Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables

@ozzy, thanks for the information regarding the Luminscate speaker cables.

I'll be interested to hear about the interconnects and power cords also whenever someone has demoed them.

Ozzy, exactly which Cerious Technologies power cords are you using?
On Bob's website it looks like there is only the Nano power cord. Is that the one or are there others?

I agree; thank you for the explanation Bob, and thank you Ozzy for the website direction.

I see that Bob now has two ads posted on Audiogon regarding his graphene extreme power cables. The description written really helps the consumer understand the difference between the two power cords.
In my opinion, well worth a try for new technology.

Jond, I agree Bob has always been a awesome person to work with, he truly cares about what he does and his coustomer service is excellent!

I believe Bob is extreamly busy trying to fill recient orders other wise he might once again answer these questions once again on this forum. You might try emailing him and if you get an answer plese do post it here :-)

Jmcgrogan2...LOL ;-)

Call me inquisitive but I know Bob Grost makes good types of interconnects because I’ve purchased some in past years.
After reading the forum regarding SR Red and Black Fuses, written by many audiophiles that I have come to know and follow I tried several SR Black Fuses.
Wow! I was very impressed. Now enters Ozzy’s post on Cerious Technologies new Graphene Cables.    

I just received one Graphene Extreme High Current (Blue) power cord suitable for my amp and one Graphene Extreme High Current power cord suitable for a power conditioner.

I have them on my Audiodharma Cable Cooker hoping for a shorter break-in time.
More to follow after break-in.

David:
Thanks...
I think I'll burn in on the cable cooker for a week.

A few more days and I'll take the Cerious Graphene power cords off the AudioDharma Cable Cooker and insert into my system. I need to tell myself to let those cables cook and forget about them for a while longer!
;-)!

For prices you wouls have to check the website.
There were ads on Audiogon offering special pricing but I no longer see them.

Great Caesar’s ghost, I would not have believed it if I didn’t hear it with my own ears!

I had my Graphene Extreme High Current power cord (suitable for a power conditioner) burning in on my Audiodharma Cable Cooker for 207 hours.
I placed it into my main system this morning going from a dedicated Furutech GTX-D (R) outlet to my HFC MC-6 Power Distributor, that supplies power to my Music Culture MC 501A CDP (Transport), Yamamoto Dac, Allnic L-3000 Preamp and Allnic H 1201 Phono Preamp.

WOW! I’m impressed! The system sounded really good before the addition of the Graphene Extreme High Current power cord, but with this one change this is what I'm hearing:

The soundstage opened up and its wider, deeper and more uniform.

Seems like it’s easier for me to pinpoint specific instruments within the room.

There is more texture to the music with a tighter, deeper, punchier bass.

I hear more detail and greater dynamics.

I'll report back when I place the Blue Graphene Extreme High Current power cord into the system on my Plinius SA Reference amp.

Although I don't personally know Bob I have emailed with hin and spoke to him on the phone a couplke of times. I believe he might be a one man operation (although I could be wrong). Bob lives and works in Arizona. Why don't you give him a call at this number posted in his website: http://www.cerioustechnologies.com/contact/contact.html

Disclaimer: High end audiophile equipment can sound different based upon brand, room acoustics, AC power supplied including grounding etc, therefore your milage may vary.

Also, please take into account that there is a lingering effect when HFC products are removed from a system, although I tried to wait until the effect dissipated.

In addition, while reading a comment made by Bob Grost:
"Lastly a note on the power cords. Everything about our power cords is unique. One of the most unique aspects is that they have REACTIVE jackets that actually react to vibrations and physically move to damp out vibrations caused by running current through a conductor (this is the main difference between the high and low current models as the jacket is designed with much finer reactive ceramics on the low current model versus the high current....). While I realize it is great fun to swap cords to A/B, this reactive process "resets" every time the cord is moved. While the GE cords will sound great immediately, just leaving them alone in your system will reap benefits everyday for 2 weeks as the ceramics hunt down and eliminate the internal vibrations around the conductors”.

I wholeheartedly like and recommend the Graphene Extreme High Current Power Cords one which is suitable for power conditioners and the other one (Blue) for amps. (Read my above comments in this forum)

To answer a few specific questions I’ve been asked:

I had the Blue GE power cord on my Audiodharma Cable Cooker for 233 hours and then placed it onto my Plinius reference SA amp on Sunday. The amp still sounds as good as when I had my HF UR power cord on it.

I find the GE power cord to sound better than the HF CT-1 power cord.

I find the GE power cord to sound as good as, but probably better than the HiDiamond P4, based upon my memory. It produces a more realistic sweeter sound. Don’t ask me to be more specific because I can’t (Jazz).

