Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables

Thanks for the heads up Bob.
Watch out for that sunburn!
;-)  BTW Delta found the problem: https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13880150_10153930965157545_7353592517918595737_n.jpg?o...

My guess is 100 to 150 hours of use.
Mine sound great!

T_ramey,
I own the Graphene 1/M RCA digital cable and I think there is a lot of bang for the buck value. I recommend it to you.

Debjit,
They are both very good power cords. You just need to try them to see what works best in your system and which you prefere. Please post your results.

Bob's daughter needs to find some time to update his website ;-)
Hay, we're all busy...

I agree with csmgolf's comment regarding the addition of all the interconnects (etc.) at the same time.
With that said, if you are the type of person that wants to hear the sonic's of each individual interconnect (etc.), are patient, and have the time, then add one at a time.
If I remember correctly, you are looking at 50 hours for full break-in time, but the GE products really do sound very good right out of the box.
I think the differences you will hear are dependent on your individual system and the quality of the interconnects (etc.) you are replacing.
In my personal case I liked what I heard as soon as I replaced the speaker cables, and power cable. The digital cable and the RCA interconnect sounded as good, but not necessarily better than what I was using however the GE products were a much lower cost thus a real money saver. 

debjit_g,
Please let us know your thoughts by posting them here on this form.

I agree, the Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables have huge bang for the buck quality and sound. Definitely worth a try, and if I was starting out in this hobby, I would purchase a full loom and not second guess my choice. It's hard to believe, but this product betters other manufactured products that cost five times more etc.
Don't take my word for it, let your ears be the judge.
I own a full loom on one of my systems and just ordered a 12' Red Low Current Optimized GE power cord for my Allnic H-2101 phone preamp.

Tommylion & jsm71,
I would start with the power cable or if it's in your budget the speaker cables. I might add that my statement was made bassed upon the experiences I had in my system, as we all know different systems yeild different results.

I received my 12' Red Low Current Optimized GE power cord for my Allnic H-2101 phone preamp a week ago. I know it was overkill, but I burned it in on my Audiodharma Cable Cooker for a week. I just installed it this morning and am listening to the LP Midnight Sugar by Yamamoto, Tsuyoshi Trio.
I know I should not be surprised, but I'm hearing musical details that I have not noticed before (using some other big named, expensive power cords) and that's one of the LP's/CD's I use for comparison purposes.
Once again, kudos to Bob!

@tommylion,
Your going to have some fun Friday and over the weekend ;-)!

For what it's worth, I agree with Calloway.
Other then the CPT-300 (that's the only one I own so I can't speak of the CPT-150 or CPT-50) One would have to spend thousands of dollars to maybe hear a minimal improvement.

@dlcockrum: You want the Yellow Cerious Technologies Graphene power cord for your power supply.

@tommylion; I have found that break-in is somewhere between 50 to 100 hours on all the CT products, but the do sound good out of the box.

@dlcockrum;
Red = Low Current Optimized (like a CDP or Preamp).
Blue = High Current (Amp).
Yellow = High Current...conditioner or a power strip.

@dlcockrum,
I’ve successfully used the Blue and Yellow power cords interchangeably on an amp, integrated amp, power supply and power strip. Both worked out very well, however, I no longer remember the difference I heard. I believe somewhere at the beginning of this thread "Bob of Cerious Technologies" gave a technical explanation of the two power cords***. I’m not capable of going into technical explanations, but I know what sounds good to my ears ;-)! For your purpose either the Blue or Yellow would workout very well.

***See Bobs post on page two, dated 4/8/16.

@Jsm71,
Your really going to love the speaker cables when you receive them ;-)!

@rja 
I find the power cables to be very good.
I own the Blue, Yellow and Red.
I highly recommend the speaker cables and the power cables, because in my system I noticed the most amount of positive change.

@mitch2,
Another digital cable you might want to consider is the VH Audio Pulsar Ag Silver Interconnect. You would have to send an email to VH Audio and ask Chris to make you one set up with the BNC you want. I was involved in beta testing the interconnect and I can tell you that it sounded every bit as good as my reference digital cable; the Stealth Varidig Sexet. The CT digital cable that Bob makes is also very good. I still have and use the Ag Silver and CT digital in different systems.

Message me if you are looking for a CT Digital Cable 1/M RCA or a CT Interconnect 1/M RCA.
I might know where one can find one of each lightly used but broken in.

@mtrot,
Based upon my experience and what others have said in this forum your GE speaker cables will sound good right out of the box.
When you install them, set the speaker cables up exactly the way you want them and then don't move them around or it will degrade the sound for a while and require another short break-in period.
I also suggest all speaker cables and power cords be elevated off the floor sitting on top of some type of riser for best performance.
Total break in time can run anywhere between 50 - 150 hours for full break in, however, I'm sure you will be impressed as soon as you install them in your system.
My speaker cables that I purchased this past summer have directional arrows, but if the speaker cables you receive don't have direction arrows just install them and use a piece of tape (or something) to indicate what direction you are going to run them. This will prevent any confussion in the future if you need to reinstall them.
Give us a report on your findings here when you receive them.
Best regards...

@limniscate,
Please forgive my ignorance, but is the HC power cable you refer to the Krell Vector HC power cord? When I Google it I come up with several possibilities?
I've never heard the Groneberg Quattro Reference power cord but I do know that the CT Extreme power cords improve with break in time.

Getting the cables off the floor reduces the static that's down there, and eventually the static (etc) affects all types of cabling.
I'm not capable of a better explanation, however there are others on this site that can give an in depth explanation. 

