Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

Hi-
Any one else out there using these Gabriel Gold IC's?
I need to know if it is me or if anyone else finds them as good as me.
I bought a pair on auction a while back and compared them to my Stealth cables.
After about a week of going back and forth I found the Gabriel Golds to have bettered my Stealths and bought more.
Is it me?
Just wondering what some other folks who bought them think of them.
Thanks for the input.

When I get my cables they are pre-cooked.The cables usually need some play time to settle down from the cooking process.I would think that 8-24 hours should do it.That's what I heard from Audiodharma also.You could also be hearing things that you never heard before.Try putting on a good recording that you are use to.Good systems and good cables can reveal crappy recordings.
good luck

When I got my Extreme 2s they had been burned in and I was told by Steve to give them 8 hours or so to settle down. Thought they sound pretty good right out of the box. Anyway, Antonkk just in case - do you have them directionally hooked up correctly - the cable plug that says Extreme 2 should be hooked to the amp , again per Steve

facten- you are right on the money my Extreme mk2 cables were also cooked and they do take a little while to settle down.I had no problem just playing them overnight and waking up to a cable that was fully broken in .
All of Steve's cables are cooked with a directional flow .
