Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables

I can't wait to add the GE power cords to my system. The speaker cables are amazing and the new IC's have made things better yet. With my old cables I was experiencing some upper end glare that grated upon me like the proverbial finger nails across a chalk board. Somehow Bobs cables have eliminated that glare ( except on a few recordings that were probably recorded too "hot") without any loss in detail.......actually there's even more detail. I very much like their natural, organic sounds as it just sounds "right" to me. If the power cords make any further improvements I'll be very happy indeed. 

Cables are not one single strand of conductor. They are virtually always multiple strands of finer wire or other materials twisted together like a rope. When a musical signal is sent through this bundle electrons tend to stay within each individual strand - until - a transient (a louder pulse of music) hits and that is when all heck breaks loose. This added energy causes electrons to "jump" from strand to strand destroying the time constant of the bundle as a whole. If we keep in mind that music is virtually all transients we can see that a signal sent down our bundle will have random electrons arriving on the other end at different times depending on their travels ACROSS the bundle. This just kills imaging and the relationship of initial note and decay which is what makes music sound REAL. At Cerious we use Graphene under high pressure to "fill in" the gaps between individual strands creating a single conductor. Since the Graphene is even lower resistance than the strands themselves the signal tends to flow through the Graphene itself which is surrounded by wire strands of higher resistance. The wire acts almost as a barrier channeling the signal and keeping it within the Graphene strings since the signal wants to travel in the path of least resistance. Here I must add that this is the theory at least which has been borne out by listening tests. Every cable I have designed was approached through this theory and the closest I have been able to produce a real world cable to this design has sounded better than the previous iteration. I am a researcher at my core and work everyday to correlate design to real world performance so I can understand why cables sound the way they do. Graphene has added an incredible tool to the tool chest and we at Cerious will continue to unlock the potential of this breakthrough material.

Hi Bob,
This is my first post on this tread, and I would like to say that your explanation above is really fascinating, and just not something that I would have ever imagined.

Is there a particular sonic signature to the graphene itself?  Just as cables may have different sonic signatures, is it possible that there is a better, middle and worse sounding graphene? 

Thanks and just plain interesting.

As much as I might somewhat admire your bravery for attempting to shed some light on the dodgy subject of how Graphene enhances the signal, I feel it only fair to post out that elections actually don’t travel down the length of the conductor, even ones with Graphene in them. Electron drift velocity is actually quite slow. Painfully slow, in fact. On the order of a few centimeters per minute in copper wire.

To exacerbate things even further with respect to your explanation, in AC circuits such as speaker cables the electrons travel TO AND FRO and are therefore at a virtual standstill. Now, if you incorporate how photons, not electrons, behave in your cables then I might scramble on board. You know, since the electromagnetic wave - I.e., the music signal - that’s traveling from one end of the cables to the other is comprised of photons, not electrons.

we do the difficult quickly, the impossible takes a little longer

I have no knowledge of electricity, which I am sure you will quickly agree to.  But if I remember correctly Al has mentioned that the music signal, whatever it is made up of, like electricity in general, travels the path of least resistance.  If I understand what Bob said, the graphene offers the path of least resistance.  Basically, geoff, are you are saying that Bob is correct other than you would rather he not refer to the signal travelling as electrons?
