Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

member budburma's post may contain the answer to your qusstion and far better than I can express in words

In my system the Rapture smoked the Rev. MK2.

Buy them as fast as you can.

If you are looking for an excellent IC at a very reasonable price you need to check out Steve's new Extreme MK2 - clean, clear, well balanced, and natural sounding.

facten =any experience with any other GG cables?.
I heard from another member that the new Extreme mk 2 is on par with the original Revelation and maybe better in some ways.
I had the original Rev myself and now have the rev mk2.
In my system the Rev mk 2 has better bass,depth and imaging than the original Rev.A very BIG improvement.
member (glory) claims the Rapture smokes the Rev mk 2. if that is indeed true I can't imagine there being a finer cable available than the rapture
One thing for sure it's cool that Steve at GG is somehow building even better cables than before while keeping prices the same or in the case of the Extreme mk 2 even lower.
I'll have to check these new extremes out

One problem in comparing these is that we should know the approximate date they were made. For instance, I'm not sure the earlier Raptures are or sound exactly the same as more current Raptures. Hate to throw cold water on this discussion but this was alluded to in a conversation with Steve.
My assumption (emphasize "assumption") is that an early Rapture may be closer to a recent Rev mk2 because the Rapture has changed over time.
If I'm incorrect in this assumption perhaps Steve could step in to illuminate us. If I'm correct then comparisons must be qualified.
I do agree that the Gabriels are outstanding cables at their respective price points although I must admit that I've not heard them all.
Disclosure: I've owned original Extreme and currently using Rev mk1 xlr and 2 runs of Rev mk1 speaker cables. I have used early Raptures in my system for several weeks.
