Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

Jc,

Where there's a will there's a way.

Get rid of the 5M. It's killing you.

Buy a Sistrum SP-101 ($400.00) or a Sistrum SP-1 ($250.00) and place it next to the amp. The Sistrum stand will beat the living snot out of the stand you have your CDP on.

It looks like you have power on the back wall by the amp. Make sure it is a deadicated line. A 1M will now work for a lot less $$$ than buying a 5M wire.

Glory, I think even Sistrum says that the SP-1 is superior to the SP-101.

Norm,

I did a comparison between the Sp101 and the Sp1..I thought the Sp1 maybe better because of its lower mass and what I thought would be greater reactivity. I can say in my system that the Sp101 sounded better. I used an Audio Research tube amp for this test..weighed in at about 45 lbs. The 101 gave the ARC greater articulation and a slightly more focused stage. Tom

Norm,

The SP-101 is superior to the SP-1, so says Robert at SS. I have found this to be true in my system. It is as good as the HRS M3. I have 4-101's & 2-1's.

JC,

Do I hear an amen?

Bobf,

I canned the Zero thing. Unless the gent is willing to send me his $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (14) GMAB Zero then I am at his mercy.

I did send the Rapture to a friend to hear and he is running JPS Labs Alluminata. I will get to hear his wire in my system. I will report back and forward his E-mail reaponse for all to read.
