• The sound. A very neutral, very revealing and transparent reproduction of the live musical event. The bass frequencies have authority, attack and power. The mid-range frequencies are neutral and lifelike. The high-frequencies are delicate and extended beyond all but a few audio cables from TARA Labs. The only legitimate comparisons can be made against other TARA Labs Audio Interconnect cables. The AIR 1 S2 Interconnect does not get in the way of the music like so many other high-end audio cables. You will hear stunning dynamic contrasts, perfectly rendered cycles of ’attack, sustain and decay’ of all musical instruments and lifelike voices, contrasted against a dead quiet background. Soundstage dimensions and front to back depth are spacious and expansive. Images are well focused, palpable and lifelike. Fine detail and low-level ambient information, along  with micro-dynamics, provide incredible information about the live recorded space.


• The design. A pair of Rectangular Solid Core conductors are carefully spaced and held in TARA Labs’ remarkable invention; the multi-lumen, thin-wall Teflon Air-Tube. The AIR 1 S2 is fully shielded and includes Channel to Channel Shield connections to ’common’ any variations in the RF/EMI energy in the shield of either channel. 


• Technical proof. The important electrical characteristic to be measured in an audio interconnect is Capacitance per foot. When the capacitance is increased, the high-frequency bandwidth is reduced. For every doubling of Interconnect Capacitance, the high-frequency bandwidth is reduced by a full octave. Other manufacturers like to claim low capacitance in their cables; numbers such as 12 or 15 pico-Farads per foot, but TARA Labs is the all time record holder at 2 pF per foot. The capacitance as measured between the (+) and (-) conductors in the TARA Labs AIR 1 S2 Interconnect is a mere 8 pF per foot.


• The RCA terminations feature TARA Labs’ ’Torque Lock’ barrels to ensure a tight fit and optimal conductivity.
  
  


• All technology in the AIR 1 S2 Interconnects is original. The design concepts, design work and inventions are the result of 40 years of my ongoing research, original design concepts and proven engineering.
  
  


• Solid Core conductors, Rectangular Solid Core and Air-Tubes originated with me in the mid 1970’s and early 1980’s. There are many imitators in the audio cable industry, but no one comes close to TARA Labs. The Reference Series AIR 1 Interconnect is a remarkable and well executed design. Nothing works better than a Rectangular Solid Core conductor having specific proportions, using pure copper, proper annealing and in-line polishing of the conductor.
