Taga Harmony GTPC-TS 2m

The GTPC-TS is 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 in high-performance power delivery for hi-fi systems.

Single-crystal architecture and optimized conductors

At its core, the GTPC-TS employs 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 needed for installation. The copper used reaches 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 asset. Unlike traditional polycrystalline conductors, where each grain boundary creates a barrier to electron flow, single-crystal copper forms a continuous, homogeneous path. This configuration eliminates microdistortions generated during rapid current demands, 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.

Multilayer protection against interference

The modern electromagnetic environment generates a constant stream of RFI and EMI 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 the entire set of conductors, forming an initial 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, paired with a nylon braid, completes this arrangement by providing mechanical protection and additional electrostatic insulation.

High-quality connectors with gold-plated contacts

Connectors are often the weak point of power cables. Taga Harmony has developed premium connectivity for the GTPC-TS using non-magnetic brass, a material 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 evidenced by 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 microdetails that were previously masked. The large gauge and purity of the conductors allow an instantaneous response to current demands, faithfully reproducing transients and musical dynamics.

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

Range and packaging

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