Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

What I do NOT like are the new much lower prices on auction for supposedly better versions. I have paid Steve like $2,000 for original Reflection IC's- look at the asking prices now...

OUCH! That's gotta hurt!

Sutts - when one wants what they feel is the cutting edge of something at that time it can end up costing quite a bit to have it.

I think our first family Sony beta-max was in the vicinity of $1800($CDN) in the 80's - ouch. $1800 today is a lot of money to me, let alone at that time - I don't think my first 5 beater cars all of which I bought myself, cost me that much all in.

Still, a painful reflection on your part...

Hello - Sutts
The original Reflection use to be the top of the line offering from GG.
The NEW Reflection v2 is now the entry level cable from GG.
I considered dropping the Reflection name and calling it something else, however, I am fond of the name and the cables aesthetics. The projected retail/direct cost of the v2 is LOWER primarily because less Gold is used in the design.However, with the addition of the NEW connector,conductor material and re-worked internal geometry I prefer the sonic character of the v2 over the original.IMHO the V2 is a more organic sounding cable.BTW if you are still using the original Reflection as so many others are,then you are still listening to a great interconnect.I am truly sorry the promotional auctions are having such a negative effect on you.As you may be aware I'm not one for big ad campaigns or reviews.
The money I'm losing on the promotional auctions for the RCA version of the V2 is creating interest from both new and established clients and I am getting great feedback on the NEW v2
The website is in the process of being revamped and will offer info on the GG Essential Line which consist of the Reflection v2 and the soon to be released Impression along with the Premier Line which consist of the Infusion and the HALO products.
If curious an in depth customer review is available on this site along with other sites for the Gabriel Gold Infusion interconnect. An additional customer review of the Reflection v2 by another member is said to be in the works.I still strongly believe the best reviewers are the folks who listen for themselves and trust their own ears.Thank you Audiogon for allowing me to share this info and my thoughts.

Steve- as you do not use a dealer network, and as I have paid you ~ $2,000 for an apparently now 'improved' product that is selling at a faction of that price, I would have thought the least you could do is offer a trade towards a Halo interconnect or something that would show you support a loyal customer (I have two Reflection IC's; Reflection speaker cables; and Rapture R IC's as well).

I have the original reflection interconnects(great product). I have a pair of the new v2 version coming today. Can't wait to see the new website.
So Steve, are you making any new power cables? I have two of the original reflection power cables and like them very much. I will post my findings on the new v2 reflections in the near future
