What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

The Apollo Extreme offers twice the conductors of our standard Apollo speaker cables. *Also included is our specialized BSM (banana-spade module) which enables the user to “switch” out and use either spades or banana terminations. This is extremely beneficial for audiophiles who switch out or buy new components. The ability to use both bananas & spades is far superior to the older styled soldered permanent terminations. The Apollo Extreme speaker cable is also available as either a stereo or bi-wire speaker cable model.

Our take on the brand
Tara Labs is a hifi brand known for its unique "Air-Tube" technology that suspends conductors inside Teflon tubes and its vacuum dielectric design in "The Zero" interconnects, both aimed at minimizing signal distortion. The Oregon-based company uses proprietary Rectangular Solid Core conductors and Ceralex noise absorption material in their handcrafted cables, which are noted for revealing subtle ambient and spatial details in the music.
