Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

cool, jd. i hope to hear those goodies along with your cables one day! i checked out your system and i think our sound preference is pretty similar. of course, i have a somewhat pared down version, but it's working well for me now...i just wish i hadn't sold my sa-201....oh well, no problems, no worries. this is a great hobby (like i keep telling my wife when more boxes arrive: 'it's a "hobby" and hobbies don't end until they're no fun anymore.') or as yodi berra sez, it ain't over 'til its ended! enjoy the tunes! best, art

"""""""""Finally, I heard the GG Rev. on my system and was very impressed. These are great cables, I was not surprised with the tonality, in that this is proving to be a common denominator with gold wire. I was most excited to find that we both make very good cables that I feel have raised the bar for interconnects. I think it is important that the early gold cable manufacturers are beyond peoples expectation if the industry is going to join the few pioneers who are trying gold. If we succeed, then the entire industry succeeds because others with much larger R&D budgets can expand on what we are learning.

For me this is not a competition, it is a hobby that many of us are very passionate about. If GG can raise the level of performance, and if I can follow with another excellent product, then I see us all winning."""""""

Jadem6,i must say these words say a lot positive things about you.

I wish i could A/B test your best product against GG rev. in my home system which is still being built.
Silverline Sinfonia speakers,Vallhalla speaker cables,6 monoblocks - all custom made etc.

Unfortunatelly,this is impossible as i live in Croatia.Very far away.

I hope both you and Steve will have a lot of success with your products.And your bears are a great touch :)

Fiddler:

You ever get around to an audition?

Fla - not yet.

I am busy upgrading my power cords from EG Epiphanys to Stealth Dreams. And I just installed V-Caps in my DAC and preamp so I have been busy with other things. But I still want to audition the GG Revelations at some point, including the speaker cables.

I am currently using a Stealth Varidig Sextet BNC/BNC digital cable, 2 Audio Metallurgy IC's and Stealth Hybrid MLT speaker cables and my system sounds the best it has ever sounded by a looooong shot.

The Audio Metallurgys were purchased on a lark and I was shocked at the result. I never thought a $200 IC would reside in my system, but I am mightily impressed. That's why I am interested in the GGs. If they significantly improve upon what the AMs do, then I am in. I guess the question will be to what degree, if any, the GGs will better the AMs. Time will tell.

But one thing is for certain. There is magic in that gold alloy wire!

Funny you should say that. I have just replaced Zu Varial, preceded by Stealth Indra and Cardas GR with AM Zeros and GG Revelations and I am thrilled, despite the fact that they are both brand-new with less than 50 hours on them. I have just won a second AM Zero on auction. There is, indeed, magic in them gold.............
