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.

Hi t_ramey,

I duplicated cable lifts like these out of hardwood and used Sterling Size 105 5" X 5/8" rubber bands from Amazon for the suspension:

Also adhered this constrained layer vibration absortion material to the bottoms of the wood wedges for additional vibration damping (not visible when the lifts are in place):

I cannot say whether I lost anything by using wood vs CF material (like Shunyata) for the bases, but I think that the rubber band suspension and damping material account for the majority of the improvement I hear, which is quite significant.

The tension on the rubber bands can be adjusted to match the weight of the cables.

A great sonic improvement for around $15 for each lift.

Best to you t_ramey,
Dave

I cut a black packing sponge into small pieces (2 inches high) for the lifter. Nothing fancy at all.

Great idea Dave! Thanks for the links and info. I'd like to try and duplicate those as well.

jeony- I just grabbed some foam that was leftover from some packing material I'll put under the cables here in a while. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi t_ramey,

If nothing else, cutting a 4X4 untreated fencing post diagonally with a table saw and then a deep "V" in the top should work fine.  Paint or stain to preference.  The rubber bands and damping are key.

Best to you t_ramey,
Dave

Getting the cables off the floor reduces the static that's down there, and eventually the static (etc) affects all types of cabling.
I'm not capable of a better explanation, however there are others on this site that can give an in depth explanation.
