Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables

Now, this is not a advertisement, just a posting sharing my experience on some well made great sounding cables at a very reasonable price. Besides, I don't think Cerious Technologies is set up for a big influx of cable orders.

But, if you get the chance to try these cables, please do.

I have been interested in the newer cables coming out that are using Graphene as a conductor. SR cables seemed interesting, but I always hated the way there cables had all those extra wires (with the active shields and such). I then noticed an ad early in I think November or December from Cerious Technologies for Graphene cables. I investigated how the cables were assembled and it seemed like quite a laborious process.

I ordered (with a 30 day money back guarantee) the balanced Graphene interconnects, and boy did they impress me. Such depth, soundstage, realism, frequency smoothness, effortless sound. I was truly impressed!  I now have a complete loom of the Cerious Technologies Graphene cables. That is; interconnects, speaker cables, digital cables and power cords.

I ended up selling all of my other cables and to those of you who have read my postings know that cables have always been my curiosity.

So, as I began this post, let me again iterate, I have no alliance to the company, my posting is for those of you looking for an great alternate high quality Graphene made cable without spending a fortune.

I have not seen any advertisement of anyone using graphene in audio products for its noise shielding capabilities.  Conductivity in general seems to be the attraction.

Also no mention so far I can find of its use in wires for audio or any other purpose other than vendor marketing literature.

Main projected use in electronics appears to be use in semi-conductors and other apps where its apparent power delivery limitations are not a factor.

Still it is an interesting proposition to use more highly conductive materials in traditional applications. Time will tell. Almost all marketing claims alone can be taken with at least one grain of salt.

This is an interesting product as described nonetheless. Would love to be able to give a test run if not too expensive. I can see where its mixed use with other more traditional materials capable of delivering power and current needed might reap some benefit but not sure . Use of graphene in actual applications today seems to be on the rise but I wonder how cost prohibitive it might be for many apps still. High end audio is always ripe marketing ground for these things regardless.

Interesting stuff. Thanks!

Its so nice to have a vendor actually jump in and help people understand whats going on with their products in these threads rather than leave it mostly up to people’s imagination. I appreciate that!!!!

Currently I use DNM Reson ICs. The more conventional single strand approach there seems to make things sound more "coherent" to me compared to others. I wonder if similar principles at play there, sans Graphene? I tried them initially just to hear what I call a "minimalist" single strand approach would sound like compared to others and no others have weaned me off since.

All one has to do to know Graphene is real and not snake oil and see the potential value of graphene in electronics in general is some simple google searches.

The trick with any useful new innovative technology is always in the proper application. Any current applications for wires, fuses etc. are most likely limited still and the value not always clear case by case. The devil is always in the details. But over time, I am optimistic graphene will assume a larger role in more electronics in general based on its unique and useful physical properties.

Meanwhile, it is not yet a mainstream technology for home audio so take all claims with a few grains of salt but if the facts line up don’t be afraid to try if the value proposition works for you.


Also keep in mind better application of technology may equate in general with better performance but even that does not always = better sound. Sound quality will always be very much in the ear of the listener and a fairly subjective thing to determine in the end.

Sounding like the real deal versus some other bigger ticket wires that get a lot of buzz around here.

Not a stupid question at all.  Don't know the answer.  A lot of the unque value for applications comes from being only one atom thick as I understand  it.
