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.

How flexible are Cerious AC cords ? ,.....Hate trying to bend re-bar like cords to fit however I don’t want wet noodle either which I have both these types currently in my system  . I never really put much emphasis to ac cords however now that’s it 2018 maybe I should ,.
Lancelock I may do changes with wire in my system this new year and will consider Cerious .
I have a collective mishmash of power cords some of which are twenty years old like XLO , Signal Cable and the stiffest pair are Shunyata Taipan .

Like most I had notable changes in sound quality trying different brands of wire however these changes in sound were mostly with interconnects and speaker wire , power cords not so much except one ,
I thought to mention this because I noticed you use Bernings amp .The old Shunyata  Taipan power cord reacted well with David Bernings Siegfried amps I had years ago , it was incredible how much noise that amp through off and how effective this particular power cord was especially reducing the noise floor , it was huge . Berning had a little headphone amplifier back then that reacted the same way with the Tiapan power cord .

That was the only time I experienced such a shift in performance using any power cord on any other components I tried with , going through the Shunyata line of ac wire on my other components had subtle effect to none , nothing anywhere close to what the Tiapan did for the Berning amps.
Calloway , I had symular issues with my component stand and an area rug where I had to station the rack further out from the wall onto an antique area rug , long story , spouse involved,.....

Anyone using the Graphene Matrix Damping Square interconnects? 
If so what were you using prior to the change ,? 
Lance , are you using the standard Matrix interconnects or the Damping Squired ?  
My first visit to their web page I remember reading a brief discription of the two top end interconnects, the standard Graphene Matrix RCA for $1000.00 and the Graphene Matrix Damping Squared for $1200.00.
My second visit to their web page I don’t recall seeing the standard Matrix mentioned also I had trouble scrolling through the discription and thought that could be my iPad acting up however didn’t someone mention the layout of their web page was totally new ? 

Just some constructive criticism,...I don’t like thier site one bit and it would be nice seeing better photos of their product line  ,..

Well I’m going to have to place an order , what was the average wait time ?
Lancelock since you have wired your entire system with Cerious Technology have you since made any changes to your cable loom specifically your CT power cords for any reason. ?
I like CTs choice of specific power cord duties for system needs specifically what I’m looking for are power cords for low current components that specify low capacitance wire to perform optimally. 
 
Just took delivery of CTs Damping Squared interconnects , generally I really dislike evaluating wire however following this thread for a while finally convinced me to give them a try with emphasis on CTs 30 day return policy. 
Well I’m impressed with what I’m hearing compared to my much more expensive cables , As they settle in I’m hearing better definition, depth , harmonic density and much more little nuances then before for starters,.,...

Well done Cerious Technologies ! 

Ozzy ,the speaker cables for sure and I have to ask if you compared any of your Furutech power cords to CTs . I need to fit my new PS Audio DSM and Dac with better power cords .
Ozzy Im really look forward to your comments and any comparison with your other ac power cords ,.

On another topic I see you are using Wireworlds Platinum Starlight 7 in place of PS Audios 12s cable which depending on length averages at about 8 times the cost of PS Audios cable , do you feel it’s well worth it ?
