is up!,I am happy that you like it so far, it gets better as time gos by, thats were I use my cable, between the source, which is my pre, to my amp, Happy listening, keep me posted, cheers.

Thales,good stuff mate,it would be nice hearing it one day.In another system,I listened to lfd reference silver for 5 minutes,that was a good cable,i thought.There would be some very fine cables around the would being made,no doubt.This cable,the onyx,should keep me happy for a few years,I like tara labs between pre and amp,cheers.
