Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
That's how I understood it too. RCA only. 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
I thought of that except I need to run XLR since I have vandersteen model 5a XLR x-overs that complement the vandy subs. I could get XLR-rca adaptors but would rather not at this point. I think I will need to shell out big bucks for the 5 meter ca... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
I really like the GG rev mk2 which replaced the Signal Cable between my cd player and pre (see above for impressions). However, I still have a 5 meter length of Signal Cable silver resolution residing between my pre and amp. I believe my system an... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Wow. I am evaluating the GG revelation mk2 and it is impressive. Please bear with my descriptions as I am not an expert reviewer. Great extension; highs that are clean and without edge, lows that are deep and articulate. And a sweet, clear midrang... 
Another Cable Burn-in Question
OP here. I did not have a component other than 2 CD players with balanced outs to break-in the cables otherwise I would have used my tuner. I left the preamp off during most of the burn-in but occasionally listened to music I was very familiar wit... 
ProAc D Two and an amp to live with forever
Pick up a used ARC VT-100 mkii and never look back. I'd be very surprised if you didn't get what you are looking for. 
ARC VT-200 Cooling Fan Noisy, nit picking?
Thanks Mantis. Mine is on its way. 
ARC VT-200 Cooling Fan Noisy, nit picking?
Mantis- who did you purchase from and did it fit exactly and connect easily to existing connector? 
ARC VT-200 Cooling Fan Noisy, nit picking?
Thanks everyone. I searched the forums and see that I am not alone on this issue. I will contact steve at gnsc and see what he has to say about it, I doubt ARC will offer anything better, and the last option which I would consider is removing the ... 
Power Wedge 1 vs Furman Elite 15 PF
Ignore my reply above. Here's why. I've been auditioning an interconnect from Signal cable for my CD player (see "Another cable burn-in question" thread). It would be replacing a much more expensive cable from wireworld. Bottom line: with the wire... 
Another Cable Burn-in Question
This will be my final post on the Signal Cable. I made one significant change and all the issues I had with the Signal Cable resolved. Before I tell you what change that was, let me remind you that I have Signal silver resolution ic running from m... 
Another Cable Burn-in Question
Perhaps. I guess I want it all and for less than $200 for half a meter. I might ask Frank (of Signal Cable) for their copper cable to try. 
Another Cable Burn-in Question
I now have over 100 hours on the Signal SR i/c (see original post) and while the top end has smoothed out it is still just a tad strident for my taste. While this may improve with additional burn in time, I'm not so sure the midrange warmth which ... 
Power Wedge 1 vs Furman Elite 15 PF
I have the Furman. When I connected my ARC vt200 to it the music seemed just a hair louder and more dynamic. I couldn't hear anything detrimental to the music. My pre remained exactly the same; no ill effects as far as I can tell. However, I could...

Thank you!
