Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables

Now, this is not a advertisement, just a posting sharing my experience on some well made great sounding cables at a very reasonable price. Besides, I don't think Cerious Technologies is set up for a big influx of cable orders.

But, if you get the chance to try these cables, please do.

I have been interested in the newer cables coming out that are using Graphene as a conductor. SR cables seemed interesting, but I always hated the way there cables had all those extra wires (with the active shields and such). I then noticed an ad early in I think November or December from Cerious Technologies for Graphene cables. I investigated how the cables were assembled and it seemed like quite a laborious process.

I ordered (with a 30 day money back guarantee) the balanced Graphene interconnects, and boy did they impress me. Such depth, soundstage, realism, frequency smoothness, effortless sound. I was truly impressed!  I now have a complete loom of the Cerious Technologies Graphene cables. That is; interconnects, speaker cables, digital cables and power cords.

I ended up selling all of my other cables and to those of you who have read my postings know that cables have always been my curiosity.

So, as I began this post, let me again iterate, I have no alliance to the company, my posting is for those of you looking for an great alternate high quality Graphene made cable without spending a fortune.

Well, if Cerious Technologies is Bob's web site, then it looks like his prices on that site have been out of date for some time.

I always take new owners comments with a grain of salt, as purchase bias and sighted bias can have much to say regarding their impressions.  It looks like we have 3 or 4 posters in this thread driving the direction and pumping up the hype, but fanboy advice is just that.

It's hard to say by reading just how good or mediocre these cables are.  A cable's main job is to do no harm, but reading that these cables can do the following,  "the tonal balance is more correct"(according to an above poster) just makes me shake my head.

More correct according to what, your other system?  Your friend's $100,000 system?  Because if you're basing it off your non Cerious Technologies cable sound, then you've got no base line to compare, and you're going by hearing memory and your own biases.  One can not conclude anything from your results except that your purchase bias may be at play.

And these Cerious Technologies are anything but cheap.  $5-700 for the entry level lengths, to well over $1000.  Most people don't spend that on their speakers!  Spending it on cables when you've got entry level gear is pointless, you will get no improvements.

Hi lancelock,

You're the guy who felt that the tonal balance was "better" when comparing two cables using hearing memory/sighted bias, and found that the new cables were better than the old ones, surprise surprise!  There's a sucker born every minute,  but fanboy reviews should definitely be taken with a grain of salt.  

Keep those old cables around, in about 3 months you may be surprised how good they sound.

Wow, that's strong language!  Anyone who challenges new owner's impressions of tonal balance is a troll?  That's kind of what is called protesting too loudly, which makes me wonder just who these fanboys are.

Anyway, jmc, I've got a few different pieces besides the Nad and the bookshelf speakers and currently own cables from 5 or 6 different manufacturers, read more of my previous posts to get an idea.  

That's why I smile up my sleeve when I hear about tonal balance and chills up one's back.  A cable better put chills up your leg too for $4000!

I got the $5-700 price from the Cerious Technologies price page for a pair of IC’s, and the $4000 number from what I think Lance paid for some Morrow cables.  Maybe I'm missing something?  Either way, if one changes cables and the only difference they can tell is a sense that the tonal balance is better, than that's a pretty minor difference that could be explained by various biases or even moving one's listening position.

And if one is willing to wait 6 weeks for cables, then that just might be a sucker. YMMV. And to the continued passive aggressive behaviour regarding my gear, hey, whatever floats your boat. The Nad is just for fooling around with, as is 3 pairs of other bookshelf speakers I have, and gear from Pioneer and Harman.

My main rig has Parasound Halo gear, the P7 and A21 amp. Ascend Sierra 2 speakers and a Nad C565BEE for a disk spinner. And cables from Monster, Audioquest, Wireworld and Morrow. Not top of the heap by any stretch, but I have a very nice enjoyable sound that give me all of the "tonal balance(LOL)" that I need.
