I will have to concur with member bobf.
I heard of these ic's from a friend of mine who is both a musician and an audiophile.
I saw a pair on Audiogon a while back and purchased a pair at a very fair price.By adding a single pair between my source and preamp it truly transformed my system.
The tones were so true that I believe I could tell you what kind of strings Demeola was using on each and every guitar he played.I have since directly purchased a 2nd pair and plan on taking the plunge on some spaeker wire soon.
I had used Nordost in the past which is also a great cable when it comes to imaging and resolution just not as natural sounding as the Gabriel Golds.A more affordable option is the Mapleshade interconnects.
The Mapleshades are delicate to work with and can sound a little lean at times but image great.
