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.

All one has to do to know Graphene is real and not snake oil and see the potential value of graphene in electronics in general is some simple google searches.

The trick with any useful new innovative technology is always in the proper application. Any current applications for wires, fuses etc. are most likely limited still and the value not always clear case by case. The devil is always in the details. But over time, I am optimistic graphene will assume a larger role in more electronics in general based on its unique and useful physical properties.

Meanwhile, it is not yet a mainstream technology for home audio so take all claims with a few grains of salt but if the facts line up don’t be afraid to try if the value proposition works for you.


Also keep in mind better application of technology may equate in general with better performance but even that does not always = better sound. Sound quality will always be very much in the ear of the listener and a fairly subjective thing to determine in the end.

5 amps =600 watts so only moderately high powered amplifiers would pose a potential limitation problem with the CT-1 power cable.
Charles,
With a 250w mono, connectors on each end got very hot.   Had trouble power up a 350w stereo amp.  

If CT-1 is drawing too much current connectors can melt.  A different type of PC and must respect the limits.   Shipped them to Rick check for damages.

Not the most accurate but since I'm not armed with an engineering and physics degree, I don't use them on components with 5+ Amp fuse so only Dac.

Gee, you don’t say? Rather than take such a pessimistic view, I’d rather take the opposite view, and that’s without even trying the Graphene stuff. I’d say revel in your time and thank your lucky stars that such things are popping up in audio devices. Audiophiles often seem to get ahead of the power curve when it comes to these newer materials and concepts. The stodgy old science community seems to have run out of imagination. Carbon nanotubes, carbon fiber, carbon powder, quantum dots, Graphene. Whenever industry and science is having difficulty coming up with applications for these powerful new materials audiophiles will figure out how to improve their sound. Snooze you loose.

Cheerios,

To which Mapman responded,

"That’s fine. No need to argue. Some like to be early adaptors, on the bleeding edge, whatever one might call it. Others not. Graphene has potential for sure. Unlike "snake oil" which has none. That’s a big difference!"

What on Earth are you going on about? You seem to be full of platitudes today for some reason. Snake oil? oil? Got some examples? I’m dying to hear this. Let ’er rip, Mapman. Let the diatribe begin.

cheers
