Cerious cables - Proper setup and run in time

Results on testing Cables especially Cerious cables
These cables need at least 4 days to settle in, if you take them out of the system, (The process starts over again.)That is the only proper way to do this , because of the liquid ceramic , that is the only way to fairly judge them point 2. if your loudspeakers are over 90 db effficient Bob needs to know at Cerious , also if you are in a high Magnetic area such as airports. Bob would rather not have to sheild them if possible. High efficiency
loudspeakers will bring out hum for sure in a non sheilded cable ,that is why results showed this on a 101db loudspeakers at Srajans .Try the test under these guide lines I have laid down, after 4 days you will see a totally more positive result, a very natural not pushed presentation. Please remember , and try this,
many times people get used to artificial enhancments
Like a Valhala cable for example excellent in some areas and applications,way to clinical in other systems dependand as in most all cables,
and preference .Go to a symphony and listen,
things in life are ususally smoother than you experience on a playback system ,especially cd , ananlog is allways smoother .I have been a audio engineer for over 30 years and have voiced several electrostatic loudspeakers .
Where in the midrange they are natural, and magical.
The big debate on reference cables, compared to in life , or not, also Bob at Cerious needs to ask how efficient
the speakers are,impedances, and the environment and surroundings to
give sheilded cables if needed .This will become standard procedure soon. Happy listening, PJ.

Good hearing from you Norm! I have tried things in the past, will try things in the future, and occasionally -- very recently in fact -- I even purchase equipment. Yet I make it a point of personal policy not to give any chance to manufacturers that employ marcom messages whith which I am not comfortable.
Perhaps it is a small way for me to fight the system? If a maker wants even a faint opportunity to get my business, they must give me the straight goods. Cerious may very well make a splendid product. . . when they change their message to something I can relate to. . . I will try it. I am awaiting for that great and glorious day with bated breath. . .

When you guys are all done with your liquid ceramic debate and the dust settles please consider the Wolff interconnect with the carbon Acrolink RCA. Am I shilling. Hell yes. But, I still think they are great and need some recognition.

Stanhifi, regarding your statement "Edgar has not published many cable reviews". Beg to differ. I would guess that in my relatively short career I have reviewed more cables than most long term reviewers. Check my archives at 6moons, you'll find I've reviewed HT Magic, Eichmann Xpress, Luminous Audio Synchestra Silver Reference, Cerious Technologies, about to come out with Bocchino Audio Morning Glory. I have owned and auditioned in my very revealing system more cables than I care to remember, I mean into the dozens.

You say that you've reviewed more cables than many long term reviewers. OK fine, but 5 published reviews is hardly what I would call "many" (my words). Furthermore the cables you've reviewed are mid-fi, low budget products not high end reference level products such as Indra, Dominus, MIT, Prana, Kubala, etc.
Now regarding all of the cables you've claimed to have owned and auditioned, we all know talk is cheap. Let's see the list your published listening notes along with the associated equipment. You magazine guys are hilarious.

Well, I sent mine back too. The marketing is more exciting than the sonics, IMO. Like all cables, just a matter of system match and the price you are willing to pay.
