RSC Air Forté, £895
The Air™ Series and air-tube™ technology from TARA Labs has been at the forefront of audio cable design for nearly 20 years. The Air 1 Interconnect was The Absolute Sound ‘Product of the Year’ and has been one of the best-selling high-end audio cables of all time.
The Air Evolution™ Interconnect that provides phenomenal performance and a Capacitance figure of only 6 pF per foot. This means that the Air Evolution has more than twice the high frequency bandwidth of the famous Air 1 Interconnect. Of course the construction uses a minimal amount of dielectric material and a pair of the Rectangular Solid Core™ conductors.

- All new air tube design
- Controlled geometry for stable electrical characteristics
- Aero-PE filaments ensure a high percentage of overall air dielectric
- Anti-corrosion coated copper shield
- Each interconnect channel is a twin-axial design
- Extremely neutral, detail high-frequencies
- Resolution of fine ambient cues
- 10pF (cable capacitance measured in picofarads / pF)
Price is for 1m XLR or RCA, each additional metre = £150
“I’ve been listening to my system which has finally come around after installing [RSC Air Forte]. I had been missing that last little bit of speed, resolution and musicality that I knew was cable related since the rest of the system is quite resolving. But for some reason, all the cables I have been using had too much of a signature to really enjoy. Not so with the RSC Air Forte. I’m getting a beautifully clear detailed sound stage, just the right amount of bass and a clear but not etched high frequency presentation. Seriously, one could not ask for a better product given what the final listening results have yielded. Thanks for the loan, you have a winner on your hands.”

“Right out of the box this interconnect sounded great. Fast, transparent and a whole lot of detail in the top end.”
–TARA Labs Customer “T. Meyers”
“As clear as Kimber, cheaper than Cardas. Works well with Krell amps. I am using TARA power, interconnects and speaker wire! Killer aesthetics!”