From the Shunyata Research website:
"The Shunyata Research DF-SS (Dark Field Suspension System) takes the patented technology Shunyata Designer Caelin Gabriel applied in the original DFE and DFE v2, to an elite performance level by adding two important design innovations. In addition to the patented energy-field neutralization material used in the original DFE, the DF-SS incorporates two forms of vibration isolation that quiets energy transfer between the floor and any cable product.
The most significant advance applied to the DF-SS is the wide band cable suspension bridge, designed to support any cable, power or signal, while dissipating vibrational energy through the purposefully tensioned polymer band. The second innovation is the energy-absorbing granular compound that fills the base of the DF-SS. This compound formulation absorbs floor borne energy that would otherwise couple to the cable, causing signal degradation. These combined technologies define the DF-SS as the most technically advanced cable suspension system on the market.
To prove the DF-SS efficacy, Shunyata will be publishing Accelerometer test results with the DF-SS, indicating the level of isolation they provide from floor borne vibration, common to all sound system environments.
In a nutshell
The difference in performance the DarkField Suspension System renders is dramatic and easy to appreciate when applied to literally any high-performance audio or video system. When applied as a system, the DF-SS renders a dramatic reduction in perceived noise and time smear, yielding improved clarity, depth and spatial information within any audio/video system

- Static-Neutralizing Polymer
- Vibration Absorbing Compound (internally)
- Polymer Cable Suspension Bridge
- Vibration Absorbing Feet for hard surfaces
- Patented design
- Wide Foundation (won’t tip or fall)
- Unequaled Shunyata Build Quality"

Geoffkait & Dlcockrum,
Thanks for the information!
Good to know...

@sharok 
All I can say in order to answer your question is that the GE Cables (IC, speaker cables, power cord) sound great with my Maggies 3.7 speakers.

Mtrot,
Congratulations! 
They will improve as you use them.
50-150 hours of break in time but they do sound good right out of the box!

I also need to order another Yellow power cord for a power conditioner. Just waiting for the power conditioner to arrive so I can figure out the best location, and then I'll know the length for the power cord. LOL!

Hello Bob,
I have the Audiodharma Cable Cooker, Anniversary Edition 3.5 CCGR.
I’ve had it for several years and highly recommend it to anyone. The company has come out with a new High Power 3.5 Unit that’s made for situations such as yours. If you click on the link to Audio Excellence AZ you can read about the different options and models available.

Best regards & Happy Holidays to all...

;-) to much time on my hands, espically with the cold and ice of winter!

Bob,
I'll bet you and Alan could work something out. You are both nice guys, give him a call ;-).

Bob,
I totally agree with Ozzy and Calloways comments. Your products do sound great upon arrival and normal use breaks the interconnects (etc) in, with-in 50+ hours, so without the purchase of a Audiodharma Cable Cooker everyone is a winner.
Based upon my experience (while experimenting with cryogenic treatments) it's very possible your products would benefit, however once again that would raise the price and increase the length of time a customer would wait for delivery.
If an audiophile was really interested in Cryo, they can contact a company themselves and have the item treated. Be warned though that there is a "VERY LONG" break-in period after being Cryoed!

@arafiq,
It will be interesting to see if in 50 hours or so if you hear improvement.
Please keep us posted. 

Congratulations Bob!
You deserve some time off and enjoy life etc!

IMO: Bob is a 110% class act, a true designer and a gentleman. His word is his livelihood. I would and will continue to do business with him and several other manufacturers that advertise on Audiogon and demonstrate the same high qualities.

Please keep the trolling isolated to major waterways ;-)!

The biggest improvements I've heard with power cords, in general, are in the following order:

1) Dac or CDP
2) Preamp or Integrated Amp
3) Amp

I think it's a matter of system synergy and probably other technical aspects of equipment that I'm not capible of explaining but I'm hoping other more knowledgable will jump in here and explain it for us?

Al, thank you for the explanation. This helps me (and others, I'm sure) better understand how power cords effect an audio compoient and system.
I was hoping you might once again enter this discussion :-)
Muchas Gracias...

geoffkait,
I appreciate your vast knowledge and I learn from many of your posts.
We should all learn to be more tolerant of other's comments because after all they are EGO driven.

Thank you, Al...

I've always heard that the shorter the speaker cables the better, and if one must go long it's best to do it with the interconnects. For longer interconnects (and I mean really long) use XLR if possible.

I've had discussions with Bob back in the days when he still lived in Michigan. A prince of a guy that is not only knowledgeable but also willing to share his knowledge openly with others.
With that said we just need to remember there are others on this site that lack proper manners and like the attention, they receive by doing what they do. Best just to ignore them and not react to their posts...

Gentleman, thank you for your posts. Both the Cerious, Reveal and other HFC are good along with many other interconnects, etc. One could drive themselves crazy with all that’s out there.
Hello, my name is Lak and I’m an audiophile...

I thought I remembered reading some place that Rick said the largested HFC game changer had to do with the power. I'm guessing that could be the power cord, MC-O.5's or other power devices they manufactor.

The Cerious Graphene IMO sound significantly better than the Nano!

Grannying, correct, I believe all you have to do is pay to ship it back. No stocking fee. Perhaps someone else will know the specifics?

@grannyring; Cerious Technologies has a 30 day money back guarantee I believe.
I’d email Bob and ask him any questions that you might have @
rgrost@cerioustechnologies.com

Wig, I have not heard the speaker cables that several of you speak about. I am totally enthused and a big fan of Bob's Cerious Graphene speaker cables. 

@wig
I own the Audiodharma Cooker also.
Although it’s not really necessary to cook the Cerious Technologies Graphene products because they sound good upon arrival, I would suggest four days.
Best regards...
