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.

thezaks,

The Matrix have what I call the muscular factor. 
That is; more substance, more bass, midrange, treble, and  presence. It is quite a dramatic contrast to the Cerious Extreme. Which is not a bad cable, I loved it. That is until I heard the Matrix. 
The negative factor being the extra cost and having to again lie to my wife. (LOL).

ozzy-

What's your impression of the loom of Matrix vs the DPS-4 you've had? I'm getting my second Matrix pc soon in a couple of days so still a ways away from a full loom.

t_ramey,

I still am using the DPS-4 with my tube amps and I like them very much. Mine have the Furutech nano connectors. Since I have all my other cables now to be Cerious Matrix there is definitely a synergy with the loom.
Someday, I would like to get a 3 meter pair of the Cerious Matrix power cords for my mono blocks. (I don’t think Bob makes them that long yet).
However, that will need to wait until I rob the stagecoach.

Bob evidently can make the Matrix power cords 3 meters long.
 
So, I finally ordered the last power cords for my mono blocks to complete the total loom with all Cerious Technologies Matrix.

Hopefully this will be the last cables I will need and the total investment will be worth it. I truly love this cable line it has so much "life" and "wholeness" that all cables that I used before the Matrix could never achieve,
