Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

jmcgrogan-I looked at the ad again, there is only reference to 8ft lengths in speaker wire pricing.There is pricing on bi-wire though.I know from experience that some manufacturers don't like making short runs.I got a 6ft pair of Gabriel Gold Revelations and it was not a problem.

hey now, a rainy sunday and the terminals were humming@a-gon. steve is exceptionally easy to work with, but letting the customer set the price is on a different astral plane!

rja-the gg's wire is already cryo'ed, did the aftermarket cryo treatment make a difference?

pat-what are the other two gold cables? i have heard and compared the analysis plus and still own the gabriels. jade audio (thanks, john) looks interesting...i really do like amalgams though....

anyone tried steve's pc's?

Buburma,

The other two are Jade Hybrids and KCI Au Pur79.

regarding the pricing.I myself really appreciate that Steve
tries to work with members if possible.I know he has set pricing on standard lengths and that the auction prices vary,but after I got 1 pair of GG's on auction and wanted speaker wire Steve tried his best to work with me.I've dealt with Steve enough to know that he works with people and is more than fair.I don't believe he let's customers set the price.
Maybe he may ask "what I have in mind " to gauge my budget or needs.How hany other places can you get a product of this quality from some one who actually cares and tries to help.I myself hope that he continues to auction and works with folks instead of having the cables go into mass production with price increases.
This is just my opinion

Budburma,
I would say that the cryoing I did made little or no difference. Again, I bought the cables as an experiment so I did the cryo thing. I checked with Steve to make sure that cryoing was OK from a damage stand point. He suggested that additional treatment probably wouldn't make much difference and he was right.
