No, not a joke, the seller of Tara Labs Zero is waiting for my payment.
I had planned to use two Genesis power cables for the Adam A5 speakers. But I recently discovered that more filtering after Judge power cable isn't needed, so I will use ElectraGlide Synapses2 power cables instead (I love those cables, they are like Judge except without the filtering). With the money I save I can upgrade to Zero.
I have not been satisfied with any interconnects, I have tried 22awg Valhalla, 22awg Valkyrja, and 16awg Valhalla with Dual Filaments like Odin uses, all wire thicknesses were bad, round conductors are unacceptable. I believe Odin will be bad also (it's only for coloration). I have tweaked and mutilated everything, I ended up cutting shorter and shorter until I had no wire left, I only have the connectors soldered together now. Crazy layering and bass! It's better than all interconnects in the world and it doesn't cost a thing!
But with a speaker system I don't have a choice, I need interconnects between DAC and speakers. (The amps are inside the speakers.)
Right now I'm using no interconnects + 2meters 16awg Valhalla Dual Filament for my K1000. But they are very uncomfortable, I get neck problems because I can't move my head once placing them on my head. Speakers are great, I will also place them on top of Magix levitation feet, I can't do that with K1000! The veins on my head give resonances into my headphones, I don't like it. With a loudspeaker system the dust gives distortion between speakers and ears, but when using desktop speakers it seems to be good. Or maybe not?
With the Adam A5 setup I need 1meter interconnects but no speaker cable, With my K1000 setup I don't need any interconnect but I need 2meters speaker cable. The interconnect is more important than the speaker cable, it needs to be good. Tara Labs Zero has vacuum dielectric and rectangular conductor so I think it will be acceptable?
K1000 or Adam A5, which is better?
