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.

@maxima95  I emailed Bob WHILE ago on umbilical cord and never received a response. No big deal, just don't want my business.

Then he has the audacity complaining lack of common courtesy and use COVID for an excuse, I couldn't resist and had to respond  Said my peace, Carry On!

@cissado I am also using 2x niagara 1200 (just got my second one). For the first niagara, I used NRG Z3 and then TWL 7 Plus cord. Have just changed to AQ Tornado for first niagara and am using an AQ Thunder for second one. Super clean sound and amazing black background. I think it would be worth it to pair the niagara with recommended AQ cords (also for some peace of mind, since they are supposedly synergistic).

I would have liked AQ5000 but just no space for 2x of those..

Heavy dark cables. Good for weight and bass but rolled off top.end. Some like,some don't. Try for yourself. Wasn't what i was looking for.

@joecasey I have the Matrix umbilical cord and it's a damn good cable. I attempted to contact Bob to order another one but he didn't reply. 

Instead, I ordered a VH Audio V-Quad Cu21 and it's a damn good cable too. This cable needs time to burn in but it'll be worth the short wait. Chris also sells Oyaide DC plugs if you need them.

@c_avila1 Thanks for the info.  I had 2 Modwright players at the time and ended up getting an Audio Magic and ZenWave umbilical cord.  Both were excellent and huge upgrade over stock.  I HIGHLY recommend any MW owner to replace the stock umbilical cord.  It's junk!
Also with Zenwave, you can choose the conductor and connectors depending on sound preferences.
