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.

If you Can please  describe what you feel are the  the Attributes  of the CT Graphene Matrix. IC
I am using a pair of Von Gaylord Chinchilla interconnects on my Turntable
Victor-QL-A7 (Japan 100V) with a 100V stepdown transformer.
Right now I am very happy with the sound. It is very organic, detailed ,but not bright, It is a little Laid Back sounding. I can crank it pretty damn loud It just seems to get better ,as in more detail , more immediacy, with Deep textured bass ..I am going into the Phono Stage,(  with the Chinchilla )of the McIntosh MX151, which is pretty damn good , 
Maybe you have heard the Chinchillas ?

I have not heard the Chinchillas so no way for me to compare. I have compared many different cables to the Matrix. The most expensive cables I tried was the Morrow Elite Reference IC’s and upon insertion, I immediately thought the Matrix cables were better without any breakin. Also the difference between Graphene Extreme to Matrix is quite a jump in performance. After purchasing a full I loom of cables and going from Extreme to Matrix I determined that the biggest gain was in the Matrix IC’s. I pretty much summed up my thoughts on this in my opening comments when I started this thread.

Hi Everybody...Bob from Cerious. I wanted to update you all and personally thank everyone for the support over the years. On May 2nd my wife left for work and shortly after I collapsed with tremendous chest pains. I called 911 and was transported to the hospital. All very surprising in that I am in really good shape and continue to teach spin as an instructor and work out every day. My heart was not the problem...I had 75% blockage of the main arteries of the heart and my heart had been compensating for years. I hiked Thunderbird mountain the day before in 95 degree heat with no problems. I was prepped and rushed into a Quadruple bypass surgery. 

My level of health has lead to record recoveries and after six weeks I was cleared to drive and begin full workouts at my club. NO WORK, though. 

I am finally cleared to start work again and having your own business it is a mess being away so I wish to apologize for any and all problems I may have caused. What is most frustrating is we were readying to release a large number of new products, including what I believe to be the most radical loudspeaker ever produced. It employs the first "prefect crossover" ever devised and here is the kicker - they operate OUTSIDETHE SIGNAL PATH! The only thing you listen to is a piece of Graphene cable. We are working on a video series, too to actually teach acoustic theory and how loudspeakers (actually) work and Yes we do prove how the crossovers work outside the signal path. 

More news to come with regard to new products. It looks like I am going to live a long time cannot wait to get going. It is amazing what something like this does to your view of life. Bless you all and please let the daily crap flow off of you in to the oblivion. Life is a blessing. Live each day to its fullest!

Peace...

Bob

Bob,

I’m glad you’ve recovered from this. I understand since I’m of that age where I seem to be going to the doctor constantly. I’m still listening to my system through your brilliant cables. I can’t wait to hear these new speakers you speak of. Keep up the good work.
