Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

They don't have any markings, but I found them to be directional. Once they are broken in try changing their direction, whichever gives you a taller soundstage is the right way.

they are non-directional

bob they are non directional but if they are run in one direction for an extended period I believe they essentially become directional.I use the Heatshrink labels as my direction and always run them the same way.
I found this to be true when I was also using Cardas Golden Reference.They eventually become directional.
It's not like they don't sound awesome if I were to spin them around.They most likely adapt which ever way you hook them up

Jim, i agree, but once you put the other direction in awhile. it sound good again. hence needs time to burn in or something. i just want to add that i am a very satisfied customer of GG rev. superb cable with scary resolution. will reveal any imperfection from the source.

It won't hurt to keep them in the same direction, but most directional cables are directional because of their extrusion during manufacture or the single crystal metals they use. I guess you could argure that the metal would align on a molecualr level according to electrical flow. Makes ome intuitive sense anyway.

Bobf-How about those speaker cables? Crazy good? how long of a run do you have? I am using the Stealth MLT's, how do they compare?

Thanks!
