Does anyone who has tried the Graphene Extreme ICs also have experience with Crimson Music Link ICs? I have the Crimsons and am pretty happy with them. They are both neutral AND musically involving. I am intrigued by the GEs, though. Especially at a price where I can afford to try them.
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.

Just ordered a low current (RED) PC for my CEC TL-5 CD Transport, and an XLR digital cable. Can’t wait to get them! I heard a substantial improvement when I swapped an SR black fuse for the stock one in the transport. I have high hopes that the GE PC will take it even further. It will be interesting to see how the digital cable compares to the Tara Labs ISM The One Digital I bought in 2001. Even back then, the Tara cost almost five times as much. |
"I feel with the CT there is a more realistic sound or perhaps less coloration. The sound stage is bigger and deeper and none of these changes are subtle. Most importantly I am enjoying the music more." This is a good description of what I am experiencing with the digital cable. The sound is more relaxed, more "analog-like", if you will. The subtleties of the music come through clearer, making it easier to connect with the emotion and message. |
Just got a pair of GE ICs yesterday. Based on what some have posted here about the ICs, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was hoping they’d be an improvement, but maybe not as dramatic a one as the digital cable and PCs. I put them between my DAC and passive pre. Wow! I think they are still burning in, but they have already far surpassed the ICs they replaced (Crimson Audio). The "realness" of voices & instruments is almost scary, and I’m getting a much better sense of the air and space around them. If they get better with more break-in time, I’m going to be one happy camper. |
The Blue is the High Current version for amplifiers. The Red is Low Current, for DAC, preamp etc. There is also a Yellow, for use with power conditioners. If you’re unsure which one to use for a particular component, email Bob. He is very responsive & helpful. I have Reds on my CD transport & DAC, and a Blue for my amp. I hear benefits very similar to what jas described. I would say the overall improvement in clarity and engagement includes a "sweeter" midrange. |
Charles, I can't make any comparison to your current PCs, but the blue sounds amazing with my ASL Tulip SET. I just swapped out my old Emission Labs mesh plate 45s for a new pair of their 2A3 mesh. I thought I might lose some of that 45 "magic", but the magic is still there, along with a little more authority & headroom. |
Talking about graphene, has anyone tried this contact enhancer? http://madscientist-audio.com/presta/22-graphene-contact-enhancer If not, does anyone want to be the guinea pig and report back? 😉 |
There’s another thread where people are sharing their experiences with the the Matrix cables: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/new-cerious-technologies-upgrade-graphene-matrix-cables?page=... |
