@ grey9hound, Already?, I was only proposing a switch of your speaker cables for temporary fun!, It does not matter to me how you choose to run your cables,thats your system!, It will take more than an hour to settle in, a couple days playing the switcher -Roo never hurt any thing!, cheers! |
@ jmcgrogan2, The Tara the 2 was a bad choice for your experiment!, should have done another, the one i/c or the 0.8Ex !!,, Taras cable loom works best if you have all the same model like I do and waxwaves does!, my recent experiment with cables post revealed those findings!, remember, I switched the cables around for temporary fun!,, cheers! |
@ jmcgrogan2, what do you mean I do not have the zero thru out, I do!, the omega gold speaker cables are the matching cables for the zero gold I/C, I'm done!, I only use one i/c and 1 pair of speaker cables, thats the beauty of it all!, yes, I do not have the matching a/c power cord yet, which is the Tara cabolt a/c power cord, I assure you it is coming home!, other than that, this is a full loom!,, ok john, thanks for being up-front with me, you are right!, you like what you like, I am sorry,you know me by now! I always get excited!, I use all my experience to help people the best I can!, you are correct!, that seems to not always work I see!, I have tried so many cables out there and listened to a ton of them!, I will say that Taralabs is most defiantly one of a hand full of brands out there that is the best available!, you would have to prove to me other wise!, so many have tried!, with no success!,, cheers! |
@ jmcgrogan2, I agree with you totally, There is no best cable, I do think there is a small group of particular brands that is the best to me!, purist audio is in that group too!I do not take Taralabs full loom not satiesfying you personal john, and yes, we all know that all cables,models, are all about synergy,,, some people find a great synergy!, I did'nt realize how blessed those people may be!,, It does seem dificult to get ones sound to be outstanding for all that hears it,LOL!,, especially for yourself!, that might be the o.c.d. that resides in all of us!, my biggest caveat is that this hobby cost so damn much!,you may have more since than me john!, I live and breath high end audio!, atleast you have family balance of your sons, you know, the graduation and all,, your hobby does not suck all your money like mine does, I know its my own fault!, and my decision!, Its the only way I can build a world class system!, then when I am done, I will take a break!, and just enjoy the music for a while!,,,, Happy listening! |
@ TbG,, Wow!, you spoke wise words here, The still points, and the model ultra ss is exactly whats on my speakers!, $2,000.00 for 8 of them puppys!,, and I see you believe in tunning as I do!, Bravo TbG!, I always have stated you have my respect!,, I feel, If you achieve an unbelievable sound, and the sound is shockingly good to all that hears the system, why keep chassing the holy grail of audio when you have it!, may not be the best!, If it makes you extreamly happy, why indulge yourself and mess the sound up!,, cheers! |
@ jmcgrogan2, We all know we love this hobby, I do not believe I will spend thousands of dollars all my life on one audio system!, LOL!,mmm, maybe a little on a purposely cheaper system 2, or system 3,LOL!, a system 2 is good enough!, I was into smartphones not long ago, I had to have the best always, recently, I looked at my phone and said,still works very fast!, great pics,internet works fine,does more than I need!, I'm done!, so at the end of the day, I realized I do not need to keep up-gading consistently!, cheers! |
@ Davea33, Hi, What is a crl-fim interconnect?, Thanks! |
@ jmcgrogan2, whats uppppp!, I just sold my 1973 pioneer cs-901 vintage horn speakers!, thats ok, I have a pair of infinity RS-1 book shelf speakers that sound impressive for what they are!, very solid build and the timberal accuracy is uncanny for such a micro pair of speakers!, cheers! |
@ Hessec, Hi?, whats up?, what inthe world are you talking about!, I have a pair of bookshelf speakers that are the infinity Rs-1 I have not used in two years!, I have the legendary JBL L7 tower speakers with stillpoints ss fotters x 8!, Taralabs omega gold speaker cables on them speakers!, Then I have a Krell 700cx amplifier that was $14,000.00 new!, the amp has been fuctional this whole time!, over the last 2 weeks, the left channel started getting alot hotter on loud volumes!, again, this just started happening!Oh, and yes, the mighty Taralabs zero gold interconnect I own, very profound these cables are! My amp plays right now!, I also have an ayon cd-2s tube player hooked direct to my amplifier!,, now, with all thaT SAID!, You really stuck your foot in your mouth!, you know nothing of whats said here, I bet you in no way have a system the caliber of mine!, I have nearly $60,000.00 k in mine! LOL!,, what do you have! LOL! Ha,Ha,Ha!, something else you are not aware of! ask all these fellas here if I know Taralabs products!, There is a couple of us and including my self that has bought Tara products since the eightys!, I live and breath High-end Audio and Taralabs cables!, If you have A question I can help you with, I will do my best!,, My experience in audio is 33 years, I do not believe you were aware of that!,LOL!, does not mean I know everything!, who does?,Thats real bad when someone misconstudes what has been dicussed in a thread and make a comment that is not warranted or necessary LOL!,,You have a good day sir! |
