NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
| Post removed |
@lancelock I really like the sound of the GE and I’m local and the price is good. Just that when I put them in between my line stage and power amp I hear faint radio voices. I sent off an email via the Cerious site and haven’t heard anything. As I was gunning to start adding interconnects and speaker cables later this year I’m now not sure what to do. |
Sorry to hear about all your troubles with those customers Bob. As you said the world has gone mad... BTW your cables were recommended as the best option for my modest budget by a common friend: Ken Golden. I will buy the
Graphene Matrix
Speaker cables from you as soon as I finish saving for them... |
Hi everyone...Bob here from Cerious. Well the world has flat out gone crazy. I am experiencing things I never have before. The breakdown of common courtesy. I have had two orders of full looms. One the customer said they just did not feel comfortable going ahead as times were "precarious" and they changed their mind (after the whole order was ready to ship...). The second was a local customer (Scottsdale) who said they could come and pick it up in person. I should never start an order before getting paid but since we were shooting for the weekend I went gung ho and completed it ( I am in the doghouse with the wife over this one...). The customer never paid, never returned an email. Just disappeared. Maybe they got a great deal on some cables from the trunk of someone's car who just looted...oh excuse me...liberated a high end store. Hopefully they were thoughtful enough to pick up a Coach purse for their wife as over 400 were cleaned out of the Scottsdale Coach store. So...I am offering a list of the cables I have available and I will give a very good deal. My faith in humanity is already on life support so no 90% off offers please! Here goes: [3 pair] 1.5M RCA Matrix Damping Squared IC [3 pair] 1.5M XLR Matrix Damping Squared IC [1 pair] 2M XLR Matrix Damping Squared IC [1 pair] 3M XLR Matrix Damping Squared IC These are the first and only set ever made at 3M. They took a month to make... [2 pair] 1M XLR Matrix Damping Squared IC [1 Set] 10 foot Matrix Damping Squared Speaker Cables all spades [1 Set] 8 foot Matrix Damping Squared Speaker Cables [1 Set] 6 foot Matrix Damping Squared Speaker Cables all spades [1 Set] 2 foot Matrix Damping Squared Speaker Cables spades/Bananas [2] 6 foot Matrix Damping Squared Power Cables Rhodium [2] 8 foot Matrix Damping Squared Power Cables Rhodium [6] 5 foot Matrix Damping Squared Power Cables Rhodium Since I used to have a sense of humor I would normally end on some witty remark but these are not allowed anymore. Thank God for music! Peace to all and thank you so much for being such a great group of customers. Stay safe and speak truth to power (that is something that has flipped 180 degrees in the last three weeks!). Bob Cerious |
@rgrost Consider experimenting with the Schroeder Method in your R&D activities. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/doug-schroeder-method-double-ic?highlight=schroeder%2Bmethod&page=10 |
I did receive my Graphene Matrix Speaker Cables early April. Thank you Bob! Sorry to read about your challenging times. Enjoyed the Cables as soon as they were connected to the system. I realised ever since how great this decision has been. Thanks to all those who recommended the Graphene Matrix. Makes my day everyday. |
Hi everybody. Sorry for the lack of posting. My daughter had our first Grandchild and she had a troubled pregnancy, which would normally have not been that big of a deal but with all the Covid going on it was a nightmare. No one allowed to visit in the Hospital or see the child that was in ICU as it was a Premature birth. Travel to and from Omaha was a hassle. Everyone doing fine now and trying to get back to "normal" which is exactly what the powers that be do not want. Steven Jobs dreamed of a world where everyone sat at home and their only connection with the world was through a screen they controlled. Now we have Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter...all creating as much panic as possible to keep us "safe" behind our screens. My wife is a mail carrier and her Amazon deliveries are up 40%! I lived most of my life in Michigan and my heart goes out to my friends still stuck there. As a Physicist I have witnessed the death of Science over the last 25 years as academia willingly traded the tenets of sound science for grant money. We are almost into this for six months and we still are not sure if we should wear masks, much less what particle size the virus actually is so we know what kind of mask will actually work...because we all know that a mask is a mask and they are all the same! Cerious is back to work and will do everything possible to take great care of you our customers. If you want anything just ask. Best to keep me busy. When I am left alone with time on my hands I start coming up with ideas! Or as my wife would say "Oh no, not again!". |
