Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

Sts, I agree. I am very happy with the SR products in my system. Synergistic Research and Gabriel Gold both deserve the highest marks -- not only for the quality of their products but also for their excellent customer service.

Being a fan of Gabriel Gold (I have the Rapture R ICs and SCs and they were better than many I have tried for last 10 years), I decided to give a try to recently released Fusuion Audio Romance-2 ICs based on some very postivie comments on the web. Eric Love, the owner of the Fusion Audio is the nicest and honest person to deal with. He gladly agreed to demo me the availabale brand new pair. Well, both cables develop the same signature sound, and no wonder, they both made partially from gold. All hi-fi attributes are the same and there in spades. But what I liked about Fusiion Romance-2 cables, that they are more natural sounding with better texture without (like ingecting SET flavor to SS gear) sacrificing nothing at all. I decided to keep them and cant be happier. They for sure deserve to be tried.
I am not in any way associated with Fusion, just a very happy customer recommendig another great brand that do not cost a fortune but provides with awesome sound.

Steve, I think I finally got the direction correct. Finally. I have made a lot of changes to my system in the past few months -- swapping cables and playing with tweaks. The GG Reflections -- ICs, PC and SCs -- will definitely not be swapped out. They are great. I do have the Reflection XLR ICs in series with 2 other ICs. Whatever got into my head to put ICs in series has worked out very well for me. The Reflections produce beautiful sound on their own but there is so much more that this combination produces in terms of "being there" -- in my system -- YMMV. I'll be writing a system revue in a while once everything is in place. Thanks again, Steve, for your great cables.

I have a Rapture IC and a Rapture PC and could not be more pleased. Excellent!
