Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

I have two words for you gary:
"Financial constraints"

Joe :-(

always have to work within the budget jc. As you know the mk 2 is a very special cable especially when compared with the higher priced stuff out there.Glory is right the rapture is much better but even the original Revs have replaced some "big time" cables .I was using a highly regarded cable that has an incredible amount of discussion here on agon and found the revs to be on par with. I find the mk2s to be better yet.If you can swing a pair of rev mk 2s go for it.If your first pair worked well than a second pair may even add more.You can probably trade up in the future anyway.

Budget! also means WAF .Glad I don't have to sneak those boxes in and out anymore(just kidding)
The Raptures are the ticket just cost a little more to get better seats at the show.

I pulled the trigger and am waiting for my raptures to be delivered. All I can say is that they better DELIVER ME!

you sound a little hesitant in your decision.
Hope they come thru for you
