| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Bobf & Budburma,I think the Raptures are exceptional ICs. Hopefully I didn't imply that they were anything but. However, the differences they exhibited in my system just didn't seem to be as dramatic as you two experienced. In my system the di... | |
| Shipping Expensive Speakers? WATCH OUT Unfortunately, it's a crap shoot at best! How do dealers get their speakers? Surely they're not suffering the same poor percentages of Audiogon members. Seems like it would be tough to do business if 25% of your goods were received damaged. | |

| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Well Budburma, I don't think the Raptures and Revelations exhibited the differences in my system that they did in yours.

The impression I get listening to the Raptures is "solidity with finesse" meaning there i... | |
| Difference between Siemens CCa & 7308 I certainly would not kick a 7308 out of bed for lack of a CCa! | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Well they've been playing for a couple of days now. So far they are sounding quite fine. I was afraid this would happen, now I've got to figure a way to scrape together the scratch so I don't have to send these back! | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? This may sound a bit weird but I had eye surgery last Thursday. I think they are very, very dark blue or black. They look better than the Revelations to me. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I believe Audio Horizons will install volume control to the TD3.0 tube DAC so it can bypass preamp. Is anyone using the tube DAC direct? | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Audioforever,Just received an e-mail from Steve. He says break-in time on the Raptures is 250-300 hours. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Audioforever,Received Raptures today and they are in my system. I don't know if they are brand new or not so will let them burn-in a while. I'll try to post my impressions in a day or two. Real nice of Steve to let me check them out.BTW: I've owne... |
