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.

Audioforever,
Received Raptures today and they are in my system. I don't know if they are brand new or not so will let them burn-in a while. I'll try to post my impressions in a day or two. Real nice of Steve to let me check them out.
BTW: I've owned the original Gabriel Gold and currently using the GG Revelation XLR ICs. Also using bi-wire GG Revelation speaker cables.

Audioforever,
Just received an e-mail from Steve. He says break-in time on the Raptures is 250-300 hours.

This may sound a bit weird but I had eye surgery last Thursday. I think they are very, very dark blue or black. They look better than the Revelations to me.

Hi rja you can still see okay! the Raptures are a Navy blue with Black internal markings.Sort of like blue/black snake skin in appearance.
They sound great fresh,but wait till they get some hours on them and you'll really be groovin'
