Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables

bg1968,

I have never tried the cables you have mentioned. But, I have compared the Cerious Graphene cables to Purist Dominus, Synergistic Apex, Kimber Select, HF Ultimate and so many more.

So, if any of those cables have been compared to the cables you have mentioned, the Cerious Is better!

John,

Ok, your right, it is in my humble opinion.

I was just trying to give the poster some sort of comparison. I doubt that his question will get much response comparing the Cerious Graphene cables to the WyWires. But, I suppose you never know...

mac48025,

Congrats! I think you will be impressed.

What kind of equipment do you have?

ozzy

keithtexas,

I'm curious, what are you using in place of the digital Cerious Graphene cables?

keithtexas,

Thanks for the info. After all it is all about how our systems perform and enjoyment. Though I haven’t always done this, I do try to get a complete loom of the same cables. I believe that as a cable is made it is probably tested with the manufactures other cables.

Glad you enjoy them. The power cords are also very good.

taisisuper,

Bob, is basically a one man band that at times can be difficult to get a hold of. And, he just got married, so he’s probably still chasing the wife around the house.

I have some very long lengths of Bob’s previous design that I use with my subwoofers. I thought that they had very good bass quality. But, they were not quite as impressive as the latest Graphene versions.

ozzy.

tommylion,,

Congrats!

Wait till you complete the loom with the Cerious Speaker cables....There will be an even bigger WOW!

ozzy

Gentleman, Drum roll please...

I just put up for sale my Cerious Graphene Extreme speaker cables.

They are 4 meters in length and are Bi-Wired with spades all around.

I’m moving on to mono block amps so I don’t need this long of length.

I estimated the weight I may be a little high.

But it will be a large package, so we'll see.

ozzy

Thanks everyone for pointing out that my weight estimate is probably incorrect. So, I eliminated that info from the ad.

Do you guys think the price is fair?

jmcgrogan2,

Thanks, I guess I could send them to Bob to be re-terminated. Heck, I then might even keep them to use with my home theater system.

ozzy

Come on now guys, please get back to the subject matter before the thread takes a bad turn.

More importantly (LOL), why are my Cerious speaker cables not selling on the Gon?

ozzy

On almost all of these threads I have noticed that eventually someone starts getting off subject and starts to denigrate others. I really don’t understand why.

We all have opinions, but if we can, please be respectful of others.

ozzy

roxy54,

Yes, I'm still staying with the Curious cables.

When I get my OTL tube mono blocks (Atmasphere) I've been told that longer interconnects and shorter speaker cables are better with these amps.

ozzy

lak,

Thank you for your comments. With my Pass Labs Amp (solid state) the opposite seemed to be truer. But, with tubes all the info suggests shorter speaker length.

ozzy

Thank you guys for the advise on having my Bi-wire Cerious cables separated into (2) 4 meter pairs. I just sent them in for the surgery, changed my ad and I already have some interest!

Now to buy longer Cerious (blue) power cord and longer interconnects for my future tube mono blocks. Along with also another amp stand, shorter speaker cables etc.

It never ends, does it?

ozzy

bg1968,

I agree!

ptss,

Didn't you just post about a graphene spray? Why is this so different?

Man, lighten up!

ozzy

I have just compared the Cerious Technologies Graphene XLR interconnects to the new Reveal ( magnet) XLR interconnects. Although others have claimed the magnet interconnects to be superior to the Cerious. I’m here to tell you that I am not one.

Once I removed and replaced the Cerious Graphene cables with the magnet cable the sound stage became dark, lacking separation and the frequency extremes. I did this comparison over some time after letting each version settle in for a few days.

Now, this could be that I have a complete loom of all Cerious cables and substituting just one interconnect from another manufacturer is not fair. But I cannot afford the prices charged for the magnet cables to try and replace all of the Cerious Graphene cables.

Again, this is in my system and with my ears, so your impression may be different. But this "audiophile" is sticking with the Cerious Technologies Graphene cables.

ozzy

gakman,

I used the cable from the source (PS Audio Direct Stream Dac).

mac48025,

The CT-1 are single ended interconnects.

aniwolfe,

My other trials of the HFC cables were the single ended (RCA) version. I had the HFC Ultimate interconnects. Quite pricey!

I thought that perhaps it was not a fair trial because all my equipment and cables are balanced and using XLR connections.

The only cable that HFC makes that is balanced is the new Reveals. So, with the raves and I being a cable junky had to give them a try again.

Sorry, no bashing just my opinion. Yours maybe different and that's ok.

ozzy

anniwolfe,

That must have been a very recent change. They never were available as XLR's because the connectors had magnets in them and that would make them too large.

