Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
bravo!!!I applaud the designer that evolves and does not rest upon his previous accomplishments 
CDP with volume and digital input...Which one?
Krell KPS 20il with Gabriel Gold Rapture into a Plinius SA 100 mk III is where I'm at.You can really hear how good the cable is when there is only 1 in the loop direct to your amp

rja how do they look ? the picture looks cool!! 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
solid points made by jmcgrogan.I should have mentioned in my thread that although the Gabriels are my preference both sonically and asthetically,all the cables mentioned by jmcgrogan outperformed the multi-dollar Siltech,Nordost,Transparent,etc at...

I found quite the opposite.I had a chance to listen to the Jade Hybrid and the KCI and prefer the Gabriel Gold interconnects.Although the Jade and the KCI are great sounding cables they have their own distinct colorations.Granted some systems need...

I believe Steve will be adjusting his burn-in time estimatefor the Gabriel Gold Revelations.The cables really take about 250-300 to fully break-in.The cables do experience sonic changes at about 40/100 and 150,however at about 300 hours you have E...

I agree Bob there are far too many cables out there that are overly detailed with trumped up bass.That is why so many people switch out a component and then have to switch out a cable too.The one thing I noticed and seems to be fact is the synergy...

rja The interconnects have been out longer than the speaker wire and ac cords so there are probably not as many spaeker wire sets out there yet.Plus I don't think I've everseen the speaker wire or ac cords up for auction yet.Hopefully there will b...

I've heard some good things about Virtual Dynamics and Jade.Some interesting comparisons are sure to come in the future it seems

That should be an interesting a-b considering the differences in price,etc

In my opinion the Eichmann connector is one of,if not the best out there.It does not interfere with the cable.The less interaction the better.Some people will pay big dollars for audio jewelry that looks beefy and sounds like @#$%. 
Help My Krell amp is too big.
I would say go with either the EVO 402 or step down to a 400cxYou'll hear a drastic improvement with the 402 and should not be giving anything up except pounds going with a 400cx 
Neutral cables for hi-resolution, imaging system?
I will have to concur with member bobf.I heard of these ic's from a friend of mine who is both a musician and an audiophile.I saw a pair on Audiogon a while back and purchased a pair at a very fair price.By adding a single pair between my source a...

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. 
What to upgrade from Bluenote Koala? $3500 ish
Congratulations!Will you being running the BAT balanced or s/e with the adapters ?The BAT will definately be a more linear player with great dynamics and lower frequency deliniation.In my opinion the BAT will not be as musical and entertaining as ...
