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.

i listened last night for about 3 hrs and initial thoughts are as follows....soundstage larger..much better deliniation of instruments within the soundstage.can hear instruments within the soundstage not prevoiously heard. vocals with much better consonant articulation. This compared to the HF cable..Very happy to this point..

yoby,

I bought the DPS-4 cable from a Furutech distributor, I think in California. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name. But do a search and you should be able to find it. I see now that VH Audio also sells it.

I bought the Furutech nano liquid on EBay.

After 130 hours of burn-in on my Audiodharma Cable Cooker, I inserted the 1.5/M RCA Matrix Interconnects into my secondary system this morning between my CJ Classic SE preamp and my CJ Classic Sixty SE amp. The Matrix replaced the Reval 1.5/M interconnects.
The build, looks and feel of the Matrix Interconnects is excellent as well as the custom box and awesome packaging that Bob always delivers.
I believe that my Matrix Interconnects need some additional time to breath and age but if you are looking for a high quality interconnect that looks as good as it sounds, look no farther! I'd put this interconnect up against any other I've ever heard. Believe me, it can hold it's own and then some!
Great bass, very nice macro and micro details, handles piano, organ, violins etc very well. That's all I dare say at this time. Now I wonder what I would hear if I replaced my HF U interconnect between my Dac and Preamp? Darm Merry go round never stops, it just pauses for a while!

lak. Unless you want to sell your HF .. don’t do it. I agree with your thoughts exactly. Just a superb cable. Mine now about 15 hrs old, from a use standpoint, and gets better every night. Magic. I could not use the pc, however, due it’s stiffness and not being able to make the tight turn from wall to amps. Sad. Will try the speaker cables in the near future.
