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.

What makes these cables different than a DIY pair that you can make yourself? Appears to be terminated with Eichman Bullet plugs and the signal wire Audio Metallurgy. I just don't understand the $$$ spent on these cables.

Has anyone had any experience using them in full-range systems combined with tube SET amps?

Reb1208 -These cables are nothing like a DIY cable.
Have you seen them? or heard them?
The wire is nothing like the Audio Metallurgy wire and the internal design is quite complicated.
If you owned Stealth Indra,Nordost and Virtual then heard and seen these cables you would realize what a bargain they are.
Just muy opinion on the sound,however regarding build quality,design and material this is a fact

In my opinion the Eichmann connector is one of,if not the best out there.It does not interfere with the cable.The less interaction the better.Some people will pay big dollars for audio jewelry that looks beefy and sounds like @#$%.

I love the forum for discussion,however,I am always bewildered when some who does not own,heard or seen a product in person always seems to have the keenest insight.
I own the GG's and would say that the build quality and sound of these cables rival if not surpass anything that I have heard in 30 years.Stealth Indra could be considered DIY along with Shunyata and many other meticulously hand built cables.
