@littlecx,
I also recently acquired some Oyaide Tunami Terzo V2, their latest copper techniques and they are a very good sounding interconnect; transparent, precise placement within the sound-stage, tight bass with excellent imaging and PRAT.

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.

No experience yet on the Matrix but the Oyaide Tunami Terzo V2 is a very good sounding cable and will embarrass cables upward of $1.5K+ and we are talking about $200 cables bought directly from an authorized distributor in Japan. I discovered the beauty of Oyaide SSC 102 about 2 months ago after hearing many rave about their Black Mamba V2 PC and it is fantastic; replaced my full loom of Nanotec # 308 and 1 CTE Red with these and couldn’t be happier. This DIY PC can be made for $130 total with Parts Connexion Rhodium AC Plug Set. It’s the latest copper techniques that’s driving the performance of this cable, hence the name SSC which is pure copper with a conductivity of 102. This is an Outstanding product and yields a greater performance ratio than replacing a fuse and of course it is all system dependent. Wig :) |
@t_ramey Here are a few links for BM V2 DIY: https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/chuya-online/item/92481/ Rhodium AC Set: http://www.partsconnexion.com/product33233.html BM V2 Professionally built: https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/chuya-online/item/92479/ I used Paypal for checkout and you will receive a second e-mail within 24 hrs. with your total order amount including shipping; the link will be embedded in the e-mail to pay using paypal. This cable has a drain wire and should only be connected at AC plug with the ground. Wig |
Preassembled PC can be bought here but look around this site to see if the Tunami V2 is available as well since I never considered that one because I wanted neutrality over a slightly warm PC. I believe 1.8M is all that's available for preassembled PC but you can build one yourself and save a little money. My cables arrived within 7-10 days.

tuffy72561, I have not personally compared the two but a friend said the BM V2 was more transparent but you really can't go wrong with either at this price point. The Hallmark of these cables are refinement and precision, everything is laid out much better with sharper images and super black backgrounds; music just start and stops so much faster, not to mention that the soundstage is wider and deeper.

Guys, Received my Tunami V2 last night and also completed the build and it has very similar attributes as the BM V2, very open and organic sounding with more low end impact and a slightly warmer midrange yet without sacrificing detail. Have it burning-in on the cooker now and believe it's going to be a special cable as well... Good to hear the BM V2 is working out in your systems. Wig |
