The Zero Evolution Phono
with HFX Ground Station
The Zero Evolution Phono is built around TARA Labs’ “Master” Gen 3 conductor of 8N mono-crystal copper.
Its Star-Ground System and HFX Ground Station let you float or connect sections of the shield to suit your turntable, tonearm and preamp. Very low capacitance suits cartridges of any output.
Hand-made to order in Medford, Oregon. Pricing is available from your authorized TARA Labs dealer.
The Master Gen3 Conductor
At the heart of the Zero Evolution lies the “Master” Gen3 Conductor. Every inch is meticulously crafted to ensure an uninterrupted signal path:
- 8N Purity: 99.999999% oxygen-free, mono-crystal copper.
- Rectangular Solid Core: Optimized geometry to eliminate skin-effect distortions.
- Aeronautical Precision: Hand-polished and frequency-tuned for perfect phase linearity.
Sonic Character: Absolute Transparency
Experience a transformation in your listening room. The Zero Evolution is designed to be extremely revealing, stripping away the veil between you and the original recording.
- Holographic Soundstage: An expansive, three-dimensional image that places every instrument in its exact physical space.
- Frequency Mastery: Exceptional high-frequency extension paired with tight, authoritative bass and a lush, full-bodied midrange.
- Natural Musicality: Neutral and uncolored, delivering a lifelike performance that honors the artist’s intent.
The HFX Ground Station & Star-Ground System (SGS)
The phono interface is notoriously sensitive to interference. To combat this, the Zero Evolution features our proprietary Star-Ground System with the HFX Ground Station.
This unrivaled system provides a variety of mini-banana connections, allowing you to “float” or connect different sections of the shielding. Because every turntable, tonearm, and preamp combination handles grounding differently, the SGS allows you to fine-tune the shield arrangement to your specific environment. This eliminates the “hum and buzz” common in high-end analog setups, resulting in the lowest possible noise floor and a background of pure, inky silence.
Technical Specifications & Features
- Extremely Low Capacitance: Compatible with all cartridges, regardless of output voltage.
- Available Terminations: RCA, XLR, or 5-pin DIN.
- Hand-Crafted Excellence: Proudly made by hand in the USA.
- Lifetime Guarantee: A commitment to quality that lasts as long as your passion for music.
The Zero Evolution Phono provides a method of optimizing the shield and ground system for the lowest possible noise floor in the most critical component interface of your system.
For right-angle (90°) 5-Pin DIN terminations, choose “Style A” or “Style B” orientations (see images)
