Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Clio09 - Yes, I was kinda late with trying out the RS products. The Haley was a nice step forward in adding more clarity to the system. It impressed me so much I suggested to a couple friends to try it out. And they too were equally impressed.Keep...

Audiobuzz: Your concerns are fair and yet any conclusions you make are wrong. You can insinuate all that you wish. If you pay attention to some of my comments early on with the Jade Vermeil and Gold cables, you will see that I had some concerns wi...

Soundstage,depth of field,height of stage,detail,bass and even greater tonality and textures which these cables are becoming famous for occur after the 300 hour mark.Wow! That pretty much covers it for a perfect cable. I went into the GG Revelatio... 
12" Arm for Clearaudio Turntable
If the Champ II is like many Clearaudio TT's with pod-mounted armboards, you can have an armboard made to accommodate virtually any arm. You have to follow the arm-pivot-to-spindle-center distance for that specific arm, adjust the cartridge overha...

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 EUPHORIAWhat actually is changing from 150 to 300 hours? Are we talking tonality changes as i... 
JADE AUDIO Cables
Good points, John. I have the same situation now where a 4-feet pair would work well. But I am likely to go with a longer pair that would be more universal. Ideally, for summer months, I need to find a cooler but similarly performing stereo amp to... 
Early Stealth Indras vs, later versions
I am not sure that all Indras without the titanium connectors would be classified as beta cables. Many were made with Cardas connectors before the Stealth connectors came along. These Cardas-RCA-based Indras perform mighty well in my system. I jus...

I finally got a chance to get a sneak preview of the Jade speaker cables. For the last year or so I have been using PAD Opis speaker cables. These have a great tonal coherency to lock in well between the CAT JL-3 amps and SoundLab A1 speakers. The... 
Review: VTL TL 6.5 Tube preamp
Wow! What a most impressive report. Thank you for sharing. 
Any experience with the Audio Research PH7?
The best Audio Research is always the next model.My experience indicates that this is often not the case. 
Why are there no high end cheater plugs?
Why not open each component and desolder the ground wire from the IEC connector?

Clio09 - As recommended by the manufacturer, I hope you burn the cables in for 150 hours before sharing any final thoughts on the GG's. And I assume the 150 hours implies a signal going through the cables and not simply connected to two components...

I too have heard the claim that speaker cables should be 8-feet lengths but this never made much sense.....no more than digital cables need to be 1.5m instead of 1m. Afterall, how long is a speaker cable in an active speaker or a digital cable bet...

Hi Osgorth, I have gotten a lot of email inquiries about many things lately. For now I prefer to hold off and not disclose the cable to soon be auditioned. If I get it soon, and run it 4-5 days straight, by next weekend I can do an evaluation to t... 
JADE AUDIO Cables
Osgorth - Unfortunately my system was down for 3 weeks as I had many cables out on loan to two different parties. Some of these got sold; the rest returned late last week. Only this last week have I been able to replace some to have music again. T...