@ davea33, Thankyou for your info, that was really well written!, I have recently learned of the dude pre-amps!, I have talked to a few members about that pre-amp, They swear by it!, said its better than eanything audio research has period!, that was shocking to be told that!can you elaborate more on that pre-amp?, Is it a tube pre?,, come to think of it, these members said that pre-amp was the best available!,, yes, these members have been members here for a very,very long time!, and have vast exsperience!, so, I would say your pre-amp based on whats been told to me is a state of the art pre!,, cheers! |
|
@ Grey9hound, Thankyou so much for your reaction post that Hessec posted, I was bewildered of the whole post he posted!,, I have had alot going on, I apologize for not getting to your answer of the cds,,I like the Lee Ritennour 6-string theory, Goverment mule-high and mighty year, 2006,,John Fogerty- blue moon swamp,,Santana Brothers,,April Wine-clasic masters,,Cool Blues-Denis Mix,,Dave Grusin & Lee Ritenour-Harlequin,,Dennis, I have not got to listen to all of the cds yet, I am in the process of tring to get alot of money coming my way that is owed to me, may take a couple of months to receive the money, I am fighting for another 4 to 6 thousand dollars that I can use for my system so john will not make fun of me for my stock a/c power cord that is temporary!, Just kidding john!, I am over whelmed at the process the state and fed-goverment puts me thru to get my money!, the good news, I will be getting the money!, late summer or the end of summer.,,I like the cds you sent me, That was an over the top very nice thing you did for me, Thankyou so much!,, Cheers! |
@ waxwaves, I am happy you got the Black Diamond Racing isolation cones!, I never owned none, but do have experience with them!, they are very good!I have listened to all their models with great satiesfaction!,, the cool thing is, If you put some cones under your digital player, you can tune!, dial in a great sound, simply by moving the cones around under the player and experimenting by doing so!, the sound will change to better,worse, awsome, etc..,, you will see what I am talking about!, just do'nt put them under the player and leave them!, move them around!, you will be stunned!BTW, Taralabs is aware of all of us that like the Taralabs products now!, all the way to the presadent of the company!, you know, this thread and the other one, I do not know if they read them yet, I believe they will!, I did not come out and tell them!, word by mouth has made all of us famous with their company!,,Happy listening! |

@ grey9hound, @ waxwaves,, Here we go, I am puting in this morning Grey9hounds cd,1995 Blues guitar virtuso!, LOL! has a great title, so lets give er a spinn!,, happy listening! |
@ Hessec, Ok, lets be clear here, What do you have for a system!, Be honest! Do not fabricate a dream system you do not own!, why do you blast me?, I have done nothing to you!, I do not know you sir!, needless to say, I take alot of pride in building a system different than the common audiophile!,thats what puts my sound in a world class venue!, I have never had one listen to what I currently own and not be shocked!, experienced audiophile or not!, yes, I do not own the best!, to me, I love what I have!, so why does it matter to you what I own?, or say?, Bye! |
@ pops, Thankyou very much for your response to Hessecs last post!, I am perplexed with his comments? yes, pops, It is indeed a turn-off!This is the same reasons my friend in LA, california will not post a conversation with nobody!, He has $50,000.00 a componet Lamm products!I am A hermit allready! I will not hesatate to say bye all together!, I enjoy all of you here!all of you are quite special to me!, you know who you are! |
@ Hessec, Thankyou!,, However, you are most welcome here to dicusse Audio in a civil manner!, I love to learn!, And you may have knowledge to benefit us all here, you do not need to go, tell us some of your opinions here without being so negative to a member!, cheers! |
@ hessec, you may at bash all the equipment we all have at will, just not members would be grand of you!, like I said, now that insaneness is over, I am currious to talk with you!, tell us some of the equipment you really enjoy!, thats what audio is about, enjoyment, do you agree?,, Happy listening! |
@ Davea33, thankyou for you response, thanks for your heads up for grey9hound, he is looking for such a sound!, Great dynamics and bass slam!, sounds good to me! |
@ hessec, believe me, LOL!, I have run these poor fellas in the ground about the performance of the cables I have! quite frankly, they do not want to hear anymore of my raving, LOL!, thats why i do not discusse with them the performace values I hear, They are sick of it, LoL!, you are really late to the party!,,we all here talk on another thread called, the one versus the 0.8EX thread mostly!, there I will make you sick with performance of the cables I do have!, they are a different animal of cables you said you owned in the tara family!, regardless, they do share a little of the house sound together!,, cheers! |
|
The Blues virtoso was cool! |
@ Waxwaves, Thankyou Adam for coming to my defence here, I do not know Hessecs motive!, whatever, He said goodbye, I believe! you would be supprised that alot of people would make claims based on there experience with a lessor model I/C or speaker cables,, then believe the top two models of the line of a cable company they are reffering to will have the same outcome!, 9 times out of 10 the best two models of a cable company are indeed a different animal of cables all together!, A different league!,,I agree!, The Taralabs zero gold,, omega gold are some of the best available today!, cheers! |