steve_noodles I had a similar issue with a power cable as mentioned where I’d get shocked when touching the chassis and cable at the same time. I found that the ground cable became disconnected from the IEC plug.You actually had two problems: The faulty cable (which you corrected) and a component fault that caused the chassis to be hot. Did you troubleshoot the cause of that? |
Curious if anyone else out there is getting zapped from these PCs? I recently had reason to be handling the area behind my amp and got zapped. Pulled the Matrix from the amp and was getting zapped when touching the outer shielding. Put back an older extream and its not shocking me and the sub goes into standby again. Told Bob about it and was promised a replacement would be shipped out the next day along with another cord I had ordered. Not even getting responses to my emails now About giving up on his whole deal. Would be good to know if this is an isolated failure or common. Considering if I shouldn't pull all the cords out of my system before I get a fried component or worse. Wife is way pissed seeing that expensive cord laying out on the table. |

Lak, You’ve sort of answered part of the question, you don't expect much of a gain on the sub between the 2 of Bob’s cord. I had a mix of PCs in the system and currently in the process of selling off what isn’t a Matrix. Now that I have a new pair of subs coming I thought about the Blue which is in the sell pile. Thinking maybe get another blue for the other sub and it might be a solid cheap solution. Could get yet another pair of Matrix and still sell the blue, or just stay with the Rel supplied cord. Found the manual interesting where Rel didn’t refer to courtesy cord. Maybe they supply a decent cord to start with. |
I very much like Bob and the Cerious products, especially the Graphene and Matrix lines. With that said if you are already using a Graphene Blue power cord (if I understand your original question correctly) on your REL subwoofers, I doubt that upgrading to the Matrix power cord is going to make an improvement with the subwoofers. If there is an improvement for me personally it's not going to be worth the upgrade cost. I will admit I have not compared the Graphene Blue to the Matrix power cords on my Subwoofers. |
So, fwiw, I'll give my impressions as a newbie listener without the terminology I've read here so often describing equipment. I've certainly didn't go about hooking up the new cables as I probably should have. I just connected everything all at once. No A/B. No comparisons, nothing. Just plugged in 3 Matrix PCs, Speaker wires, Center Channel Speaker wires, interconnects for center and L&R fronts, I think that's it. Immediately I could hear a difference. I will say it is definitely a better sound than my stock cords and BJC speaker cables and interconnects. The sound is "cleaner" and less harsh, but it was not really harsh to begin with. It's hard to explain. Of course I have no idea what is making the difference, because I've swapped out so many things. Ha! Honestly, I don't care, it is definitely better and that was my goal. I'm not sure if it's placebo effect, but I do hear more details in the music. Not sure if it is "louder" or just "popping" more out of the speakers. It does seem more "effortless" and now I think I know what "refined" means. Ha again! Anyway, I guess 100's of hours break in etc etc... But I'm happy so far. Thanks, RGrost is a good guy too. Thank you again PS I am still acquiring pieces to turn my HT system into a dual set up for streaming. I'm still using an AV receiver with a BS Node 2. Going slow but I'll get there. |
Hi Everyone! Bob from Cerious... The last six months have been great for us, setting a sales record for a six month span. Since launching our Cyber sale we have sold more in this one month than in the previous six! Added on top of this is a shipping network that is collapsing under the weight of on line shopping (Amazon..). It has taken 15 days for customers to get their shipments. Since many have wanted to try the Graphene Matrix and then were planning on adding on to it and taking advantage of the additional discounts this lost timing has "cost" them this opportunity. Anyone who has dealt with me knows I do everything I can to take care of my customers so I want everyone to know that everyone who orders even a single cable will be Grandfathered in to the further discounts of the Cyber sale. So...if you try a GM cable you get 30% off and are locked in for the next three months (!) of the additional -40%/50%. Please be patient as we are literally having trouble keeping up running invoices. So keep the faith we will take care of you and have a Happy New Year and just let us know what you are interested in and we will do everything we can to get you taken care of... Bob CT |
