Grand Master Evolution Phono w/HFX Ground Station
The Grand Master Evolution Phono is the epitome of high-end reference quality—it is the definitive statement in analog signal transfer. As TARA Labs’ flagship phono interface, it is engineered for those who settle for nothing less than the absolute best. By combining industry-leading metallurgy with a proprietary grounding solution, this cable reveals the hidden soul of your vinyl collection with a vanishingly low noise floor.
The Master Gen3 Conductor: Pure Science, Pure Sound
At the heart of the Evolution lies the Master Gen3 Conductor. TARA Labss utilizes 8N purity copper (99.999999% oxygen-free), crafted into a mono-crystal, rectangular solid core. Each strand is hand-polished and frequency-tuned to eliminate the “strand-jumping” distortion common in traditional cables. The result is an unparalleled level of transparency and a soundstage that is nothing short of holographic.
Silence the Noise: The HFX Ground Station
Phono signals are the most delicate in any audio system. To protect them, TARA Labs integrated their proprietary Star-Ground System (SGS).
- The HFX Advantage: Using a variety of mini-banana connections, the HFX Ground Station allows you to optimize the shield and ground arrangement between your cartridge, tonearm, and preamp.
