Website: www.zensati.com

Edgar said: So, while other cable designs I’ve carefully auditioned, or had in-house, have come very close to equalling it, the sILENzIO loom achieves the very highest status within my cable universe experience.

TARA Labs The Muse Interconnects and Speaker Cables

Details
Parent Category: 2018 SoundStage! Network Equipment Buying Guide
Category: (2018) Interconnects and Speaker Cables

Price: AU$9990 for 1m RCA & XLR, AU$17,150 for 2.4m speaker cables

Website: www.taralabs.com

Edgar said: This cable loom is neutral and allows for stunning dynamic expression while communicating the music in a pacey, enjoyably rhythmic way. Low-level detail is easily discerned but without introducing artificiality, in other words, the excellent standard of resolution maintains the integrity of the musical message. 

Read the SoundStage! Australia review.

The gist: Elevated Edgar's system to a higher level.
