TARA Labs Fake Cables Alert!
As we all know, most high-end audio cable manufactures have to deal with the problem of counterfeit cables. Individuals who manufacture poor quality audio cables and sell them online as an official brand.
TARA Labs is especially hit hard with this as all our cables are custom hand-crafted and known world-wide as the best audio cables in the industry for over thirty-seven years. These individuals try to re-create illegal TARA Lab cables in their home and sell them as official TARA Labs cables online. These fake cables can look very similar to TARA Labs on the outside, and can easily pass the untrained eye. But on the inside they are absolutely poor imitations using inferior materials and construction methods. This has always been a problem for us throughout the years. We are often contacted by individuals who bought them online, and ask us to authenticate those cables as official TARA Labs audio cables. We always inform them that we are not able to authenticate any cable by photos alone, but that they can send it to us to check it out. And in 9 out of 10 times, we find these cables to be poor imitations of TARA Labs audio cables. When we inform these people that they just purchased a fake TARA labs, they always ask: “What can I do as I spent thousands of dollars?” Well there is nothing we can do except to try and find these individuals and inform the website they were bought on. But in truth, buyers who are blocked just go back under another false name and do it again.
Below is an image of a cable that was recently sent to us. To the untrained eye, this actually looks like an official TARA labs audio cable. And a lot of work went into it. But right away we could see that it was not ours. Once we opened it, we could plainly see this was a fake! So it is important to tell all your customers who buy our cables… Only purchase TARA Labs cables from an official authorized TARA Labs dealer.
TARA Labs is proud to announce that one of the worlds largest audio companies; Yamaha Music, is now recommending TARA Labs “CASCADE Noise burn-in application” for their headphones & speakers.

TARA Labs New USB Cables!
TARA Labs' The Artist USB and The Master USB w/EVO ground station system are 2.0 USB high-end audio cables that are so much more than just a data transfer cable. TARA Labs USB cables excel in musicality, as well as high-frequency extension, superb mid-range and powerful tight bass. You will also experience width and depth and height and balance, and all the characteristics we expect from a 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 systems performance.
The construction of TARA Labs Artist and Master w/EVO, USB Cables incorporates a high-quality polypropylene polymer material as the conductor insulation. It is currently in the data transmission industry to create twisted pair digital data transmission lines with very control electrical characteristics. It is an exceptionally durable insulation with good crush resistance that offer flexibility and reliable in such transmission lines. The insulated conductors are created using High Accuracy Dual Axis Laser Micrometers during the insulating process to control the uniformity in 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. This will offer uniform twisting of the insulated conductors into data lines that have controlled uniform capacitance and impedance. The significance of this is that the conductors are able to run as a helixed unit which is very important for a USB cable, which carries both signal and power, as well as increasing transmission speeds, and cutting down on “ jitter” which is vital for any high-end audio USB cable. In addition, the multiple layers of shielding materials provide high shielding effeteness in shielding the data pair from external EMI/RF electrical noise from the surrounding environment in addition to other power cables, and audio components in close proximity to these USB Assemblies.
Our construction, design and technologies results in a USB audio cable that is much quieter than any other USB cable in the high-end audio marketplace today. Technology dictates, 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 and high-end audio 2-channel system, home theater and near-field audio systems.
TARA Labs USB cables are terminated with gold plated 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 and 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.

TARA Labs 2016 Press Release:
The Apollo Series, The Muse Interface, The Zero Gold G2, “SP” Speaker Cables
APOLLO SERIES: It’s 2016, and TARA Labs is very excited at presenting an introduction to our newest line of entry level high-end audio cables. In mythology, Apollo was one of the twelve mythological deity gods that were worshipped by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Apollo was the god of music, poetry, healing and light amongst other virtues he was endowed with. TARA Labs has taken that inspiration from this mythology as well as what Apollo represented, and named our new line of audio cables for those very qualities that made him a god to the ancients.
Apollo Series cables will represent a new era in entry level products for TARA Labs.
We developed this brand new concept for the Apollo, keeping in mind the relationship they will have with their counterpart components. In electronics, we sometimes refer to trickle-down technology. At TARA Labs, we make full use of this term by incorporating numerous technological advances and designs from our higher-end reference cables into the Apollo Series audio cables. Compared to the TL series, Apollo cables have a more coherent construction and design which translate to a substantial enhancement of soundstage, high frequency extension, spatial cues, improved noise floor, as well as enhanced musicality.
