Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

What makes these cables different than a DIY pair that you can make yourself? Appears to be terminated with Eichman Bullet plugs and the signal wire Audio Metallurgy. I just don't understand the $$$ spent on these cables.

First of all, I meant no insult. DIY cables does not imply amateur build quality. In fact, often DIY cables are of the highest quality. My reference to the use of the Eichman bullet plug was one of approval. As was the use of a "similiar" wire made by Audio Metallurgy. A wire that is of a gold plated alloy construction. I'm sure the GB are well made and sound good, and use a proprietary alloy wire. Based upon the desription of the performance the GB cables produce, as documented in this thread. I hear a "similiar" presentation from my own DIY cables made from the Gold Alloy wire that is available here on Audiogon.

There is a member that sells Gold Alloy Wire here on Audiogon in bulk by the foot.
