Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?


Hi-
Any one else out there using these Gabriel Gold IC's?
I need to know if it is me or if anyone else finds them as good as me.
I bought a pair on auction a while back and compared them to my Stealth cables.
After about a week of going back and forth I found the Gabriel Golds to have bettered my Stealths and bought more.
Is it me?
Just wondering what some other folks who bought them think of them.
Thanks for the input.

Yes, but your few thousand is 'invested' in Tara Labs top of the line jumpers. You have more $$$ invested in your jumpers than your speakers.

Just a thought, maybe if you live in a glass house, you shouldn't throw rocks at others.
The truth can be painful, but it is not dishonest. Now go back to your own thread.
Steve, that is the most amazing thing about Tara Labs, their prices are ridiculously high for basically copper cables. No silver, no gold, no palladium, nothing that would hint at their astronomical prices.

Siltech, Nordost, and others also have ridiculous prices, but none of them would charge that much money for just copper. Tara Labs is pocketing a LOT of cash, even after paying off all of the reviewers and dealers.
Oh, there is dishonesty here, and most folks know where it is coming from Audiolabyrinth. Unfortunately, you have built yourself quite a reputation in the last couple of years since you've joined the forums. Almost everyone is on to you by now.

A word of advice:

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

IMO-You can't put Pirelli P Zero Nero tires on a stock Toyota Camry and think your car is not ready to run Nascar.

Very well put Steve, my thoughts exactly. However, for some, that concept is beyond reach. They will spend years trying to preach how wonderful their tires are, and how it makes their vehicle "world class". Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

the cables here may be good for a few hundred dollars, what I am saying is that none of these here will ever compete with the likes of state of the art cables out there, that is all, the G.G. cables are entry level cables by many audiophile standards, cheers.

Just another audiophool who thinks that sound quality is directly tied to pricing. Tell us Audiolabyrinth, if this is true, then how bad do you inexpensive speakers sound?
Sure, they may be good sounding speakers for a few hundred dollars, what I am saying is that your JBL speakers will never compete with state of the art speakers. Your JBL's are entry level speakers by many audiophile standards, cheers.
I know Cris, the irony is amazing. According to the all powerful Oz (Audiolab), you can get incredible speakers on the cheap. However, you can't find great cables for less money than Tara Labs. Talk about someone who is totally lost! There is no one on these forums more lost than him.

I know he has never heard any of Steve's cables, yet that won't stop him from displaying his ignorance for all to see. LOL! What a total tool!
Sabai,

Why do you feel the need to isolate me from the others?

Obviously many here have issues with Audiolabyrinth and his mental gymnastics. You can see the same on his thread, Taralabs. In general, I treat folks with respect, until they become disrespectful. I only return serve. These forums used to be quite pleasant and fun, with worthwhile reading material, until a couple years ago, when we have seemed to become overrun with shills and arrogant folks who do not realize that there are many ways to audio nirvana.

My main beef with Audiolab is that he feels that expensive Tara Labs cables are the ONLY way to musical bliss. Yes, that type of naivete actually exists. While that in itself is not a bad thing, it becomes a bad thing when it is forced down the throat of others.
Greg (Denon1) thank you for the kind words.
How is your system sounding these days?
Thank you for the lecture Sabai, though I do wonder why you chose to single me out again. You certainly are isolating on me. How could you not read Audiolabyrinth's posts as disrespectful? Perhaps you can also heed your own advice as well, as you have displayed a tendency to snap and become disrespectful as well.

I do find that the minority here, ones that have been shunned by the majority due to their inappropriate behavior, do seem to bond together and join together as a kindred spirit, as you and Audiolab seem to have.

I will take your advice though, and ignore any of your future postings.

I apologize to Steve for side-tracking this thread. Please continue to talk about Gabriel Gold cables, they are quite good bang for the buck.
