Hey guys,
If you look back at my very first post, I clearly admit I'm not an electrical engineer. I gather my info from extremely reliable and well known tech's I've talked to in the past to answer questions about things like this. (Rivera,Mesa Engin., Pearce, Gibson, to name a few)The solder thing comes from a well known tube amp restoration guy. The super-annealing is explained in the first few sentences of my last post. That was taken from Tara Labs. Here it is right from the package: "We begin with only the purest oxygen-free copper , mined exclusively for us in Australia. The copper is processed in an oxygen-free environment, which protects it from the harmful effects of oxidation. A process known as "super annealing" results in copper conductors with an uncommonly long, unbroken crystal structure. This eliminates internal oxidation that can occur between crystals and cause audible distortion." Pk, you are right, electronics aren't my forte, but playing my instrument, THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. Hell Pk, it will even make your Peavey TNT's come alive! It looks as though I'm the only guy with enough balls in here to stick it out with you characters..that's ok, I'm still waiting for the magical question I've repeated post after post...... How many of you HAVE TRIED IT OUT???????????????? or just went to demo one??????????????????????? So, in reality, all the negative comments directed at me go to the above sources from which they directly originated from. Until I hear from someone who has at least tried one for themselves, I'll sit back and watch you guys fight it out!
Since you are not electronically inclined, why in the world are you tossing terms and pseudo facts around like you know what you are talking about?
"So, in reality, all the negative comments directed at me go to the above sources from which they directly originated from."
Show me that source. I'll bet you can't.
Show me ONE thing by Mesa or Gibson that backs up ANY claim that Tara makes. That "well known" restoration expert has fed you a line that rivals Taras claims in absurdity. How in the name
of everything holy can something with a zero moisture content dry out? I don't care how hard you squeeze a lump of solder, you wont get any liquid out of it!
To substantiate any claim by quoting something from a package that a Tara cable was packed in proves nothing.
It makes no difference if copper is annealed oxygen free or not. If it's exposed to oxygen in it's final form it will oxidize. Copper cannot oxidize within its crystaline structure. It can only oxidize on its surfaces that are exposed to oxygen. The inside of a solid copper penny doesn't oxidize, does it?
You are not the only one who is looking forward to the tests although I doubt that any such tests will ever take place.
One ugly fact still remains. Tara has yet to offer one iota of scientific evidence to support thier claims. If any of thier hoopla was the least bit grounded in fact, they would have made a discovery that ranks right up there with the transistor. Believe me, every major electronic manufacturer in the world would be beating down thier doors. Why can't Tara Labs come up with any challengable scientific data to back up thier claims?
Most of us seem to be willing to let the subject rest until the tests. You are the one that is keeping the subject going. Keep making stupid posts like the last couple,though, and someone will challenge your facts.
The reason that I haven't spent my money on a Tara power cable is because I would feel like a total fool for doing so. I know that I can't breathe water. Just because someone says that I can is not enough to make me stick my head underwater and take a deep breath.
Your show of "balls" is admirable. Your apparent lack of real facts is a pity. The more you post, the more I understand why you 'think' you hear the huge difference.
