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.

Is the Matrix PC a little heavy and stiff like the GE PCs?  I'm asking because I have a few bends to navigate and would like to get the shortest length that is practicable.  My experience with heavy/stiff cables is that you have to get them a little longer.

Thank you for the information.

For what it is worth, my experience with the NCF and non-NCF FI-50(R) on the Furutech S55N dovetails with yours.

My experience with the Furutech FI-50(R) and FI-50(R) NCF, mirrors Tom's.  I listened to both on Dave's PL 11 and a Furutech  s55n.   If I already had the FI-50(R), I would not replace it with the NCF.   If I didn't  already have the FI-50(R), I would be reluctant to pay the extra $ for the NCF.  


Does anyone who compared the Matrix and DPS 4 (NCF or other ends) PCs have any observations?

Thanks
The FI-50 and the Viborg specs say they accept a cable up to 20 mm.  The FI-28 is specified up to 17.5 mm.