The Apollo speaker cables construction now includes our proprietary BSM termination (Banana/Spade modules). So instead of soldered on spades or bananas, you can now switch the termination at will with little effort on your part. This bodes well with the numerous components that require either or both terminations. The Apollo interconnects are also available with either RCA or XLR termination. In addition, the Apollo Series cables will offer an audiophile a musical experience that is easily comparable to cables costing many times more their price! We would venture to say “Get a $1000.00 upgrade to your audio system for around $200.00”
The Apollo Series cables will be replacing our current line of entry level cables, The TL Series.
THE MUSE INTERFACE: TARA Labs has been at the forefront of design & technology for thirty years. In that time, TARA Labs has been credited with numerous “first inventions” in the field of high-end audio cables; Rectangular Solid Core (RSC), vacuum dielectric technology (VDT), and now we are introducing the advent of a fantastic new product known as: The Muse Interface.
If you could improve the sound of your audio system, what would that be?
Would it be a more expansive soundstage, less glare or stridency, more musicality?
There are literally thousands of component models available in the audio marketplace. And many of these components when combined together, will not offer that symbiotic relationship and sound that audiophiles are looking for? TARA Labs has always been at the forefront of technological advances in this industry, and our high-end audio cables have brought many a system close to “perfection.”
In an effort to expand our product line to bring audiophiles closer to the “live-sound”, TARA Labs is now introducing The Muse Interface Sound Enhancement System. You can now add this incredible technology to your audio system and improve your sound like never before! And it works with any audio system or audio cables regardless of brand. The Muse Interface can be connected to any RCA or XLR cable termination, and what you’ll experience is a lower noise floor, wider sound-stage, more presence, mid-range warmth and richness, as well as enhanced musicality without sacrificing detail and high frequency extension. A sound that is more coherent and natural, bringing you closer to the “live-experience” like never before!
*The Muse Interface is especially recommended for systems that have wide-bandwidth electronics (with limited filtering*), or with systems that use loudspeakers that have a tonal balance that emphasizes the high frequencies, including systems that are slightly etched sounding or overly detailed, perhaps with a sense of glare or stridency. In addition, we have found that when used with high-end audio systems, the effects become more apparent. Meaning the better the audio system, the closer you’ll become with that “perfect live sound”
The Muse Interface is unlike traditional shielding methods or filter networks. Even complex shielding methods still remain in proximity to the conductors, thereby distorting the audio signal. Filter networks in boxes at the ends of the cables often contain low quality resistors, inductors and capacitors to perform the filtering. These reduce RFI/EMI in the cable itself by being soldered in series and parallel between the signal conductors. This alters the integrity of the signal, in particular, the higher order harmonic structure. Using The Muse Interface, RFI/EMI is dissipated and absorbed within the Muse technology. This function occurs in isolation from the signal conductors. The signal path is not cut and fitted with additional components. The Muse Interface is extremely effective in eliminating the noise of RFI/EMI without the attendant high-frequency anomalies of filter networks. This translates into a sound that is closer to live than ever before.
THE ZERO GOLD G2 (Gen2): One of the most successful audio cables of all time is the original ZERO Gold Interconnect from TARA Labs. The original ZERO Gold was praised for its breakthrough performance. In the Gen 2 design, technology has literally been borrowed from the famous and more expensive ZERO Evolution Interconnect. Available now is the ZERO Gold Generation 2 Interconnect at a lower price with complete flexibility and better performance than the original ZERO Gold. The breakthrough improvements include greater bandwidth and a completely new and proprietary air-dielectric construction. TARA Labs first introduced air dielectric interconnect cables in 1986; 30 years ago. And instead of using round conductors in air-tubes, TARA Labs uses Rectangular Solid Core® (RSC®) conductors which are 'seated' inside small air-tubes™. The new Zero Gold G2 makes full use of this technology.
The new Zero Gold G2 will offer the listener an audio cable that is absolutely fabulous! Extremely low in capacitance at 3 pF, with a sound that can be described as holographic. Exceptional high-frequency extension and detail, expansive soundstage with spatial cues with a bottom end that is rich and full of bloom, in addition to a substantial low noise floor. This interconnect is simply astounding for the price. And for audiophiles who remember the original Zero Gold, the flexibility of the new Zero Gold G2 will simply amaze them.
