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.

lak,

I own the Nanotec 308 and the Furutech DPS-4 cables. 
On both types I have installed Furutech NCF nano connectors. In my opinion the DPS-4 is better suited for digital (because of all the shielding) and the 308 is better suited for amps, preamps etc.

At this point, I have not tried Bob's Cerious Matrix power cords to compare, but I would like to.

new Matrix speaker cables continue to evolve. The music, with them in, is so much more emotionally involving then with the previous CT cables.Guitar strumming is so tight and you can hear each string as its hit within the soundstage. Previous background instruments are so much more prominent now.The combination of the Matrix i/c and speaker cable has truly taken my system's sound to a 'new level'.So natural sounding.Vocal intonations are just so much more 'you are there'...more later...

I have compared the # 308 to Furutech 55N, 32N and 22N with NCF and standard FI-50M rhodium connectors and in my system it was no comparison to the # 308 but the 32N and 22N are more resolving compared to the 55N.

The Oyaide BM V2 is even better...
