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.

Manufacturer details

  • Capacitance: 4 pF
One of the most successful audio cables of all time is the original Zero Gold interconnect from TARA Labs. The original Zero Gold was praised for its breakthrough performance. In the Gen 2 design, technology has literally been borrowed from the famous and more expensive Zero Evolution interconnect. Available now is the ZERO Gold Generation 2 audio cables at a lower price, with complete flexibility and better performance than the original Zero Gold.

The breakthrough improvements include greater bandwidth and a completely new and proprietary air-dielectric construction. TARA Labs first introduced air dielectric interconnect cables in 1986; 30 years ago. And instead of using round conductors in air-tubes, TARA Labs uses Rectangular Solid Core® (RSC®) conductors which are 'seated' inside small air-tubes™. The new Zero Gold Gen 2 makes full use of this technology.

The new Zero Gold Gen 2 will offer the listener an audio cable that is absolutely fabulous! Extremely low in capacitance at 4 pF, with a sound that can be described as holographic. Exceptional high-frequency extension and detail, expansive soundstage with spatial cues with a bottom end that is rich and full of bloom, in addition to a substantial low noise floor. This interconnect is simply astounding for the price. And for audiophiles who remember the original Zero Gold, the flexibility of the new Zero Gold Gen 2 will si...

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.
