Does your DPS-4 have the FI-50 Rhodium NCF connectors?
Thanks

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.

@maxima95 Good question. I have the Chinese knock off version of the rhodium plated carbon connectors on my DPS-4. I did use the Furutech nano liquid on the wire. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Set-Copper-Rhodium-Plated-US-AC-Power-Plug-Carbon-Fiber-Connector-Adapter... The Furutech NCF’s are probably better but how much I don’t know. I’ve had the NCF connectors on another cable that had previously used the standard FI-50’s and while the NCF’s were better I didn’t think they upgraded the performance with the amount of extra cost they incur. The NCF receptacles on the other hand are indeed worth the extra price compared to other Furutech receptacles. Just my experience and opinion. |
i received my Matrix i/c and power cords today..a day ahead of the expected delivery date...YEA..!!!...i installed the i/c initially and played 2 tracks before dinner and will wait until after watching TV to listen again...My initial impression of those 2 tracks is just amazingly positive.The improvement it made over the previous HF CT-1UR interconnect if profound. That 'right out of the box'..stay tuned... |
