Gold interconnect comparison help


This is a repeatition from my threat at ac forum. any one tried kci silkworms, gabriel gold revelation, jade vermeil gold, antipodes gold or other gold base interconnect? how do you compare them? which one is better in your opinion and why? i would like to tame by abit bright systems. you can use GG rev as reference as i have one

Not to start war or something, i just need some comparison the cables, as i do not have the pleasure to be able to try cables and have the money back guarantees offers. i live in Asia and shipping the package back and forth would cost fortune. thx

glory -- are you saying that the GG Rapture and the Jade Hybrid are in the same league and that the new GG Rev. MK 2
smokes the original Revelation?
Considering the original Revelation is still a giant killer that says a lot for the Rapture,Rev MK 2 and the Jade.
I have GG Raptures in my main system and sold off my 2nd system which includes some GG Revelations(which sold in a day)When I settle in after my move I plan on checking out the Rev.MK 2's.
Could you add any additional info regarding the improvements you found in the MK 2 over the original Revelations
thanks,

with the Gabriel Gold Revelation being discontinued and with the NEW Rev.MK 2 out now there are good deals to be had on the original,but,it sounds like the MK 2 is a much improved cable.
If you A-B the Revelation against the Silkworm it would be nice to know your findings.
A better comparison would be the MK 2 against the Silkworm as members who have both claim it is no contest.The MK 2 is in a different league.
I still think the original Revelation is a great cable though as is the other cables mentioned in this thread.
Sounds like you have the right combination using one of each.
Resolution and warmth
cool,

glory it appears that you are doing a very thorough evaluation and my hats off to you.
Let's not forget that the Revelation MK 1/MK 2 is 1/2 the price of the GG Rapture and Jade Hybrid.If after further evaluation you find that the Revelation MK 2 out performs the original Revelation by 10% than thats a big difference in my opinion.10% in the world of audio is a HUGE number as most members will agree.Also the price for the MK 2 remains the same as the original Revelation.In todays economy how often do you get improved performance,design and appearance without a price increase. When considering the long list of big dollar cables the Revelation has replaced in members systems it is my opinion that the Revelation MK 2 sets the bar very high and are still tough to beat.Certainly if you have the extra thousand bucks go for the Rapture or maybe even the Hybrid as these cables most likely are 2 of the best even if you have no limits to your budget.
good job I look forward to your additional thoughts on the Revelation vs Revelation MK 2

milen007 are you comparing the KCI with the discontinued Gabriel Gold Revelation?
The original is an excellent cable,however,the MK 2 is much better.
check it out if you can
