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.

@toetapaudio balanced power yes I am.
Core Power Technology 1800 and Equi=Tech Model 2Q.
I've acquired a lot over the years. 
@klh007  and @lak , thanks for the heads up on Core Power Technology. They look well made but the ratings are a bit low. Here in the U.K. there is an industrial transformer manufacturer who makes balanced power supplies, cost for example about £300 for 3kVA, £500 for 5kVA. Is there anything special about the CPT transformers that might make them better?

Equi=Tech have a reputation for making really good balanced power, their transformers are made in Canada by an OEM manufacturer. The same manufacturer also supply Westwick here in the U.K., who do a lot of studio installations. They are a bit cheaper than Equi=Tech but still pricey at £5k for 8kVA. Apparently they are better than the cheaper manufacturer I mentioned but then they are ten times the price.
I can vouch for the cost/performance value of the Cerious Red Power cord. It made a big positive audio improvement for my Oppo 105D. Will eventually invest in a Blue Power cord for my Coda CSiB integrated.

If anyone is looking to unload their Teo Game Changers to get the Graphene Matrix please let me know.
@meambler , I have 2 sets left of Teo GCs. One 1.5M and one .5M

Im using nothing but Matrix from here on out.

@rgrost 

I would appreciate a response, when you are able.

Can you please answer the gauge of the power cords?

Also, does the design of the speaker cable, with "The backbone for the negative conductors utilizes 6 gauge Silver wire encased in OFC copper and Graphene powder, which is then encased in over 4 pounds of copper shot and ceramic damping spheres..." not apply to the other Matrix cables, or even the positive and ground of the speaker cable?

Has anyone heard from him?

Thanks!
