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.

@genjamon sounds like fun, you lucky guy!
I'm betting that the Matrix gear out of the box is going to be an improvement. Please be sure to share your thoughts with us here.

@genjamon I only did the upgrade with the speaker cables since I feel they offer the best bang for the buck.  You are in for a treat however, as I'm sure you've already read here.  The Matrix SCs do sound better right out of the box.  With time, they amaze.  Please report back your impressions.

Tuffy72561, 

Yes I have been able to now use the CM on m y mono blocks and complete the entire loom. Excellent sound, very happy. The GE's are still very good, actually better than most other cables.

genjamin,

Congrats, You should be impressed, I know I was.

jsm71,

Yes, I agree the speaker cables are awesome.

And don’t forget the interconnects. The Matrix is a huge step up. Much better than the Teo I had.

@lancelock  How would you describe the differences between the Teo and the Matrix IC's?  I have Teo GC interconnects currently, and have been considering stepping to the new Teo GC II's, or possibly Teo Ultra's.  But the Ultra's are in the same ballpark price as the Cerious Matrix.  Hard for me to justify jumping into that price league, so I might have to settle with the GC II upgrade path, but any of your thoughts might help.
