NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables

CT Graphene Matrix Cables:

I have been using the CT GE cables for almost two years.
I recently traded up for a full loom of CT Graphene Matrix cables, including speaker, interconnect and PCs, and I wanted to share my experience. I started by replacing only the ICs to try and hear the differences.

The new Matrix interconnects sounded better than the GE immediately after install. I found the original Graphene Extreme ICs to be good but not on the same level as the outstanding GE speaker cables. As break-in started to clear things up, I can hear more clarity and detail not heard before. The ICs are incredible on their own and at the 30 hour mark, I can hear a clear superiority over the GE ICs. I recently started using the Teo Game Changer ICs and preferred them over GE but the Teo has now fallen to the new Graphene Matrix ICs. My Teo’s were and are great, and it is stunning to experience Cerious Technologies commitment to making great technology better.

On the third day of listening to the GM ICs. I couldn’t wait anymore, Having too much fun. I then installed the speaker cables and power cords once I had a pretty good feel for the sound of the GM ICs.

With the full loom of GM cables running in they are going through some strange changes and definitely need time to settle down before realizing what they can really do and very important Bob says to not move them. Since I have a home office I can let them run in all day. I’m at around 120 hours now and they are still improving. Here’s what I’m hearing:

Extended highs and tighter lows.
More detail and better low level listening
Drums are tighter, more clearly defined. So real is the snap of the snare drum. The bass has more depth, seemingly goes deeper, lower. This aspect stands out the most.

I am not in the industry, I’m not an engineer, I don’t work for Cerious Technologies, but I am a fan of the cables and am enjoying what my system is capable of.

I’m closer to my own pinnacle of sound reproduction than ever before.

@joecasey I have the Matrix umbilical cord and it's a damn good cable. I attempted to contact Bob to order another one but he didn't reply. 

Instead, I ordered a VH Audio V-Quad Cu21 and it's a damn good cable too. This cable needs time to burn in but it'll be worth the short wait. Chris also sells Oyaide DC plugs if you need them.

Ozzy brought up a product that may help fix the stiffness issue. Voodoo Cable can make make you a custom right angle adapter. I use one my system and it works well. There are many other adapters on their site that may help in your situation.

@rgrost Consider experimenting with the Schroeder Method in your R&D activities.

@ozzy 

I understand that it would not be practical to incorporate the Schroeder Method using his current cable designs. I mentioned research and development for that very reason. He might be able to improve his designs with a thinner one.

Bob can be elusive. Good luck reaching him. The last time that I tried to contact him was last year to inquire about obtaining another Matrix DC cable. I only heard crickets after a couple of attempts.

Does anyone have experience with the Matrix digital IC? What cables other cables have you experienced?

This thread has gone quiet but here's something to revive it: I purchased a 4 foot Matrix DC cable a few months ago. The noise floor is dead quiet. It's a damn good umbilical. 

I emailed Bob to purchase another one but he hasn't replied. He must still be busy from his holiday sale.
