Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

antonkk-i have not heard the new GG entry level cable,but I can say that I've read that the Extreme MK 2 interconnects are as good or a bit better than the original Revelation,so you may be quite happy once you get them.I had the original Rev and they were killer.

I also had the original Revelation AC cords a couple of years ago and they worked great in my system.

Prior to the GG's my AC Cords were a mix of some very good cords (Stealth,HT Magic,Siltech and Essence).Some of the cords worked very good in some spots and not so good in other spots.Had to play around a lot to get best results as my system changed.The GG's worked wherever I put them with almost the exact same sonic benefit.(Tone,Texture,Harmonics,vocals,etc)

If the new AC Cord is as good as the original Revelation it may work out great for you.

btw- I heard the new Revelation MK 2 interconnects and I found them to sound much better than the original version and that says a lot,but,still not like the Rapture which I use throughout my system now.

TVAD,

Try some Rapture cables and forget about the other upgrade/new version cables by GG.

If you want I may send you a pair to try out.

What's the price for a pair of 1 meter Rapture ICs?

$1995 for 1 meter Rapture ICs?

Too spendy for me. I'll stick with Purist Audio Venustas @ ~$600 pair.

Thanks for the offer, though, Glory.

Grant (Tvad), I would suggest that you take Gary (Glory) up on his offer. Gary is one of AudiogoN's best, with no doubt. He let me demo one of his GG Rapture cables....and in a word they are absolutely stunning. They are by far the best cables I have ever heard if you enjoy a more forward presentation. The GG Rapture smoke the Virtual Dynamics Revelation cables, IMHO.

I do feel that the Rapture is one of the top 10 interconnects in the world, and I have heard many, many interconnects. I do thank Gary for the opportunity to listen to the Rapture, and I do recommend that you (Grant) take Gary up on his generous offer.

Cheers,
John
