Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables

Now, this is not a advertisement, just a posting sharing my experience on some well made great sounding cables at a very reasonable price. Besides, I don't think Cerious Technologies is set up for a big influx of cable orders.

But, if you get the chance to try these cables, please do.

I have been interested in the newer cables coming out that are using Graphene as a conductor. SR cables seemed interesting, but I always hated the way there cables had all those extra wires (with the active shields and such). I then noticed an ad early in I think November or December from Cerious Technologies for Graphene cables. I investigated how the cables were assembled and it seemed like quite a laborious process.

I ordered (with a 30 day money back guarantee) the balanced Graphene interconnects, and boy did they impress me. Such depth, soundstage, realism, frequency smoothness, effortless sound. I was truly impressed!  I now have a complete loom of the Cerious Technologies Graphene cables. That is; interconnects, speaker cables, digital cables and power cords.

I ended up selling all of my other cables and to those of you who have read my postings know that cables have always been my curiosity.

So, as I began this post, let me again iterate, I have no alliance to the company, my posting is for those of you looking for an great alternate high quality Graphene made cable without spending a fortune.

Stealth Audio Cables has had a graphene cable for many years, the Metacarbon. It is actually the designers favorite but IMHO is still miles behind the incredible Sakra helium dielectric cable (which uses amorphous alloy wire, and I was part of developing at the time). I believe Van Den Hull also has used carbon fibers in cables for quite a while. Prices on those are staggering so I will look into these.
 From what I read in the sciences news if they can bond water molecules between layers of graphene it gets you room temperature super conducting.
 I wish...

The Stealth Nanofiber Cables look very interesting. What appears to be Graphene or something very close is used for the conductor. No metal is used. Now, that is a really neat trick! Of course one big advantage of amorphous cables is you don’t have to worry about the whole directionality thing. Whew,That’s a relief! What’s next, Graphene fuses? Can Graphene fuses get UL listed? Hmmmmm...also, and I know I’m going out on a limb here but most likely what is referred to as Metacarbon or "carbon fibers" is not actually Graphene which, by definition is one atom thick.

I’m not advertising here on someone else’s behalf either, but would you believe a Graphene "Fuse Wrap" that you can apply to Any fuse?? Not yet quite added to the site, but "coming soon".

There is no description posted yet (Alan has been talking to his facebook group about introducing them for a couple weeks now), but they are indeed Graphene based. Installation (with a piece of electrical tape) kooks dirt simple.

I haven’t had an opportunity to try them yet, but will at some point.
The price is right though: $15 a pop for the "large" 1.25" fuses and $12.50 for the "small" size.

I imagine there would be all sorts of room out there for good, innovative applications for Graphene-based solutions to various kinds of familiar audio problems. I say bring it on and let’s see what we get...just sayin’.

Thanks for the link Ivan! I started a thread a little while back about the feasibility of using graphene sheets cut to size based on his work but couldn't find the site to link to again. I read about it over at another audio site.

If it works as well as say, SR fuses, then it could be applied to something like Littlefuses, saving a whole lot of money.

All the best,
Nonoise

Nonoise, Alan, who’s been at his noise-reduction game since 1998, tells me this may be The biggest bang for the buck he’s ever generated...and I can tell you for a fact that he has given me an endless string of jaw-dropping examples of that since I started buying in 2010(!).

Can’t wait to try them for myself but, for me it will mean tearing down my carefully assembled equipment stack to access for install (a YUUUGE pita!), so someone else may have to post their impressions on them somewhere before I can.

But, whether used on a stock fuse or a "boutique" fuse the results should be amazing. Alan believes that the fuse itself is the single biggest weakpoint in the power supply.
