Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

anybody that believes that silver does not oxidize does not know anything about cables

It does of course oxidize. The relevant questions are:
1. Does it oxidize at an appreciable rate when exposed to air?
2. How does the conductivity of the oxidation product differ from silver itself?

Per this thread on AA is seems that the answer, as is often the case, is "it depends". If you live near a salt marsh or another area with lots of hydrogen sulfide in the air, silver seems like not so good an idea. Otherwise, who knows. Anyways, periodic cleaning of connectors is always a good idea.

Chill out, dude ;-)

I don't know about cheap connectors or anything like that but I can tell you that the new interconnects outperform many cables I have had in the past that were much more expensive, so if Steve can keep the cost down and still have an excellent cable then I am all for that.

Hi Steve, just to clarify, I was just responding to audiolabryinth, I think your cables are great
