How does TARA Stack Up?

Having been a member now for about 5 months, as well as, an avid Tara Labs cable fan, I've marvelled at the relative lack of comments, recommendations, comparisons, etc. regarding the Tara's high end speaker, IC, & power cables vs. others (i.e. "The One", "The Two", "The Zero").

At the same time we're bombarded by Nordost SPM/Vahalla, Transparent Ref/XL, and MIT discussions and debates, not to mention others. (Not to take a thing away from these cables.)

I'd be curious to hear general thoughts, however, on the Tara cables and how they've compared to the above. Obviously, personal systems vary and cable results are affected, however, there must be some general experience and thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

I have only used up to Air 2's in my system, so I'm not fimilair with anything above that in there line. I used to have 2 sets of cables AQ and Tara. Tara cables seemed to be to laid back and slowers then other cables, and depending on what music I was listening to I would switch between the Tara's and the AQ( I find AQ more forward). After a while I just thought this was a crazy thing to do, so I started looking at different cables and found XLO Ref. was prefect middle ground for me and had less coloration, Fast with Real nice bottom end. Also I didn't have to spend $1000.00 bucks to get into there upper line of cables, XLO signature I think is $600ish new.
