Got the Luxman L-509X integrated amplifier and tara lab's muse 8ft speaker cable's and interconnect's yesterday, I am also using the furutech gtx-Rhodium duplex receptacle, and tara lab's cobalt power cord, all I can say is WOW!, never have I heard cable's and an amplifier sound phenomenal out the box new!
Taralabs cables
Hi, I wanted to start a new thread for all the owners of Taralabs cables, Enjoy, and cheers.

Hi everyone, just got my hand's' on the Tara Lab's muse speaker cable's and interconnect's, I will be doing a review here of my impression's, along with this I will be reviewing a Luxman L-509X integrated amplifier on magico q3 speaker's, still getting together new digital as well, this is the second system, not my main system, cheers. |

What is the biggest performance upgrade to your system?, power cable's, speaker cable's, interconnect's, digital cable's, phono cable's, earthnet cable's, usb cable's?, list them in order, on my system it was the speaker jumper cable's, then power cable's, interconnect's, speaker cable's, they all were profound improvement's by a large margin, however, I did a/b testing of comparison's, a cable in and out useing other same model cable's, I used a loom of the Tara Lab's The one,, with a loom of the Tara Lab's zero gold balanced interconnect's omega gold speaker cable's, and cobalt power cord. |
Has anyone read the latest stereo net from Australia? https://www.stereo.net.au/news/tara-labs-announces-new-apollo-extreme-cable-series |

The Grandmaster Evolution The new Evolution speaker cable is a stunning achievement, boasting the greatest current-carrying capability of any speaker cable in the world, together with the High Frequency extension and linearity of a 32-gauge conductor. The Evolution Speaker Cable is an all air-dielectric design with 288 Rectangular Solid Core ® conductors per channel. Importantly, the gauge size for each channel is far greater than any speaker cable ever made or ever conceived in history. The gauge size is not 10, or 6, or 4, or even 0. The gage size for an Evolution Speaker Cable is 000, that's an area of 85,000 square millimeters per channel. • BSM (with 1/4"or 5/16" Spades or Bananas) |
Hi hic, The hfx grounding station's are larger with more cerelex compound inside than the orignal grounding station's you once owned year's ago, it is also important to use the supplied tiny banana jumper cable's that connect to the cable and hfx grounding station, never run a grounding station directly to the interconect, you will loose body and sound stage size, dimensionality as well, so the answer to your question is no, the orignal the one with the orignal grounding station's are not as good sounding, but still very good compared to other similar priced cable's. Cheers. |

@audiolabyrinth Hi, For as long as I can remember. I do recall going down the Audioquest/ Cardas route about 12 years ago but eventually came back to Tara Labs. I just believe they get it right and provide more musically by adding nothing to the recording if that makes any sense. I find them to just be a natural cable that doesn't add any color to the music recording. -Cheers |
Making Sense of … Standard and SP version Speaker Cables At TARA Labs, the major design goal for speaker cables is to reduce the inductance in the cable. However, there are some high-end amplifiers that need to 'see' some level of inductance (L) in the speaker cable. When the low damping factor of certain amplifiers is connected with (ultra-low inductance) TARA Labs speaker cables, the output of some high-end loudspeakers becomes audibly variable at different frequencies. The phenomenon is readily apparent, heard as bass that is soft and low in amplitude, sometimes together with high frequencies that are too smooth or rolled-off. Basically, the resistance in the loudspeaker cable should be ultra-low, and the inductance (L) in the cable needs to be low but sufficient to provide a load to certain amplifiers. There is no ideal value for (L). It varies from system to system, just as impedance varies with frequency in most loudspeakers. The loudspeaker cables carry much higher signal voltage and current into a non-linear impedance (the loudspeaker) ... so the reactive load of the loudspeaker can be difficult for some amplifiers to drive... and the all-important damping factor of the amplifier changes from amplifier to amplifier. One of the great attributes of TARA labs high-end Speaker Cables is their ultra-low inductance. These Speaker Cables are the 'state-of-the-art' in both technology and design from TARA Labs. Its performance level is absolutely spectacular when matched with the majority of high-end audio components available today. And as with an ever increasing introduction of new components into the marketplace, we have found over and over again that not every cable or component has the perfect symbiotic relationship with each other. In these particular instances, there are some amplifiers that need to 'see' some level of inductance (L) in the speaker cable. For certain loudspeakers and amplifiers, these cables are designed to work exceptionally well with amplifiers with a low damping factor or loudspeakers with a very reactive load in the lower frequencies. In addition to inductance, TARA Labs SP model speaker cables are also designed for audio systems that are inherently bright or strident in their sound. They offer a controlled bandwidth by being more forgiving with glare or stridency.

The Omega™ Evolution The Omega Evolution has now become one of TARA Labs ultimate speaker cables. The Omega Evolution is just one step below the Grandmaster Evolution speaker cables. The RSC conductors are insulated with a fine layer of aerospace polyethylene, a very neutral material with almost no audible effect. The Omega Evolution delivers lifelike, almost holographic sound, pin-point imaging and clear resolution of fine detail with extreme ease. What you will hear is an accurate harmonic structure extending upwards with the finest and most delicate of high frequencies. This will be contrasted with a vanishingly low noise floor. The reproduction of the recorded space can only be described as holographic. The qualities of a reverberation and ambient retrieval are simply astonishing. The Omega Evolution has a level of performance that is beyond comparison to any other speaker cable in the world with the obvious exception of the Grandmaster Evolution.
