Yes, I have all Rapture I/C's in my system and have no intention of ever changing. There are no more superlatives left in my lexicon to express how fantastic I think these I/C's are in every way. They have been in my system with both tube and ss gear and their performance has never waivered from the best I have heard. Period-o. End of story. Never looked back. Sold American. Buy 'em!
I have tried all the Stealth line of I/C's except the Indra. While they all had their individual virtues, in the end they didn't deliver the entire sonic and emotional package. Their virtues were many, but I eventually I had to move on.
The Hybrid MLT's are a different story. They are amazing speaker cables and a bargain at what you can get them for at used prices here on A-gon. BUT, the Raptures have me captured; and a happy prisoner I am! I am saving my pennies and measuring the length I need and making way for a trial of those bad boys. I think Steve's products are unmatched and far and away the best.
It's unusual for one designer to be able to make IC's. PC's and SC's that all sit on the same excelsior pedestal breathing such a rarified sonic atmosphere. I use a combination of BMI Hammerhead Gold and Rapture PC's. Both are amazing with the Rapture being a little more forward in my system. It has brought the most out of my Plinius P8 than any other cord (and I have tried close to 2 dozen). Detail, pace, balance, staging and emotional impact are all imbued with the same nuanced palate that makes Gabriel goodies the most delicious gourmet aural experience I have had the pleasure of having. Glorious Gluttony!
It may well be that when I can afford the SC's that all will fall into sync and the full Rapture will be upon me! Can't wait!
