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.

Just an update.I started this thread some time ago after hearing the Gabriel Gold Extreme interconnects.
I now feel compelled to elaborate on the newer model called the Revelation 1.These cables to my dismay are even better.
The depth and layering is off the charts.I still think my Extreme cables are up there with the finest in the world,but
the Revelation 1 cables are simply a "Revelation".I still have friends bring other cables over and we do the comparison thing,but when all is done The Gabriel Golds always and easily come out on top.
They sure are!
I just got a pair of the Gabriel Gold Revelation interconnects and they are simply outstanding.
Tonality and structure of the instruments and voice are nothing like I ever heard before.
I actually didn't believe electronics could sound this true to the music.The best money I ever spent on any audio product.
I purchased a balanced pair at auction about a year ago as an experiment. IMO: They are excellent ICs and are well worth what I paid for them. I have recommended them several times on Audiogon threads for their high price to performance ratio.
PS: I believe speaker cables are available but I haven't heard them.
I picked up a pair of the Revelation interconnects and I could not believe what I heard.
Natural timbre,detail with layers and layers of retrieval.
These cables are truer to the music than any other cable that I have ever heard.
I have completely outfitted my system with Gabriel Gold
Revelalation and Extreme IC'c and speaker wire.
The sound is so lifelike and involving it's scary.
Layers and layers upon music.Soundstaging,imaging and detail
are awesome.
The GG's look and sound nothing like the Z-Squared and use a totally different material.(I owned Z-Squared about a year ago)
I would have to say that cosmetically and sonically the only cable I have owned that came anywhere near the sound of
the GG's were the Stealth Indra IC's.
If you can get a hold of a pair of these great cables(build quality/sonics)I say go for it.
They pop up now and then on auction direct from the designer and can usually be had for a steal.
They seem to be made of the same gold alloy wire that a lot of other people are using. What kind of connectors are they using?

Has anyone compared them to the other gold alloy based ICs like the z-squared?
I've found the Gabriel Gold ICs to be first rate. In my system, they beat Harmonic Tech and Cardas Neutral Ref, which I consider to b a tough wire to beat. The Gabriels brought out dynamic textures without adding brightness or glare. A terrific wire at a terrific price. I hope they come out with a speaker version.
I bought some some about a year ago when they first came out.I also ended up using them thru-out my system.

I have also tried a lot of cables out there and never heard as much effortles inner detail.
Instruments and voices took on the most natural sound I have heard to date.
