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, the GG rev work "just" fine is my system, abit of harsh, i am not sure its the ic or my systems, it is so revealing that every bit of the music is portray out clearly. hows your silkworm evaluation goes?

thanks Electro77 for the insight. i got the idea now.

this threat going interesting, head to head on GG R and Jade hybrid. keep us posted on your views, Jmcgrogan2 and glory. and whats the systems being associated with the opinions.

I think all the cable is systems dependent. just swapping the PCs (OFC and silver coated copper) amongst the cdp, pre and amp do make it sound different. likewise when i swap IC between cdp and amp. all sound different. i think this hobby really need trial and errors.
77,

I would like to know your take on the Silkworm.

I need a .5M and may take the one up on auction. It would be used on my Lector T7 MK3.
...they offer a lot more space,depth and air.
And here I thought the GG Rev cables were already touted as the 3D king. You mean there really was room for improvement? You mean like the Jade Hybrid? 8-)

I don't really feel like getting into another "my interconnect's better than your interconnect" yelling match on the boards...
Good point but these cable threads can be entertaining.
Oooh, so the Jade Hyrbid and GG Rapture are finally going to go head-to-head? I'll waiting for the results of this one with bated breath...

On another note: Milen007, I emailed you my personal thoughts on the Jade Hybrid, Jade Vermeil, KCI Silkworm, and GG Revelation interconnects. I don't really feel like getting into another "my interconnect's better than your interconnect" yelling match on the boards...

If you get the opportunity you should listen to the Gabriel Raptures they offer a lot more space,depth and air.

if the GG Revelation is working out for you than your best bet is to just wait on another.
Or you can watch for new MK 2 Revelation on auction.

Get the GG Rapture as it is 30/40% better than the Rev. I have A/B Audio Note Sogon and Kondo KSL LP with the Rapture and the GG smoked both of them.

You might try out the Rev. MK2.

How does the GG Rev. work in your system?

I am about to try out a Silkworm .5M on my Lector T7 MK3 and will report back on my findings.
Hi john, thanks for the respond, maybe i need to rephrase my question. whats the characteristic of the cables mentioned above?

as with john description for vermeil, "I prefer the Jade Vermeil/Hybrid cables in my system. To my ears, they present a deeper stage with more space around the players"

i have GG revelation on my systems now and can be used as reference

i need another gold ic to replace my VanDenHul.
Yes, we don't want to start a war here, so let's tread lightly. I have heard Jade Vermeil/Hybrid, GG Extreme/Revelation, Awesound Golden Pyramid and Audio Metallurgy GA-0 in my system.

First off, these are all excellent cables with the distinct sound that one only gets from gold. Secondly, the differences between these gold cables are not as large as the differences between gold and copper or silver cables.

All that said, I prefer the Jade Vermeil/Hybrid cables in my system. To my ears, they present a deeper stage with more space around the players. I know this is not everyone's cup of tea, some prefer a more forward presentation, and that's fine.

You will get many different replies, all claiming their personal favorites.
Unfortunately, the only way to really tell which one is for you is to listen in your own system, and compare them side by side. We can't tell you which one YOU will like better in YOUR system......sorry.
Maybe you should keep your eyes peeled on the classifieds, and see if you can find used ones. These are small manufacturers, and they don't come up for sale often, but they do come up occasionally. there is a 1 meter pair of GG Revelations up for sale now. That way you can compare them side by side in your system. If you like them, keep them. If you don't, you can turn around and sell them w/o losing much $$$.

Good luck,
John
