NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
I agree completely about the break in!   I just received my Audioquest Hurricane yesterday, so I put it on my amp last night.  Right off, it sounded like a lot of bass and not very clear.  I almost wanted to take it out right away.  Sometimes, my ...

@lancelock I've been wishing for a while to try a Matrix with gold connections (I've found that I don't like rhodium), so I don't think I'll be able to compare, which is why I was asking.  I will let everyone know what I think.  I currently have a...

Has anyone tried the new Audioquest Storm series power cords?   I just ordered a Hurricane and will be trying it out.  Just curious to know if anyone has compared the AQ's to the Matrix cords?Dave

Is this your first Matrix PC, or have you had the rhodium version as well?  If not, what will you be comparing it to?   Looking forward to your thoughts, once you get some time on the Matrix PC.Dave

@bugredmachine Interesting what you mentioned about Bob convincing you to get the Gold ends on the power cord, rather than the rhodium. I asked a while back about gold vs. rhodium and most of the guys mentioned that they had the rhodium ends. Two ...

I meant that perfectpathtech was calling out ozzy - not sure why??   If we disagree with something, it's probably better to explain why we disagree with it, rather than just calling it untrue and nonsense - that doesn't help at all.Dave

It might help to have some explanation from perfectpathtech, rather than just calling someone out - not a very classy move, even if something is not being conveyed the way they prefer.Dave

According to Lance, the GM's are better.Dave

So, after 20 hours they were really close to the Valhalla.  How did they compare to the Valhalla after 130 hours?Dave

That is a great question.  For me, it seems to have a lot of detail in certain frequencies, but it does not seem even across all frequencies.  I sometimes hear dull spots - like it's smoothing it out too much.   When you first plug one in, it seem...

Thanks for the responses!  I was curious because I've had power cords with rhodium connectors, and I can tell the sonic signature every time.  For me, there are some things to like, but other things that kind of bug me.  Many love rhodium, but per...

Thanks @genjamon  !Does anyone have the Cerious power cords with different (gold) connectors?Dave 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
@genjamon  - for your Matrix power cord(s), what ends are on the stock cable - gold, silver, rhodium?Thanks,Dave 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
It's amazing how much connectors can affect the sonics.  I've even been amazed at the difference between gold, silver, and rhodium connectors.  So I'm sure it's a balance of finding connectors that provide great sound, as well as reliability and c...
