Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables

Cables are not one single strand of conductor. They are virtually always multiple strands of finer wire or other materials twisted together like a rope. When a musical signal is sent through this bundle electrons tend to stay within each individual strand - until - a transient (a louder pulse of music) hits and that is when all heck breaks loose. This added energy causes electrons to "jump" from strand to strand destroying the time constant of the bundle as a whole. If we keep in mind that music is virtually all transients we can see that a signal sent down our bundle will have random electrons arriving on the other end at different times depending on their travels ACROSS the bundle. This just kills imaging and the relationship of initial note and decay which is what makes music sound REAL. At Cerious we use Graphene under high pressure to "fill in" the gaps between individual strands creating a single conductor. Since the Graphene is even lower resistance than the strands themselves the signal tends to flow through the Graphene itself which is surrounded by wire strands of higher resistance. The wire acts almost as a barrier channeling the signal and keeping it within the Graphene strings since the signal wants to travel in the path of least resistance. Here I must add that this is the theory at least which has been borne out by listening tests. Every cable I have designed was approached through this theory and the closest I have been able to produce a real world cable to this design has sounded better than the previous iteration. I am a researcher at my core and work everyday to correlate design to real world performance so I can understand why cables sound the way they do. Graphene has added an incredible tool to the tool chest and we at Cerious will continue to unlock the potential of this breakthrough material.

Hi Bob,
This is my first post on this tread, and I would like to say that your explanation above is really fascinating, and just not something that I would have ever imagined.

Is there a particular sonic signature to the graphene itself?  Just as cables may have different sonic signatures, is it possible that there is a better, middle and worse sounding graphene? 

Thanks and just plain interesting.

As much as I might somewhat admire your bravery for attempting to shed some light on the dodgy subject of how Graphene enhances the signal, I feel it only fair to post out that elections actually don’t travel down the length of the conductor, even ones with Graphene in them. Electron drift velocity is actually quite slow. Painfully slow, in fact. On the order of a few centimeters per minute in copper wire.

To exacerbate things even further with respect to your explanation, in AC circuits such as speaker cables the electrons travel TO AND FRO and are therefore at a virtual standstill. Now, if you incorporate how photons, not electrons, behave in your cables then I might scramble on board. You know, since the electromagnetic wave - I.e., the music signal - that’s traveling from one end of the cables to the other is comprised of photons, not electrons.

we do the difficult quickly, the impossible takes a little longer

I have no knowledge of electricity, which I am sure you will quickly agree to.  But if I remember correctly Al has mentioned that the music signal, whatever it is made up of, like electricity in general, travels the path of least resistance.  If I understand what Bob said, the graphene offers the path of least resistance.  Basically, geoff, are you are saying that Bob is correct other than you would rather he not refer to the signal travelling as electrons?

If the signal traveled the path of least resistance it would travel down the Graphene, assuming the Graphene is acting as a conductor in the first place, and not the metal backbone metal wires, which one assumes are actually nothing more than structural reinforcement. And if that were the case, then Bob could use coat hangers for the backbone. It’s also possible, as I mentioned before, the Graphene is simply acting as an RFI/EMI shield and not as a conductor at all. Which is the case in the SR Black fuse.

Furthermore, the distinction between electrons and photons in the explanation of how things work is not trivial, especially in light of the fact that many folks seem to believe that the signal travels back and forth in AC circuits. Follow?
