Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

EMM CDSA-SE and GG Reflection (rca) = excellent match

Sutts, I second that emotion. I am using the GG Reflection PC, SCs and ICs, as well as other non-GG cabling. Also, changing the stock EMM fuse to the Furutech T2A (green) has made a big improvement but adding EVS Ground Enhancers and Synergistic Research MiGs has improved the sound even more -- sound stage wider and deeper and more full and more detailed.

I've been reading and reading till early morning hours; what a great thread! I'm rather new to Audiogon but definitely understand the need for speed, dynamics, imaging, depth etc. and it sounds like Steve's GG effect has made music much more enjoyable to many. I call a toast to the man:)

The best tweak was when I installed a matched pair of 1958 Mullard Ecc82 long plate tubes into my preamp for the first time and was escorted straight to nirvana. Wow!

I don't even have a power conditioner (don't laugh); everything is plugged in to the walls directly (one circuit with premium 12 gauge wire to the meter). My IC's are Audioquest King Cobras and a pair of custom silver plated IC's for the mains.

My question is, if I go with a GG Reflection power cord (for starters; I can't afford to buy one for each component) and connect it from the wall to a multi plug power strip to feed all other components, would that impart the GG sound characteristics I've read about to ALL my gear?

Or should I get the Reflection IC's as a first tweak?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Personally, I'd go for the IC before the PC.
