Gabriel Gold vs Marigo vs NBS

I got a pair of used GG Revelation 2 XLR ICs didn't sound remotely like what's being raved here. They sound way too warm. I lost details, soundstage, bass articulation, etc. The female vocal sounds burred. Everything just doesn't sound right compared to my NBS Master and Marigo Audio Labs 8.8.

Does GG requires very very long break-in, or something I missed?

My setup has Wadia (preamp) + Llano A200 (amp)/Kora Galaxy Ref(amp) + NBS Professional speaker cables + Granite Audio digital coax + Vienna Acoustics Mahler speakers.

Hi,
I played with a complete NBS Black Label II cable system for many years and liked it a lot. Until I got the opportunity to audition some Jorma Prime cables. Man, this blew me completely away. They sound so clear and real! And so easy to listen to and cannot hear any technical artifacts here. There is a review in Positive Feedback which tells exactly what I experience with them.
At the moment i am replacing all NBS cables with the Jorma Prime.
