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.

@in_shore , The changes just might be worth it because these cables are very good. Also, the IC’s and SC’s are game changing.

if you haven’t heard a Berning amp since the Seigfried then you must hear the latest Berning designs from Linear Tube Audio. The change is radical from earlier designs..

in_shore...i had to send my 3' Matrix pcs back because i could not make them bend enough to make a 12" distance connection. i have emailed Bob to see whether a 4'-5' pc will turn a loop quick enough to make that connection.I hope it will..i have Matrix speaker cables coming very soon. The interconnects are amazing..

calloway, 

The Matrix speaker cables are the best, you should really enjoy them. Give them some hours of playing time though before you judge. 

Happy New Year!

If you had to get one or the other which would be the choice. The Matrix interconnects or speaker cables?

I'm not going to be able to get both so would like to know which have the biggest impact.