The GE power cords sound great on my Allnic T-1500 Integrated 300B amp.

The HF UR power cord sounds better on my HF MC-6 Power Distributor but the GE sounded damn good too. Do the math, it doesn't take a genius!

Obviously, in two weeks I’ll know the entire story.

Best regards...

collaway,
I agree with ozzy, you are really going to like the speaker cables, mine are keepers.

Jazzonthehudson, 
Thanks for the update!
Very interesting!

Maxima95,
What you describe is frustrating and probably a flaw in the way the Cerious Technologies website etc is set up.
Let's call it growing pains.
The system probably works when orders are slow, but I think things have changed and now in high demand. Obviously one man can't do everything.
I also sent an email to Cerious Technologies because I want to order their speaker cables and haven't heard back as of yet either.
No offense meant or intended to anyone but I find the Cerious Technologies website hard to use and understand.
However the products very good, and worth waiting for.

Maxima95,
Did Bob get back to you?

Charles1dad & et al,
To clarify, I think the Graphene Extreme power cords sounded better than my HF CT-1 power cord.
The Graphene Extreme power cords sound very good  as far as I'm concerned.
My HF-UR power cord is superior.
I do have HF U power cords but as of yet, was not able to do a compairson because of length constraints.

As states earlier the Graphene Extreme High Current power cord sounds much better on my Allnic T-1500 Integrated 300B amp and on my HF MC-6 power distributor than the HF-CT-1 power cord.
I think the Graphene Extreme High Current power cord (or one that isn't high current made for lets say a preamp, CDP, Dac etc) would sound good. Just my opinion/guess because I have not tried it and probably won't because I'm really pleased with what I'm hearing.

Maxima95, glad to hear the news!

There was a special pricing ad on Audiogon (which I no longer see) at that time I believe the price for a standard length Graghene Extreme power cord was around $300, could have been more. They might have listed for a similar price as the Synergistic Research Black Quantum power cord. If I’m incorrect I appologise ahead of time.

To anyone that uses the GE Interconnects (RCA):
How are they sounding?
Compared to which interconnects?
How are the highs sounding, accurate or rolled off?
Thanks in advance...

Charles1dad,
That's an excellent question that I don't feel comfortable answering because my two GE power cords are high current and the SR Black isn't a high current power cord. (Could be apples to oranges, I really don't know). I will say that I'd be happy with either one and have no intention of returning any of them, they are both excellent!
I do like the pricing on the Cerious Technologies products and find the power cords excellent.
I'm waiting to receive their speaker cables and down the road, maybe I'll try their interconnects and digital cable. I do like what I'm hearing, and what I've read from other trusted members ;-)!

I purchased a Synergistic Research Black UEF power cord (regular not high current) that I burned in on my cable cooker for 210 hours.
Although I own two Cerious Technologies GE high current power cords that continue to sound great, the SR Black power cord sounds very similar (same type of sound chartists) as the Cerious Technologies GE high current power cords.

Long ago I purchased an Equi=Tech Model Q2 (which I still have and use in a bedroom system), so I’m aware of the benefits of balanced power.
With that said I purchased a CPT W300 power cord thats due to arrive Monday. I’ll burn it in on my cable cooker.
I can then compare the CPT to the GE High current power cord and the HF UR power cord on a power distributer center for my front end equipment.

Charles1dad,
I will attempt to test the SR Black power cord and the GE high current power cord in the Yamoto Dac in the system with my Allnic 1500 (300 B Integrated amp). The only trick is to take into consideration that I currently have a HF U power cable plugged into that Dac. Results to follow in a few days or so?

Bob has always been a gentleman to me both on the phone and in emails. 100% professional! I'd nave a hard time believing anything else.

The GE Power Cord (high current version) is the winner over the HF CT-1 Power cord in my system.

Audiolabyrinth; I would also like to thank you for your kind words.

Jond; I agree with your post located directly above.
I think Bob is a perfectionist and he also thinks outside of the box. He has always had a rock solid design that he has built upon. 

Lucky us!

