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.

Ozzy,
would you happen to know how the Matrix IC's compare to the HF CT-1? I'm currently using the CT-1 interconnects and GE speaker cables. I'm very happy with the sound.........but always looking for ways to improve the sound. 

These new Matrix cables are very intriguing. I love the natural, organic sound of the of the GE speaker cables and it sounds like the new cables increase upon their good qualities.

Thanks Calloway and Ozzy,

Looks like I need to order some Matrix cables. Just when I thought I was done making improvements to my system. I know, wishful thinking on my part!

Ain't that the truth, aniwolfe! 

I'm resigned to just trying the Matrix IC's for now, but I know better, I'll be ordering the speaker cables, power cords and a digital cable before long. THEN I'll be done........with cables.......maybe :)

Ok, I'm ready to pull the trigger on some Matrix cables but can't afford a full loom at this time. I need a new digital cable so I'm going to order the damping squared. I can either replace my High Fidelity CT-1's with the damping squared IC's or replace my Groneberg PC's with Matrix PC's. Any suggestions on which to get first? The Matrix speaker cables will have to wait until spring. Thanks.

Seriously Calloway? That's amazing.....and encouraging. 

Thanks Lance, IC's and digital cable it is......with SC's and PC's down the road. 

Just when I thought I was all set with cables too!

After months of dragging my feet I finally ordered the Matrix speaker cables and they arrived today. Having owned the GE's previously I was acquainted with their build quality and massive size and weight and the Matrix don't disappoint in his regard.

 I was prepared to endure listening to subpar music as these cables burned in but to my surprise they sound amazingly good right out of the shoot. Like stupid good. I'm anxiously awaiting just how good they'll sound after burning in.

 Bob was a pleasure to work with and I appreciate his prompt shipping. It's a no brainer now.....a full loom of Matrix cables is in my future.....with no foot dragging this time!

The same here in SE MI jl35. Wish my SET amp wasn’t in for repair though. 

Poor Bob......has a wife demanding he upgrade his audio system. I wouldn’t have ever dreamed of such a scenario. It’s no wonder Bob loves his wife, I’ve never met her and I do too! 😀🔉

I received an email from Bob yesterday. He’s sending me some power cords this week. Must just be having site issues that will hopefully be resolved soon.
