Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables

Thanks for the nice words, gentlemen.

Charles, yes, I assumed that "Alet" was either an auto-correct thing or a typo.  Although that happens to be the name of a river in France.  For the record, in my case Al is short for Alfred.

Regarding your comment that followed my previous post, as previously indicated the choice of insulation material will affect the propagation velocity of the cable.  In itself propagation velocity figures to be insignificant in the case of analog signal transmission, since the propagation velocity of pretty much any cable will exceed 50% of the speed of light, and hence the resulting delay will be completely insignificant.  It may very well be significant, though, in many cases involving digital signal transmission, although in ways that are component dependent and don't have a great deal of predictability.  The propagation velocity of a digital cable factors into the rationale underlying the 1.5 meter length recommendation you've probably seen cited as usually having the greatest likelihood of being optimal in S/PDIF applications.  That likelihood, though, will also be highly dependent on certain characteristics of the signal provided by the component which drives the cable, especially what are referred to as signal risetimes and falltimes, which in turn are usually unspecified.  

FWIW, my intuitive guess is that in the case of analog signal transmission the most significant consequence of the choice of insulation material is likely to relate to the effects on the signal of dielectric absorption.

Regarding your comments about overall cable design and construction, yes, that will of course affect resistance, inductance, capacitance, "characteristic impedance," skin effect, and just about any other cable parameter one might name.  Each of which will have varying significances depending on the specific application.

One further point which may be of interest regarding the various forms of electromagnetic waves that I mentioned, namely visible and invisible light, radio signals, X-rays, gamma rays, microwave radiation, and any kind of electrical signal.  What distinguishes these things from each other, most fundamentally, is simply their frequency.  And correspondingly their wavelength.  For any electromagnetic wave, and also for acoustic waves for that matter, frequency x wavelength in a particular medium equals propagation velocity in that medium.

Best regards,

Lol Charles, I knew it was Al. And I agree, he's quite an asset to the site.

Good insight klh007.  Funny you mention Mapleshades wire as I had their Double Helix Plus speaker wires at the same time I recieved my GE cables. I really liked the Mapleshades and I hated sending them back but the GE were more to my liking. There's something special about the GE cables that's difficult to describe. They sound "right " to me......the right balance of warmth, detail, dynamics, tone and great imaging. 

Al,
Given the extremely high speed of propagation velocity the delay factor would be as you note insignificant (due to the lengths of audio cable). But no doubt that insulation/dielectrics exert some level of sonic influence.

For example the maker of Ocellia cables is adamant that there are characteristics that favor natural materials (cotton, paper or silk) vs synthetic/plastics in regard to dielectrics. Obviously I’m in no position to affirm or reject this idea other than to say that so many variables affect what we hear. Granted some variables are more recognized and supportable than others. Audio is fascinating, television/visual domain doesn’t seem as mysterious or interesting (or maybe I'm simply bias toward this field).  There’s just something about listening to music and its effect on humans.

The GE speaker cables have made a very nice contribution to my overall sound.  I wanted to get more potent bass, better dynamics and more organic sound of real live instruments and the GEs deliver it.  My VMPS RM40 speakers have never sounded better.  After continually returning to Speltz Anticables following trials with several different cables, I stepped out and tried the MG Audio Planus III copper wires which finally were significantly better sounding than any I'd had before.  I tried some of Philip's Amadi Maddie Signature silver wired cables and they were even better and a whole lot less expensive than the MGs.  They were also easier to use as they were not fragile and didn't pose a tripping hazard.  The GEs were much better in all the areas I listed at the beginning, plus you could hear more sounds that were previously obscured at least partially.  The build quality is outstanding and if someone breaks into my house, I can take those suckers off the binding posts and beat the Ned out of the unsuspecting intruder.  For those that are unfamiliar with Ned being a quantity, you'll need to check this term with my mother-in-law who has told me this several times while playing cards against her.

Al, glad to see you hop on board the photon train. Compare and contrast what I wrote last year on this very subject on this very thread, to whit,

"All electromagnetc waves are comprised of photons. I.e., not only is visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum made of photons, but also X- rays, gamma rays, HF radio waves, SHF radio waves - everything on the electromagnetic spectrum. Including audio signals. They’re all photons."

Is there an echo in here?
