Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

the "merry go round" of cables IMO is usually due to the incorrect selection of electronics and the consumers need to mask,color,address flaws in the room,etc or just simply desire change for the sake of change.

That certainly covers all the bases.

LOL!

Guess I'd wonder what cable company doesn't produce various categories of ICs and invent new ones or improve upon older ones over time that you seem to be singling out GG for this. Yours to choose to try or not, suggest they'd be worth doing so.

GG is not unique in this, Facten. You're right.

facten you are correct some cable companies who have been around as long as 20 years are still coming out with different cables every year.I bought my first GG Extreme almost 3 years ago and the MK 2 is just coming out now.IMHO I'd say a little time and thought went into this new cable before it was released.Rushing NEW products to the marketplace on a yearly basis regardles of the quality is ACCEPTED in every other market even the music industry.When artist bang out albums year after year it is usually for the cash/contract agreement and their music most often suffers.When an artist comes out with something every 2,3 or 4 years there tends to be much more substance to their music and lyrics.At least that's how I remember music being and hope it will get there again.Hoping for a 2nd generation of Di meola's,Miles and Coltrane to arrive but still enjoying the "merry go round" they have me on.

I A/B'd the Extreme 2's against the Revelation 1's in my system - I think after doing so that I might like the Extreme's a smidgen more - to my ears the MK 2s seemed little more detailed with maybe slighly more separation - enjoy both though
