New TARA Labs USB cables

From the archive

TARA Labs’ The Artist USB and The Master USB w/EVO ground station system are USB 2.0 high-end audio cables that are so much more than just data transfer cables. TARA Labs USB cables excel in musicality, as well as high-frequency extension, superb midrange and powerful tight bass. You will also experience width and depth and height and balance, and all the characteristics we expect from TARA Labs high-end audio cables. TARA Labs’ The Artist and The Master USB cables are two brand-new, extraordinary high-end audio cable models that will upgrade and drastically improve your system’s performance.

The Artist USB cable

The construction of the TARA Labs Artist and Master w/EVO USB cables incorporates a high-quality polypropylene polymer material as the conductor insulation. It is currently used in the data transmission industry to create twisted-pair digital data transmission lines with very controlled electrical characteristics. It is an exceptionally durable insulation with good crush resistance that offers flexibility and reliability in such transmission lines. The insulated conductors are created using High Accuracy Dual Axis Laser Micrometers during the insulating process to control the uniformity of the insulation wall thickness, thus creating very consistent capacitance for the length of the conductors. The initial pair forming of this product is done using specially designed planetary cabling machines that offer uniform twisting of the insulated conductors into data lines that have controlled uniform capacitance and impedance, as well as using specific technological methods to hand-craft the construction. The significance of this is that the conductors are able to run as a helixed unit, which is very important for a USB cable that carries both signal and power; it also increases transmission speeds and cuts down on “jitter,” which is vital for any high-end audio USB cable. In addition, the multiple layers of shielding materials provide high shielding effectiveness, protecting the data pair from external EMI/RF electrical noise from the surrounding environment, as well as from power cables and audio components in close proximity to these USB assemblies.

The Master USB cable with its EVO ground station

Our construction, design and technologies result in a USB audio cable that is much quieter than any other USB cable in the high-end audio marketplace today. Technology dictates that the quieter the cable, the more detail you can hear in the music. And with the majority of high-end audio USB cables available for purchase, the word “Musicality” is seldom heard or ever used! This is where TARA Labs USB cables shine! Using our unique construction methodologies, technologies as well as patented materials, TARA Labs has created a pair of high-end audio USB cables that offer exceptional musicality, with nuanced details, expansive soundstage, as well as spatial cues. We are talking about the heart and soul of what we audiophiles live and breathe for…. Musicality! Not the typical analytical sounding USB cables that are in the marketplace. The Artist and Master w/EVO will greatly enhance any high-end audio 2-channel system, home theater and near-field audio systems.

TARA Labs USB cables are terminated with gold-plated USB 2.0 connectors. Currently, both the Artist USB and the Master USB cables are terminated with a choice of either Type A to Type B or Type A to Type A. The Master USB cable also includes our EVO Floating Ground Station system. Both cable models are custom hand-crafted at our factory in Oregon, USA, and lifetime guaranteed.
