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.

I own two pair of the original Gabiel Gold interconnects and was shocked at the transpariency of these IC's. They are an instant change for the better. Open, detailed and just plain musical. I recently ordered two pair of the Gabriel Gold Extreme's from Steve and will post my findings after they break in 100 hours or so. Steve is about the music as are the Gabriel Gold IC's.

Now you have me wanting the Revelation and I can't imagine how the sound can get any better. Knowing the difference between the originals and the Gabriel Gold Extremes, I believe you. Steve has found some magic here.
I have had the Gabriel Gold Extremes for a week now, replacing two pairs of the original Gabriel Golds. I have about 50 hours on them. Right out of the box the Extremes were better than the originals. The originals replaced Audio Magic Sorcerer IC's and the Gold's were in a league of their own. The Extremes were instant keepers, but I wanted to give them some time to burn as Steve told me they take about 40 hours to change and about 100 hours to fully break in. I was gone all day and let the rig play all day. When I came home, I was shocked how clear, clean, open, and detailed the music is. I can pick any instrument and follow every detail of the musician. Highs are extended. Bass is tight and not rolled off. Voice is crystal clean. These cables are exciting and engaging. I don't know how Steve does it. The Gabriel Gold Extremes let the music through period. Thanks Steve!
I have had the Gabriel Gold Extremes in my rig for two weeks and the music is incredible. Piano notes are like standing beside the piano, hearing the notes being struck, crisp and clean. Bass is tight and mids to die for. I have no idea what the Revelation brings to the equation, but the Extremes are great cables.
the gg's have bested all cables i have tried including some pretty seriouis mega buck big potato guys like siltech ftm4sg, stealth metacarbon and analysis plus golden ovals. but, hearing is believing and if you haven't heard them, speculation is just that and has no really value....a doily twisting in the wind.....a modern day antimacassar oil salesman...
now i still believe that different positions carry more impact on a system's sound but all of those positions sound best with the same cable....and that's the gabriel golds. weird, but true. my opinion, but i don't think i am alone here.

Budburma, your statement is very true. I have found that other cables get in the way of the music. The GG let the music flow, no coloration, no brightnes, just music. The best sound is all GG cables on the componets, no mixing of cables here. Steve has been a class act all the way, that makes him "Big" in my book. I have known a few "Big Fry" dealers who have forgotten that it is about the music.