@ Tbg, I have some gold plated xlr to rca connectors coming!, when the new best High-fidelity cable comes out, guess where it is coming to?, me!, I am going to rent the i/c from the cable co,, and direct compaire this cable to the Tara zero gold!,, The good news is that no cable could compete in performance to the zero gold for 14 years!, untill now!, I believe the High-fidelity cables are great!,, The bad news is Taralabs will once again out perform the competition with the new awaited flagship cable coming this november-janurary!, three or four new cables will be introduced!, In 1999 when the zero gold was introduced it took 14 years for the competition to compete!,, with the new top of the line cable that will be better than my zero gold,, once again, Taralabs will send ripples of rage for their product thru out the High-end industry!,, most likly another 10 to 14 years again before the competition can compete!,,, cheers! |
@ grey9hound, I was wondering who the artist was!on the blues virtuoso!,,, the High-fidelity cable TBG has is the ultimates,, the second from the top of the line cable they offer,, they have another cable that should be available eany day now,, that is the top of the line cable from High-fidelity,, these cables really are excellent cables!, they are real world priced and do out perform nearly all of the competition currently,, Tbg has an excellent choice of cables, you really cannot go wrong with high-fidelity cables!,, the price you found at the cable company site is for the new top of the line cable from High-fidelity, nobody has the cable yet that I am Aware of!, Its coming!,I called the cable company and tried to get the cable for rent!, that would be a more fair comparison to the zero gold I/c,, the lessor models the cable company said, don't bother with compairing them to my zero gold i/c, but I do suspect this new cable may out perform the zero gold!, we'll see, won't we!,, cheers! |
@ grey9hound, yes you did!,,LOL! all this and that going on, I did not realize that untill you said so!, I guess thats crazy!, my bad., Its a cool cd!,, cheers! |
I can tell you both, grey9hound, waxwaves, you guys will be hard pressed to find a better sounding cable that yall have at the pricepoint the both of you paid!!!, A nice cable indeed!,, congrats to the both of you!,, my first taras was no where as good as what the both of you have!, so yes, a good glimpse of the better cables by anybody!,, Happy listening! |
@ grey9hound,, I made a mistake!, The ultimates are the top of the line cable from High-fidelity!, A couple weeks ago the cable company said they were not available yet!, If TBG has a pair, I assume they are available now!,, cheers! |
@ TBG,Please excuse my clerical errors when I talk here,,,Your last post caught my attension!,, TBG,, You are a self made Expert!,,Your vast years of knowledge is well known thru-out the Audiogon!, It took you years of trial and error to know what may work for you and what may not work for you!,based on this exsperience, you may or may not give your educated recommendations to others!, I say educated based on the facts of learning by trial and error!,, now that said,, since you do have more exsperience in certain aspects of the high-end audio field than the common audiophile and based on your age!, well, believe it are not, you are a self made Expert!,, you may not flaunt it, or say nothing at all period, but at the end of the day, you are a self made expert rather you like it are not!, now take this as a compliment!, it is meant as a compliment to you!,, ok, TbG, I am confussed here with the pricing of High-fidelity products!, the cable company has alot lower pricing than the high-end store that has a classified listing here on the audiogon for High-fidelity cables!, TBG, I am talking a huge difference in the cost of money!, the cable company has the ultimates at a little less than $5,000.00,, but this other dealer that has their listing here on the audiogon has the same cable for a whoping $7,500.00!,,, My question is, Did the High-fidelity cable company change their pricing!, whats going on here?,, the cable co is selling for alot less!,, cheers! |
@ Tbg, Ok, My mistake!, The dealer that has a listing on audiogon was not very clear!, the pricing they have is for the High-fidelity speaker cables!, LOL!,, forgive me and my pricing question! cheers! |
@c Tbg, I believe you are on to something special with these High-fidelity cables!, Reading multiple reviews on them, the reviewers seemed dumbfounded by the performance levels of these cables!, very impressive indeed!, It is because of you!, I am wanting to give these cables a listen!, I know you will not be supprised if I buy some!,LOL!, I will not be supprised my self!,, thankyou TBG, cheers! |
|
@ TbG, LOL!, I am a collector of cables that are the best available!, can you Imagine? owning on one system, the best of Taralabs, on the other system owning the best of High-fidelity?,, That would be the bomb and my goal!,, cheers! |

Jmcgrogan2 is a seasoned audiophile,I would consider his recommendations for cables!and I do agree with mt10425,we need to know what you are working with to give you an accurate recommendation. cheers! |
@ grey9hound, Hi,How much money are you willing to spend on a used i/c,or a new i/c,and what length do you need?,the length matters other than making it to point to point,there is alot of cable brands out there that sound better shorter,and some sound better a little longer,answering these questions will enable me to clarify my reccomendations for you,now that I know the system you are working with,cheers! |
