Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

It was asked earlier in this thread if the wire in the Gabriels was the same wire that Audio Metallurgy uses in their cables. Someone posted it was not the same.

I wonder how the poster knows this to be a fact. Just curious.

I have tried the Audio Metallurgy GA-0's and have found them to be exceptional. I have also noticed that numerous other cable manufacturers are now using the "gold alloy" wire in their cable designs. It seems that the gold alloy wire is not proprietary and apparently it is available if one knows where to buy it.

It could be that the results that this wire is producing says more about the wire than the cable design. The GA-0's have produced the same enormous soundstage, clarity, imaging and tonality in my system that others have described here with the Gabriels.

Having said that, I want to order a pair of the "Revelations" and compare them to the Audio Metallugy GA-0's. If the Gabriels are that much better I will be shocked -- but elated.

bobf I know what you mean about not being able to explain what the Golds do.How can speakers magically make the musicians invisible in your room.No one would ever believe you. But we know they are there don't we !!!!!!

Bobf, it's good to hear your opinions! :)

I for one would be very interested to hear about the GG power chords, particularly since I'm looking for new chords..

There is a member that sells Gold Alloy Wire here on Audiogon in bulk by the foot.

Bobf just just made a comment to the effect that "it was actually scary that electronics could do this." That was one of my immediate impressions with the GG Revelations. I never knew that my amp and CD player could sound this good (I knew my speakers should be able to, though). In a way, it has given me a sense of the limititations of my gear, as I am assuming that I am now hearing the upper limit of my CDP and amp's capabilities. They sound great, but I now have food for thought regarding any upgrading that I will do to those two components, as I believe that I have found the true character of those components. I think I have definitely found my "reference component" in the GG cables.