The new Reveal's do not have the magnets in the connectors. They chose to place the magnets midway on the cable.

I would like to try the 30K Pro series, however, I would have to rob a bank!

ozzy

I will add that I do have 16 of the HFC MC-0.5's on my 3 dedicated circuits.

ozzy

jmcgrogan2,

I do have the MC-0.5’s spread out over 3 dedicated outlets, it seemed that the more I added the better the sound.

lak,

It does seem that the cleaner the power the better. BTW, I also have 3 Bybee line filters one on each line. Two balanced power conditioners, one on the digital and another with my power amps (Core Power). All AC outlets are Furutech rhodium.

And, I have 2 sets of ERS cloth over my breakers. Now, if I could only find a high end circuit breaker...

ozzy

tbg,

I assure you that Bob’s Graphene cables are WAY better than his previous versions.

So are you saying you are going to try the Cerious Graphene cables? Or are you looking for free review samples?

Heck, if you can afford the HFC Pro’s just the sales tax on them would outfit a complete loom of Bob’s Cerious Graphene cables. Don't try to smoke a free pair from a one man band trying to keep up with demand.

ozzy

tommylion,

Congratulations on the Cerious cables. The speaker cables are something special.

mac48025,

I have tried so many power cords. With my ears and my system the Cerious cables are in the top tier and at the lowest price.

ozzy

Ok, I'll try to get some...

ozzy

Just ordered  a sample vial.

ozzy

Wig,

I owned those AZ cables many moons ago and then moved on through many iterations of cables to where I am today. You will really enjoy the Cerious Graphene Cables.

ozzy

I just tried to read about the Teo's. Is it truly a liquid conductor? Too bad its not made in XLR or I would try one. Is $500 a meter the price?

ozzy

I just received the sample Graphene Contact Enhancer from the Mad Scientist in New Zealand. It came in a tube that is a little thicker than the size of a fuse. Inside the tube is what looks like an oily black liquid.

I put a dab on my amp fuses. Then I turned them on and for a few minutes the sound was dark sounding, but after 15 minutes things opened up.

The instructions says, "The first place to try is on analog interconnects. But you can use them on just about any place where metal meets metal on a contact." Other places to try them is speaker cables, fuses, plugs, even on tubes pins!

It will take a few days for me assess the value of the product so stay tuned...

ozzy

lak,

Thanks! I’m such a sucker for new tweaks...

Today, I applied the oil to my speaker cable connections, and the output interconnects connections to the amps. This sure is a messy substance. Make sure you cover the floor and wear gloves if you use this stuff. I may have applied too little, but better to start thin.

I’ll give it a few days, to evaluate before I add anymore.

ozzy

Well the Mad Scientist Graphene liquid was a no go in my system. In my system it added a darkness to the sound. It actually seemed to insulate more than conduct if that makes sense. Perhaps if you had a bright sounding system this stuff would tame it.

Cleaning the stuff off is a pain.

ozzy

geoffkait,

I just couldn't listen to my system with that stuff on the connectors.

perfectpathtech,

The extreme av was good, but the stuff changes and after a while it was not so good and I had to remove it.

Clean contacts to me is the best.

However, I do like stabilant 22 and I have recently received some substance from an Audiogon member that is showing potential.

ozzy

Always match the positive (+) markings on the cables with the corresponding positive markings on the (+) amp and speakers.

ozzy

jayctoy,

Interesting...

Can you describe each and how they are different to the Reveals?

I am using balanced cables throughout and the Teo GC cables are only RCA so I'm not sure the change to that cable would be an improvement over a proper balanced connection.

ozzy

jayctoy,

Thank you for your post. I think the Cerious Graphene speaker cables are really great and I believe you will be impressed with them. BYW, I had the Andra 2 speakers for many years.

aniwolfe,

I wonder what would happen if the XLR Reveal is added to the end of a XLR Cerious Technoligies Graphene XLR interconnect?

Have you ever tried it that way?

ozzy

hddg,

What components are you using?

ozzy

That seems like a long time. The CT always sounded good with my equipment from the start. But, perhaps the first few hundred hours as usual are needed for proper break in.

BYW, due to a system change I have a 2.5 Meter balanced Graphene Extreme for sale here on Audiogon.

ozzy

Curious about your Cerious.

Are you guys lifting the cables off the floor?

Also I use Stabilant 22 on the connectors ends.

ozzy

After reading the last few posts about the Nanotech and Furutech wires has peaked my interest. (I am such a tweaker)...

Well I ordered some of the Nanotech 308 wire and the Furutech FI-50 NCF (R) connectors. Unfortunately, the wire and the Furutech connectors are coming from Japan so there's no telling how long its gonna take...
