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.

So the Oyaide TUNAMI GPX-R V2 is the flagship?  I didn't even know that existed.   I already have the Black Mamba V2 (professionally built one) on the way.  Darn at those cheaper prices I would have rather gone for the "flagship" at 300.00 than the lower performing Black Mamba cable at 200.00.  That is of course if the Oyaide TUNAMI GPX-R V2 is truly the better performer Than the Black Mamba V2.  I guess it could be system dependent.  Anyone know sonically what the difference between these two PCs would be?  I thought about trying the Matrix PC, but the inflexibility of the cord is keeping me away so far.  


. Right or wrong, I use cables to offset the nature of my recordings with the gear.  Sometimes it can be challenging to get a system to relax a little and I just don't think neutral cables cut it in that department.  So based on my preference I would want a warmer PC and it sounds like the Graph. Matrix may work.  But first things first, I am going to keep an open mind and try out the Black Mamba V2 I already have on the way.

t_ramey had the Black Mamba on the way.  Give him a few days, the Black Mamba needs 250 hours to burn in so he won't be able to do comparisons for awhile.
