Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

I think the trial period will make even more people check the Gabriel's out and based on what I've heard from them.I don't think they'll be too many round trip shipments.

I'm looking forward to auditioning the Gabriel Rev MK IIs.
Seems like everyday someone is trying to copy or compare there cables against the Gabriels.I guess imitation is the greatest form of flattery.I got a strong feeling that with a line-up of Rev.mk2 s,Rapture-that's what i use-and "more to come" will certainly widen the performance cap between the Gabriel's and others

Here's my 2 cents as I've owned every version from the original Extreme almost 3 years ago to the Revelation last year to the Rapture presently.
The Extreme was a giant killer with a nice warm and organic sound.The Revelation had more detail with just a bit smaller soundstage left to right and front to back.
But the Revelation extracted a lot more inner detail and had better harmonic and tonal stucture.I heared things with the Revelations that I never did before and that's tough to give up once heard.
The Raptures are about 30-40% better sounding than the Revelation and I know that's a huge percentage but a pretty accurate one.The Raptures are more dynamic with a huge stage with a musicians in the room type feel,big stage,warm,detailed and effortless.
If the Revelation MK 2 is 75 or 80% of the Rapture and comes in at or about the same price of the original Revelation it will be a great offering in my opinion and sure to make some noise out there.
The Revelation was or is still an awesome sounding cable.
Now if Steve comes out with something above the Rapture that's a different story as I am so locked in to my sound right now I don't need any temptation at this point.
Please don't make me take a bite out of that apple!

I have to agree with Bobf....and his assessments. I have heard all of the GG versions as well. The Raptures are sooooo good, that I just don't have the urge to keep going....But, as Oscar Wilde said "I can resist anything except temptation itself." Start with getting the Raptures cooked and save some pennies. If Steve says they are better, I would have ot take him at his word and give it a try. Gotta' love the apples!
