Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

Fiddler:

You ever get around to an audition?

Fla - not yet.

I am busy upgrading my power cords from EG Epiphanys to Stealth Dreams. And I just installed V-Caps in my DAC and preamp so I have been busy with other things. But I still want to audition the GG Revelations at some point, including the speaker cables.

I am currently using a Stealth Varidig Sextet BNC/BNC digital cable, 2 Audio Metallurgy IC's and Stealth Hybrid MLT speaker cables and my system sounds the best it has ever sounded by a looooong shot.

The Audio Metallurgys were purchased on a lark and I was shocked at the result. I never thought a $200 IC would reside in my system, but I am mightily impressed. That's why I am interested in the GGs. If they significantly improve upon what the AMs do, then I am in. I guess the question will be to what degree, if any, the GGs will better the AMs. Time will tell.

But one thing is for certain. There is magic in that gold alloy wire!

Funny you should say that. I have just replaced Zu Varial, preceded by Stealth Indra and Cardas GR with AM Zeros and GG Revelations and I am thrilled, despite the fact that they are both brand-new with less than 50 hours on them. I have just won a second AM Zero on auction. There is, indeed, magic in them gold.............

So far the difference between AM Zeros and GG Revelations is the width of the soundstage with the GG Revelations. But they're not nearly broken in yet.

Got a brand new bi-wire set of Revelation speaker cables burning-in as I type this.
After just a few hours they sound very good but the suggested burn-in time is 250-300 hours (note from Steve) so we shall see what extended use brings to the sonic table.