@charles1dad,
As you know comparing HFC products to other products is very difficult and frustrating because of the lingering effects of magnetic conduction, and the slow restart up of magnetic conduction.
This forces the listener to rely upon their memory verses a direct comparison A vs B vs C etc.
With that said, here is my personal finding, testing my (standard) Synergistic Research Black power cord to the Cerious Technologies (high current) Graphene Extreme power cord, HF-CT-1 power cord and HF-CT-1Ultimate power cord in the Yamamoto Dac.:
To my ears, I could not distinguish a difference between the SR Black power cord and the GE power cord. They both sounded very good.
The SR Black power cord and the GE power cord sounded as good as the HF CT-1. Maybe the SR Black power cord and the GE power cord sounded a bit more organic. This is where you would have to listen for yourself.
The HF-CT-1Ultimate power cord definitely sounded the better. The music was more refined and had a magical magnetic conduction sound, that to my ears just sounds right and very pleasing.
Based upon monetary expense each of us must decide what our pocket books can afford ;-)
Larry

Thanks guys for your responses and support.
LOL; I just received a CPT 300 today that I'll burn in and give it a comparison to some of the other power cords when I have time. I agree with what Ozzy said big and heavy. At least these products are affordable.

Colloway;
Excellent job, I enjoyed reading the review!

After 100 hours on the cable burner I put the Cerious Technologies Graphene Speaker Cables into my system. Wow! I'm extremely impressed so far. With more hours in the system I'm thinking they can only sound better then the Wow I currently hear.

@Infection: CT-1 Ultimate Speaker Cables.

Labo53 and Charles1dad;
I have one CT GE power conditioner (blue) power cord on my Plinius SA Reference amp and one CT GE high current power cord  in my other system on my Allnic T-1500 (300B) Integrated amp. I burned these power cords in for over 200 hours on my Audiodharma cable cooker and they are in my two systems (untouched or moved) now for four weeks. I believe they are fully burned in, I like them, and I'm going to keep them.
Unfortunately, I've never heard or used the power cord that the two of you are referring to.
At the given price, could not hurt to try them ;-)...

Calloway, I look forward to your thoughts on the CPT 300.
I've been burning in my CPT 300 on my cable cooker since 5/23.
I'm waiting to receive Bob's GE Digital cable and Interconnects (RCA) sometime this week and then at that point I'll put them on the cable cooker and put the CPT 300 into the system for a listen ;-).

Thaluza,
Thanks for the review.
Well done!

I received the CT GE Digital cable (RCA) ans one pair of Interconnects (RCA) yesterday. I've got them on the cable cooker now, for probably three days before inserting into the Integrated 300B system. 

Calloway,
Great news regarding your CT GE Blue high current power cords.
I think you are going to like the CT GE speaker cables and they are going to outperform the HF CT-1U speaker cables.
I agree with a comment that I believe Ozzy made a while ago. The CPT-300 is a wonderful power cord (takes a while to fully broken in) to use on some type of a power strip for front end components.

I placed the CT GE Didital cable on my cable burner for 90 hours and then put it in my secondary system, with great results.
I would compare the sonics of the CT GE Digital cable to the expensive Stealth Varidg Sextet digital cable I use to own.
Very good bass, mids and highs, an all around good digital cable that's very natural sounding and musical.

Ozzy,
I got the Digital (RCA).
In my main system I'm currently using the HF UR Digital cable. I have not as of yet tried the CT GE Didital cable in my main system because it's still in the process of break in.

Audiolabyrinth,
Yes. I attached the CPT 300 to a power strip (in my secondary system) and powered my Transport, Dac, and FM tuner and get great results.
There are some CT GE power cords that run off the power strip as well as some high end HFC power cords.

Audiolabyrnith,
My main system is a loom of HFC, minus the speaker cables, and amp power cord.
My secondary system is a mix of CT GE, HFC, HiDimond and CPT 300.
It is a challenge moving cables around to audition them with the HFC, and I'm tired of doing that, but I have cables where I want them as far as I'm conserned.

kclone, 
I'm guessing you received the power cords and interconnects at the same time and installed them all the same day?
I'm just wondering what the culpert is, power cords or interconnects?
Additional hours might make an improvement as ozzy mentioned.
Please keep us posted.

Bob, you are correct!

I'm not against taking Ginkgo Biloba tablets however I would recommend anyone thinking about taking it google the possible sideeffects and/or consult your physican, espically if you are being treated for hypertension or have a heart issue.

kclone,
I'm glad to hear that additional burn in time did the trick.
Dod you have to alter the positioning of your speakers?

Bob,
Congratulations upon your daughters marrige ;-)!

You can't please everyone regardless of how hard you try.
+1 RGrost!

Jmcgrogan & Jazzonthehudson...I just have to smile!
;-)

Kclone,
Connecting the speaker cables:
As long as both speaker cables are color coded the exact same way to the amp and speakers it doesn't matter how you do it. Just do it. The exact same way on both the left cable and the right cable.

I have both a yellow and blue pc.
I use the yellow on my amp and the blue on my Equi=Tech Q2.
If I remember correctly I believe the blue pc is better suited to handle the greater power needs. If I'm incorrect, then someone please assist.
