Gold interconnect comparison help

I think all the cable is systems dependent. just swapping the PCs (OFC and silver coated copper) amongst the cdp, pre and amp do make it sound different. likewise when i swap IC between cdp and amp. all sound different. i think this hobby really need trial and errors.

Bingo! That's why much of this is pointless. Folks can tell you what THEY like in THEIR system to THEIR ears, but they CANNOT tell YOU what WILL sound best in YOUR system to YOUR ears. Afterall, we are not simply dealing with system synergy here, you have to allow for room interactions AND personal tastes vary too. Too many variables.

It's harder than telling someone what kind of wine they will like best, where only personal tastes are involved, no room/system interactions.

Milen007,
Are you sure it's the GG Rev that's "a bit of harsh" in your system? Have you replaced the GG to make sure the "harsh" isn't present without them?
The word "harsh" just doesn't fit my experience with the GG Rev cables.

Revelation = "to reveal,to remove the veil."
essentially hearing what's there for better or worse.
Got a system or a room problem you may just hear it now!
these cables are not tone controls.

Well, the word "harsh" actually fits my experience with the GG Revelations... Perhaps it was simply a system or room problem, but why should I spend mega bucks on a component upgrade which may or may not fix the problem when there are other cables out there that sound better in my system?

Interestingly, I looked it up and Revelation also means "God's disclosure of Himself and His will to His creatures". Hmmm... Food for thought.

Rja, i did replace with my old IC but the harsh tone down, so hardly any harsh with old IC. BUT, less detail, less soundstage and less dynamic and all. two IC is actually different league, VDH D102 and GG rev, so no way to compare.

with GG there is no harsh when listening at slightly less than my normal listening volume, but getting fatigue once above my listening volume

i think it might be the systems that sounds harsh, thats why i do not blame the GG IC. I will still keep it as it really sound very good at slightly below my normal listening volume.

Havent got the chance to try GG rev on friend's systems (which is better system than mine)
