Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

I have the Gabriel Gold Revelations so I may be a bit partial(as many others here are who own them) as they are certainly the best IC that I have ever heard.I find them to have incredible depth and layering with instuments and voices presented in accurate fashion.
Along with great bass and staging.

My point is
Let us not be mistaken between DEPTH and RECESSED.

Recessed,meaning that it does go back deep but does not have the capability to differentiate.

Or as Mr. Webster believes " a withdrawing from usual activity" ("a recessed cable sure makes me withdraw from the activity of listening to tunes and usually promotes the activity of watching TV)

Regarding depth
"distance from front to back"
The GG'S have depth, solidity,tonallity and with natural musical flavors coming out of a beautiful quiet black background .(wow that made me hungry)

I've listened to some cables and I won't mention names that I thought had great depth upon initial listening.
After just a short period of time it's like "where's the music ? "
"Please reach me baby" / "It sounds good in the room behind the wall I bet"

I have not heard the Jade cable but hear they are a very good with nice sparkle and slam.However,I have heard from a member that has listened to both cables and believes that the Jade is more recessed and that the Gabriel Gold were much truer to the music and just let's things flow naturally.

I have owned other cables that are VERY! recessed and I feel like I have to put my chair in front of the speakers
to get a sense of a live performance.

I don't like sitting in the last row at a show or the first row for that matter.I want the perfect seat!

I want to be able to have a sense of how the performance was recorded live or studio mix and have everything hit my ears as it should be.

Man,I know I am asking for a lot,however,I think I am right there with the GG Revelations
Just my opinion

Not to get into semantics here, but I am curious if recessed sound could come from room factors just as easily as it could come from a cable.

Nice semantic to point out. Just to add, I can manipulate the central image or depth in several ways. One way is to move the speakers further apart and the second way is to remove or change the damping material at the back of the speaker. If you want depth, you can also manipulate that too by have a "recessed" back wall at the center in between the speakers.

So the depth factor may not be exclusively due to cable design. Good point Clio09.

clio09-what do you think of the Gabriel Gold Revelations?
Are they burnt in yet.Awaiting your thoughts against some of the other cables you've referred to.Don't mean to pressure you!!!!!

Bobf, I was away on business last week and have a trip this week as well. The cables have about 150 hours on them. They have been slowly opening up. I can see where they have taken the sound up a couple of notches from the Extreme. The soundstage is a bit wider and even taller than before, but most importantly is the better layering and increased space between the instruments. I imagine they will get a little better over the next 100 hours. I still have not tried them in conjunction with the Extremes. Right now they are between my TVC and amp. Eventually I'd like to move them to between the DAC and TVC, with the Extreme between the TVC and amp.

I do like these cables better than the Jade Vermeil I had. I also prefer them to the RSAD Poemia!!!, but I think the Revelation and Poemia!!! could also make a nice combination together. I have been taken by surprise by another set of "mystery" cables (of which I bought two pairs) that are currently between the DAC and TVC. In conjunction with the Revelation the sound is the best I have heard from my system in some time. After I compare this combination to the Revelation/Extreme I am also going to run the two "mystery" cables together as well. I'll post some more thoughts as things develop.
