TARA LABS ANNOUNCES NEW APOLLO EXTREME CABLE SERIES
For over thirty years, TARA Labs has been at the forefront of high-performance audio cables. The Oregon, USA based brand this week announced its new Apollo Extreme cable range.
Devon Scott, Executive Vice President at TARA Labs told StereoNET:
In our never-ending quest to develop and create new technologies, TARA Labs Design Team (TLDT) continues to research new ways to improve our line of award winning products.
The design team's latest development includes interconnects and speaker cables, available in both stereo and bi-wire models.
Like all TARA Labs products, the new range is hand-crafted at its factory, and early reports indicate that the Apollo Extreme range could be considered affordably priced high-end audio cable, however local UK pricing has not yet been announced.
The Apollo Extreme interconnects feature a new specialised extruded pure copper oxygen free conductor, as well as a new proprietary dielectric material that TARA Labs says, is "specifically manufactured with high entry-mid level audio component systems in mind."
The brand describes these cables as “extremely transparent, with excellent high-frequency extension, as well as being open, fast and accurate with precise resolution."
Boris Granovsky, Director of Absolute Hi End who represents TARA Labs in Australia, told StereoNET:
The new Apollo Extreme speaker cables features four 14 AWG conductors each (+) and (-) conductors paths consisting of SA-OF8N “Pressure group” solid core conductors. Each of the conductor runs is extruded with a thin layer of SVPE primary dielectric material.
The Apollo Extreme offers twice the conductors of the standard Apollo speaker cables.
TARA Labs also use its specialised BSM (banana-spade module) allowing the user to switch between either spades or banana terminations. A feature welcomed in the StereoNET office where we're constantly changing speakers and gear.
The TARA Labs Apollo Extreme range will be available in May.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
