Question concerning db sensitivity
A "generalization" like this, however, is absolutely no substute for auditioning and narrowing your choice to speakers that you personally like the sound of, which I suspect was really John and Tvad's point.Shadorne Yes, now you have at least my P... 
Question concerning db sensitivity
Your statement is as one sided as it is inaccurate. How can you possibly say that speaker sensitivity and amplifier power have NOTHING at all to do with sound quality? ShadorneI've heard good quality, low sensitivity speakers, I've heard good qual... 
why don't they get it?
Understand this now, and your life will be much simpler:You never will understand, so don't bother trying. It will only upset you further, and annoy the female. Learn to chuckle, and say "yes dear, it sure is ugly". Of course you still buy it anyw... 
Question concerning db sensitivity
There is no truth to this. Speaker sensitivity has no more to do with sound quality than amplifier power, which is zilch.John 
Is there a optimum lenght for power cables?
Your dealer is full of sh!t, to put it bluntly. Explain then why 1.5 meters is the most common length. He's just trying to make more money. I don't know that there is an optimum length. I've noticed MUCH more difference between different power cor... 
"Is that a record??? "
Alright, I guess my intent was not to bash USPS employees. The Postmaster, and the woman both seemed like normal, regular folks. I was the nut job here, for not realizing how out of touch I was with reality.I'm not saying that there are no stupid ... 
"Is that a record??? "
Good thing I didn't mention the vacuum tubes, huh? 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Clio09, it is hard for me to elaborate, as I'm not a professional reviewer, but I will try. To my ears, in my system, the cables/cords that I've owned from Stealth, Jade Audio and PAD present a more natural, realistic instrumental colors and hues,... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
I haven't heard any Gabriel's yet, however, from reading the threads it would seem they are more comparable to the Jade and Stealth cables than to the Virtual Dynamics. I've owned Stealth, Jade and Virtual Dynamics, amongst many others. The Virtua... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
I didn't mean to insinuate that Steve is letting the customer set the price. He has his standard prices on his standard lengths. He doesn't have pricing on non-standard lengths though. That's why when I e-mailed him to ask what a 1 meter pair of R... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Darealjaydee, thanks, I've seen that ad. However, it only has a price for a standard 8 foot single wire pair. It does not address prices for bi-wire or longer/shorter lengths. Anyone looking for anything other than a 8 foot single wire pair will n...

Pat, I await to hear about your impressions.John 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Hey Gary,LOL, this is turning into some kind of a reunion here, running into Art and yourself in the same thread. So I'm your cable guy, huh Gary? I've been told that I resemble that Jim Carrey character at times. :)Actually Pat (Rx8man) first tol... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Hello Art,WOW! Thank you so much for that very detailed reply. You defintely have wet my whistle. I will certainly have to investigate these cables further now. I've already been in contact with Steve about a pair of speaker cables. I'll probably ... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
I'm considering some of these cables now. Besides Bobf's saying he prefers them to the Stealth Indra, could anyone else share their experiences? What cables did you compare the GG to? What areas did the GG's exceed the other cables in?TIA,John
