Taga Harmony GTPC-TS 1.5m

The GTPC-TS represents the culmination of three decades of European expertise in audio cable design. This Gold-series reference combines 5N single-crystal copper conductors with triple-layer electromagnetic shielding, setting a new benchmark for high-performance power delivery in hi-fi systems.

Single-crystal architecture and optimized conductors

At the heart of the GTPC-TS are three multi-strand conductors of 65 × 0.25 mm each, totaling a cross-section of 12 AWG (3.3 mm²). This sizing ensures minimal resistance while preserving the flexibility required for installation. The copper used achieves a remarkable purity of 99.999% (5N), placing this material among the most refined conductors on the market.

The single-crystal structure is the cable’s key advantage. Unlike traditional polycrystalline conductors, where each grain boundary forms a barrier to electron flow, single-crystal copper provides a continuous, homogeneous path. This configuration eliminates micro-distortions generated during rapid current draws, which are particularly critical for audio amplifiers. Each conductor benefits from individual 6 mm PVC insulation, a substantial separation that limits parasitic capacitive interactions between phases.

Multi-layer protection against interference

Today’s electromagnetic environment produces a constant stream of RFI and EMI interference from household devices connected to the mains. These disturbances, which vary with surrounding electrical activity, contaminate the power line and degrade audio performance.

The GTPC-TS deploys three distinct levels of protection. A 30 µm aluminum foil first wraps all conductors, forming a primary screen against high-frequency electric fields. An OFC 4N copper braid (16 × 7 × 0.12 mm) then creates an effective Faraday cage against electromagnetic disturbances. The 16.8 mm outer PVC jacket, reinforced with a nylon braid, completes the setup by providing mechanical protection and additional electrostatic insulation.

High-quality connectors with gold-plated contacts

Connectors are often the weak point of power cables. For the GTPC-TS, Taga Harmony has developed premium connectors using non-magnetic brass, a material that remains neutral with respect to magnetic fields. The Schuko pins and IEC C13 contacts receive 24-carat gold plating, ensuring immunity to oxidation and optimal long-term conductivity.

This gold finish ensures stable electrical contact and minimizes contact resistance. The connectors are rated at 16 A/250 V, a comfortable margin for powering the most demanding equipment. Build quality is evident in the absence of mechanical play and the firmness of the connections.

Impact on sound reproduction

The most immediate improvement concerns the reduction of background noise. By effectively filtering mains-borne interference, the GTPC-TS reveals micro-details previously masked. The large cross-section and purity of the conductors enable an instantaneous response to current demands, faithfully reproducing transients and musical dynamics.

Imaging directly benefits from this improved signal-to-noise ratio. Subtle acoustic cues become more apparent, and the soundstage gains in both depth and width. This heightened resolution delivers a more holographic and engaging presentation, with better separation of sonic layers.

Range and packaging

Four carefully calibrated lengths are available: 0.5 m, 1 m, 1.5 m, and 2 m, allowing you to tailor the cable to any setup without excess length. Each GTPC-TS is delivered in a hard case that preserves the cable’s integrity while offering an elegant storage solution.