TARA Labs “SP” Speaker Cables: As the loudspeaker cables carry much higher signal voltage and current into a non-linear impedance (the loudspeaker) the reactive load of the loudspeaker can be difficult for some amplifiers to drive... and the all-important damping factor of the amplifier does change from amplifier to amplifier. 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, in addition to a loss of musicality. However, when these amplifiers are connected with TARA Labs ‘SP’ speaker cable models, the output of some high-end loudspeakers instantly becomes audibly improved at variable frequencies. One of the great attributes of the TARA Labs ‘SP’ speaker cable models, are the 'state-of-the-art' technology and design that was created by TARA Labs. Their performance level is absolutely spectacular when matched with the majority of high-end audio components available today.
TARA Labs ‘SP’ cable models are now available in the Evolution series cables; Air Forte, Air Evolution, Omega Evolution and he Grand Master Evolution.

The stringtone was oh so sweet and at the same time the micro details in the recording were brought alive so easily and beautifully; I have never heard this recording sound so impressive before. In short, the Taralabs grandmaster cables are by far the best loudspeaker and interconnect cables I have ever experienced in my audiophile journey of more than thirty years. I urge everybody who is in the position to do so to give these Taralabs cables a listen: they are imho phenomenal!” – Audiocrack / 2014
“The Platinum Eclipse is, as I previously wrote, the company's best cable, but the new, finally flexible Zero Evolution takes the sound to another level of liquidity, transparency, and limitless high-frequency extension.- MF / Stereophile
“The Omega Evolution speaker cable is as perfect as any cable could be. Blending a remarkable soundstage with instruments hanging delicately in space and absolute neutrality allowing every nuance to shine though. Truly a platinum standard for both tube and solid-state systems alike.” – Carl Jerrits/ Apex Audio
“When I swapped my reference wires for the TL-2/14 and the TL-201 I was surprised at how clean the sound was. The background noise, or better, the electronic hash in the background, was vacuum cleaned. Such a canvas was perfect for the TARA Labs to start painting their sonic pictures. I liked the exciting lower bass to midbass where instruments like electric bass guitar, kick drum or timpani have their fundamentals – it was contoured and full of energy, something that is rare in this price category” – Audiodrum magazine review 2014
“The mids were tonally brilliant and seamlessly extended to pure and soaring highs. Triangles, flutes or blazing horns had both romanticism and bite, both emotions and technical perfection” – Audiodrum magazine review 2014
“I was blown with the soundstage that was rendered by the cheap TARA Labs cables. Realistically proportioned, with width and depth without any restrictions, totally fluid in its expanding wholeness – simply breathtaking in this category of products” – Audiodrum magazine review 2014
“The full-blown Zero Evo effect is dramatic, like you have on X-Ray goggles and can see how the whole thing is organized. It's defined to the max in all directions—left to right, front to back, up and down—and detailed, detailed, detailed.” - Marshall Nack / Positive Feedback Online, Issue #81 2015
“… not even the tiniest square footage, is blurry or vague. Detail builds upon detail. Every instrument has its own space and fits in with no overlapping, like pieces in a 3-D puzzle. The thing is so solid and images are so precisely positioned it has the aspect of a large piece of aural sculpture.” - Marshall Nack / Positive Feedback Online, 2015 Issue #81
“Generally speaking, today's audio cable products fall into two camps: those that emphasize beautiful sound and those that strive for ruler-flat neutrality. But what's really needed is a mutant breed that is able to deliver on both fronts. That's where the new TARA Labs Zero Evolution interconnects fit in. This cable is decisively in the neutral camp. However, it has unsurpassed timbral fidelity and characteristics like liquidity and ease, all of which I associate with the musical camp. But the beauty of their sound does not impair their passing an incredible amount of information.” - Marshall Nack / Positive Feedback Online, Issue #81
“The Evolution upgrade adds the rich textured midrange of the Stealth Sakra, while continuing to produce faster attacks, longer sustains, and deeper decays” – MF Stereophile magazine #Vol 36
“”…More precise note attacks from top to bottom, greater textural nuance, suppler and more precise bass” – MF / Stereophile magazine Dec. 2015 (regarding Omega Evolution SP speaker cables)
“The go-to wires for my system when it’s not hosting review gear are TARA Labs Zero Evolution interconnects” – MF / Stereophile magazine Dec. 2015
