Angeboten wird „The Grand Master Evolution 2.5m“ von Taralabs als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „XLR-Kabel (Analog)“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9901200676 endet am 12.07.2026 um 08:59 Uhr.
Timing-wise, this is a mature, endgame-style cable rather than something that’s being undercut by a newer replacement, so the age of the listing matters less than condition and provenance. At €12,900, it’s well above the typical used market here: versus a median of €3,181 and a 75th percentile of €4,403, this is clearly ambitious and should only make sense for a buyer who specifically wants this level of Tara Labs and can verify everything is complete and original.
What makes it interesting is the reputation: the Grand Master line is known for serious resolution, scale, and refinement, with the sort of transparency and low-level detail that can lift a top-tier system. In good condition, it can be a very special wire, but at this price I’d want strong justification such as pristine cosmetics, original packaging, and solid proof of authenticity. Without that, the premium is hard to defend.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Tara Labs, known formally as The Absolute Reference Audio Labs, traces its origins to 1984 when Australian innovator Matthew Bond founded the company in Sydney. Bond pioneered the first successful single solid-core conductor for audio cables, revolutionizing design with breakthroughs like the Phase II speaker cable in 1988. By 1986, the brand established its manufacturing base in Medford, Oregon, USA, where it has operated ever since under the leadership of president Merrill Bergs, blending Bond's foundational inventions with ongoing refinements.
The company specializes exclusively in high-end audio cables, including interconnects, speaker cables, and subwoofer cables. All products are custom hand-crafted in their Southern Oregon facility using solid-core wire and proprietary technologies such as the ZERO Evolution interconnect and OMEGA speaker cable. Tara Labs emphasizes meticulous, lifetime-guaranteed construction, avoiding diversification into amplifiers, speakers, or other categories.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-premium niche of the hi-fi market, Tara Labs commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its unmatched record of awards, reviews, and innovations over nearly four decades. It leads as a boutique cable authority, hand-crafting reference-grade solutions that reveal subtle nuances in attack, sustain, and high-frequency detail, though recent visibility in magazines has waned following key designer changes.
