Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
I did it. Now my pre and CD are both within 1 meter of each other. Now, rapture or rev mk 2 and where should the better cable be placed if I do get a rapture, at the source? 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Sorry that this thread is getting off the original topic of the gabriel golds but in a sense it is still related. My extreme satisfaction with the GG rev mk2 IC from CD to pre has led me to consider placing all my components close to my amp so tha... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Out of desperation and in an attempt to save some mony, I actually thought about cutting my 5 shelf zoe into a 3 shelf and 2 shelf system to flank my amp. This would leave 4 unfinished "caps "on the posts which could be sanded and polyurethaned. M... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
You certainly have me reconsidering changing things around to accomodate running a shorter IC between amp and pre. While this solves that problem it creates a few more. I'd need to relocate my phono pre, TT, and dvd player to be close to my main p... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Need opinions please. I recently upgraded my cd cable to a GG rev mk2 and am very pleased (understatement!) with the upgrade. I have a 5 meter silver cable from pre to pro that could be upgraded as well. However, it would be less expensive for me ...

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...
