Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

john-,If I were to add anything to your detailed post regarding the Rapture . It would that it is one of the top 3 interconnects in the world.

Bobf,
When good systems and cables reveal crappy recordings. That's why I stick to crappy systems and cables and good recordings 8^).

The asking price of both the GG Rapture and Jade Hybrid is what makes them the top cables IMO. Both are worth every penny.

Bobf,

Have you heard the Jade/H?

What would be your top 3?

My top 4 would be
#1) Gabriel Gold Rapture
#2) Gabriel Gold Rev MK 2
#3) Stealth Indra
#4) Omega Mikro Ebony Analog

Folks, I'm glad to report that after a few days of burn-in (I was ill so I didn't even listen to music and just left the system playing on a minimal level) my pair of Extreme II's fulfilled all my expectations and then some. Of course I didn't expect it to blow away my XLR pair of Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II/Matrix Reference II which are great cables and it didn't but in all cases I prefered the warmer and more analogue like sound with Extreme's. The difference was in many ways like switching from CD to LP with more musical highs and mids. Even some very harsh CDs sound absolutely comfortable now. Guess now my next purchase would be 3 power cords and if they perform as well then speaker cable!
