Tara labs,onyx interconnect

Good morning,there isn't much info,around on them,the ism will be the one to go for.I was planning to go with kef r400 sub.The onyx is in the country,so things are going well in that department,its going to be interesting to hear that cable.Halestorm is on the way.Cool

Brilliant,I haven't used a ground station before,this info will be very helpful,thankyou.The cable could take up to a month to arrive as to where I live,customs and I have a weeks holiday coming up.I will happily give my opinion,when it does.Im sure it will take me to a new level of appreciation,of my favourite music.

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

Hi there,yes.Very good.I'll like this band for sure.

Thanks,I can't wait to hear this cable, im hoping to live with it for a long time.At the moment Im using tara labs master,and I think it its a lovely cable for the money.

Thankyou,I think the whole band are good musicians,I bet it sounds great,on a good system.Ill probably get a few of there albums.You mite like,nick cave,latest album,its a good one for the collection.My cable got posted today,a little slow,but its on the way so im happy.

Hi, Ive been living and working in karratha ,Western Australia.

Oh shit sorry mate.Im from New Zealand,been over here a couple of years,chasing the money,working hard, and this year starting to build up a quality system.I didn't know,the people behind tara labs still do a bit of work in oz.Like you mate,I like the complete balance,of tara labs interconnects.I didn't realize,even a used cable,to give it a few hundred hours to bed in,interesting.

Hi,yes nz is a beautiful place,home of Plinius,and the (all blacks),the national rugby team.I drive a truck in and around karratha mate,which is pretty much a mining town.Most people are good,I m enjoying life too much to listen to negative people,drama queens if you like,haven't heard one that doesn't like americans yet. I use signal cables, silver speaker cable,which I find are quite good,and have magnan signature sc,in a box, I dig out from time to time.I would like to hear a good tara seaker cable.My next purchase,next year is likely to be a powercord or 2,abit of fine tuning.Have a good day mate,can I ask,what is one of your favourite albums over the last year.My music collection is mainly in nz,so im missing that a bit.

Thanks for that,i have a wide taste in music,and like to hear new stuff.I'll try and access that album.I've never heard a krell,though lots of good things are said,one day it will happen.At this stage,I'll probably use the master from the cd player and the onyx between pre and amp.Can I ask,what interconnect do you use from the cd player.than you.

Hi,Im watching it tracked,if im lucky,and customs do there thing,late next week.I go on holiday for a week after that so then the week after.I bought second hand,I would have liked the gold,but settled for next best.I've got a few bills on,so that is a good option for me right now.Do you dabble with a bit of vinyl,?,I quite like a bit of analog.Next year I'll fire up the record player again.

This hobby is bit of an addiction,and can keep you broke.Three people I know have spent between 20 and 30k each on a holiday,lately,and memories are all thats left.A real nice stereo will last a life time,to me thats good value.Im reading a couple of your other posts,interesting reading.Do you know much about a subwoofer cables.Next year I want to introduce one,just to know.Cheers

Yes,I will do.My speakers back in nz,take over the whole lounge pretty much,I would like to down size and see if I can keep the good music coming.At the moment I use kef ls50 monitors,which are quite good as Im in a small room.Hopefully adding a sub,later,when im in the house,I'll be happy.I'll get there eventually,no doubt.Looking on the net,subwoofer cables are different,I thought they mite be normal interconnects.

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

Hi there jafant,what do you recomend,? Most people I know have at least one tara in their system.I know tara labs and like what I've heard.But Im always open to suggestions,cheers.

Hi,great thanks keith.It could be six months to go down that road.There maybe more to it than just a cable,like a similar cable and powercord on the subwoofer.So the bass and mids are going the same speed as the monitors,Im not sure.Hi there,jerry,thankyou,if you can help in any way.

Sorry,I forgot to say,my name is bob.

Thankyou anyway,I'll run with it and give it a go.There's only one way to find out.

Hi there,the cable arrived today,and it sounds excellent.Im finding it very musical and not a hint of brightness,the back ground is dead quiet too.I do have one thing that is a little unusual,the 2 banana plugs coming out of the cable are on the opposite end to what the instructions say.The female and male banana plugs are on the source end,? Im not sure if this is normal,I can't fault the sound.

Thankyou guys,Tara labs says the serial numbers are good,and the cables may have been ordered that way,they are happy to change them over for me.I'll have a little play and may just change one of the clips on one of the pig tails.Not sure what the sound difference will be.I have a question for greyhound,I don't need really strong bass,could I get by on a interconnect cable,cheers.

Tara labs,just let me know,the current configuration will be just fine.fantastic.

Hi there,the two pig tails that join together on my cables are at pre amp end ,and the amp end, are connected to the ground station.Tara labs did say I wont hear any audio difference.It sure sounds pretty good to me.

yep, thats alright, thats how i got them.They are balanced,ive got it right now, just connected the two opposite pig tails together.Im enjoying all the transparency ive never had before, nice and clear too

Hi yes,done that one first.Ill clock up a few hours and see how things go.I think once I get into the new abode the sound will really come on,Im a bit limited with space here.Thankyou keith,how are your sounds coming along. ?

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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,?

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.

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.

Great,my email is [email protected].

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.

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

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

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,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
