Cerious cables - Proper setup and run in time


Results on testing Cables especially Cerious cables
These cables need at least 4 days to settle in, if you take them out of the system, (The process starts over again.)That is the only proper way to do this , because of the liquid ceramic , that is the only way to fairly judge them point 2. if your loudspeakers are over 90 db effficient Bob needs to know at Cerious , also if you are in a high Magnetic area such as airports. Bob would rather not have to sheild them if possible. High efficiency
loudspeakers will bring out hum for sure in a non sheilded cable ,that is why results showed this on a 101db loudspeakers at Srajans .Try the test under these guide lines I have laid down, after 4 days you will see a totally more positive result, a very natural not pushed presentation. Please remember , and try this,
many times people get used to artificial enhancments
Like a Valhala cable for example excellent in some areas and applications,way to clinical in other systems dependand as in most all cables,
and preference .Go to a symphony and listen,
things in life are ususally smoother than you experience on a playback system ,especially cd , ananlog is allways smoother .I have been a audio engineer for over 30 years and have voiced several electrostatic loudspeakers .
Where in the midrange they are natural, and magical.
The big debate on reference cables, compared to in life , or not, also Bob at Cerious needs to ask how efficient
the speakers are,impedances, and the environment and surroundings to
give sheilded cables if needed .This will become standard procedure soon. Happy listening, PJ.

In the archives I see only 3 cables that you've reviewed. None of them are even close to reference level or high end caliber cables. Regarding owning and hearing dozens, that could only be bravado IMO. Color me totally unimpressed.
Talk about hilarious, Stanhifi and Judy426, have no review experience nor any credibility here and they are criticizing Edgar. What gall! Stanhifi will not even list his system and he wants Edgar to list his listening notes. He values Sergan's review and does not want listening notes there, when everyone knows he has a terrible listening environment. It is clear to me and probably everyone else on this thread and others that Stanhifi and probably Judy have nothing to offer.
Regarding my response to Stan:

It wasn't till after I responded that I did a search and realized you had in fact auditioned the cables in your system, so I appologize about the "selling" comment.

That being said, Cerious is shipping out my entire set of cables this week, which includes RCA and XLR IC's speaker and power cords.

Call me a sucker for the latest in technolgy, but I ordered a set of their speakers as well, the Two/bass, which will take a few more weeks to arrive.

If the cables don't suit my current speakers, obviously I'll have to wait to pass judgement till the speakers arrive.

I'm confident though that since I'll be using Cerious cables and speakers, that they will match quite well. It seems most people ordering one of their speakers would try the cables, so I'm sure they were voiced with that in mind.

Actually I'm looking forward to having thier cables smooth the top end a bit of my current system. I just received the brand new PS Audio phono stage today, and it sounds wonderful, but is so extended on top (same with my PS Audio GCC-100 pre/amp) that it aggrivates my tinnitus a bit (which is bad today for some reason)

This PS audio gear gain cell stuff (to me anyway) is so extended on the top that some sources (CD) can sound a bit harsh on top. They have so much more information compared to Spectral gear I upgraded from (which I still have for comparison) that cables with a relaxed high end could just be the ticket for me.

This whole thing reminds me of how MIT cable used to be rolled in the highs because the spectral gear was so wideband it could use the taming. (Though I did move on to other cables that were not rolled in the highs with good result)

I will certainly keep people posted as the cables arrive (and settle) and then soon after once the speakers arrive.

I'll also be letting people in the NYC area have a chance to hear the Cerious gear in person (provided everything works out sonically).

I made this offer to Cerious since I live in a major market and their is currently no where to hear these products in the area, and since there has been a bit of a controversary surrounding their cables.

I have a friend who also bought the speakers, and I thought I was brave to initially try both the ics and speaker wires.

Remember that after installation they will not sound at all good for 24 hours. Every time you move them they take time to recover thus making it hard to compare them with other cables.

I am anxious to hear about your experience with the speakers although I void to never buy an inefficient speaker.
Why would anybody buy the speakers after hearing the cables? Must be a masochistic audiophile.
Ouch!!
