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.

After months of dragging my feet I finally ordered the Matrix speaker cables and they arrived today. Having owned the GE's previously I was acquainted with their build quality and massive size and weight and the Matrix don't disappoint in his regard.

 I was prepared to endure listening to subpar music as these cables burned in but to my surprise they sound amazingly good right out of the shoot. Like stupid good. I'm anxiously awaiting just how good they'll sound after burning in.

 Bob was a pleasure to work with and I appreciate his prompt shipping. It's a no brainer now.....a full loom of Matrix cables is in my future.....with no foot dragging this time!

Totally agreed. They are an investment, but still a bargain in terms of price to performance ratio. I've got to get one more for my phono preamp, and then I will be all set. I love these cables!

I'd like to add that all of the Matrix products that I've added to my system (power cable, digital cable, interconnects, speaker cable) sounded very good directly out of the box and in my opinion only seem to sound better with use.

I have 2 sets of single ended Ic’s, Speaker cables with custom jumpers, and a 2 gang outlet box Bob made me from his best power cord wire. 
Love it all and Bob is a pleasure to deal with.
In my system it absolutely beats the Audience AU 24Sx that it replaced at  less than half retail pricing. 
I am looking to upgrade to a full power loom in the future. 
 Everything needs at least 3 weeks to sound its best. My speaker cables where all over the first week. Man are they good though. Due to room constraints I only have my Personas 20 inches from the front wall. The Matrix still gives me a deep stage with room in between the players front to back. Fantastic layering of instruments. Vocals have a beautiful texture. Tight bass with delicate highs. Really a very nice cable top to bottom.  Highly Recommended !!
