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.

Hi Bob,
I sent you some emails over the course of a few weeks, which went unanswered. Maybe you could give me a reply. I don’t really want to discuss the problem on this site.

Just ordered a graphene matrix gold. Currently feeding a P15 regenerator with a HFC Reveal. Figure I'll A/B the cables feeding the P15 then use the loser to feed the DAC.  Anyone have experience with a similar configuration?

@doitwithlife, Sounds to me like you can't lose either way. I ended up using my Graphene Matrix Gold on my Hemisphere and moved my HFU power cord to my Dac. You win either way. ;-)

@lak,

Yes, I don't think either is going to be bad. I've gotten both cables blind so don't know what to expect out of the Matrix. From what I read in the forums it should be an impressive upgrade. My thought is I'll end up like you, Matrix doing the heavy lifting and the HF feeding the Dac

Lance,

          This is a late question base on G Matric cable thread start date.

I'm changing my equipment rack to support twin Pass Labs Mono blocks.

At present I'm using Acoustic Zen Silver Ref ll's balanced 24"L. New setup

will require longer runs. 

 Are you still on board with the G Matric and their performance after almost 2 yrs??

I would greatly appreciate your feed back. Before I pull my trigger on new cables..
