NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables


CT Graphene Matrix Cables:

I have been using the CT GE cables for almost two years.
I recently traded up for a full loom of CT Graphene Matrix cables, including speaker, interconnect and PCs, and I wanted to share my experience. I started by replacing only the ICs to try and hear the differences.

The new Matrix interconnects sounded better than the GE immediately after install. I found the original Graphene Extreme ICs to be good but not on the same level as the outstanding GE speaker cables. As break-in started to clear things up, I can hear more clarity and detail not heard before. The ICs are incredible on their own and at the 30 hour mark, I can hear a clear superiority over the GE ICs. I recently started using the Teo Game Changer ICs and preferred them over GE but the Teo has now fallen to the new Graphene Matrix ICs. My Teo’s were and are great, and it is stunning to experience Cerious Technologies commitment to making great technology better.

On the third day of listening to the GM ICs. I couldn’t wait anymore, Having too much fun. I then installed the speaker cables and power cords once I had a pretty good feel for the sound of the GM ICs.

With the full loom of GM cables running in they are going through some strange changes and definitely need time to settle down before realizing what they can really do and very important Bob says to not move them. Since I have a home office I can let them run in all day. I’m at around 120 hours now and they are still improving. Here’s what I’m hearing:

Extended highs and tighter lows.
More detail and better low level listening
Drums are tighter, more clearly defined. So real is the snap of the snare drum. The bass has more depth, seemingly goes deeper, lower. This aspect stands out the most.

I am not in the industry, I’m not an engineer, I don’t work for Cerious Technologies, but I am a fan of the cables and am enjoying what my system is capable of.

I’m closer to my own pinnacle of sound reproduction than ever before.

littlecx,

I owned the Reveal balanced Interconnects through out my system and I thought they sounded great!
But, once I heard the Cerious Matrix cables, I sold all the Reveals. 
For as good as the Reveals were the Cerious Matrix just made the music sound more lifelike. Once you use the Cerious Matrix you will get what I mean.

i just found that there is no lock on the dac side on the XLR GM cable. how to lock it up securely?

Just unplugged HF Reveal and plugged the GM XLR.

Initial impression:

Before Reveal, I was using Oyaide TUNAMI TERZO XX V2 (102 SSC).

There is no significant difference between 6th day and 10th day burn-in for the Reveal. Reveal is good. Compare to Oyaide, I would describe Reveal natural and smooth. But is too smooth on my system and treble is too conservative. However the weight is better than Oyaide.

Now the GM, it is simply the weight and smoothness of Reveal + clarity of Oyaide. This is what I want. This is just the beginning and I cant believe it is already that good. Can’t wait to see how it improve after burn-in.

BTW, given the very affordable price tag, I would say Oyaide offers the best for the price.

@littlecx,

I also recently acquired some Oyaide Tunami Terzo V2, their latest copper techniques and they are a very good sounding interconnect;  transparent, precise placement within the sound-stage, tight bass with excellent imaging and PRAT.

@littlecx & @wig any comparisons of the Oyaide Tunami Terzo V2 interconnects to the Cerious Graphene or Matrix interconnects?
