Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables

Now, this is not a advertisement, just a posting sharing my experience on some well made great sounding cables at a very reasonable price. Besides, I don't think Cerious Technologies is set up for a big influx of cable orders.

But, if you get the chance to try these cables, please do.

I have been interested in the newer cables coming out that are using Graphene as a conductor. SR cables seemed interesting, but I always hated the way there cables had all those extra wires (with the active shields and such). I then noticed an ad early in I think November or December from Cerious Technologies for Graphene cables. I investigated how the cables were assembled and it seemed like quite a laborious process.

I ordered (with a 30 day money back guarantee) the balanced Graphene interconnects, and boy did they impress me. Such depth, soundstage, realism, frequency smoothness, effortless sound. I was truly impressed!  I now have a complete loom of the Cerious Technologies Graphene cables. That is; interconnects, speaker cables, digital cables and power cords.

I ended up selling all of my other cables and to those of you who have read my postings know that cables have always been my curiosity.

So, as I began this post, let me again iterate, I have no alliance to the company, my posting is for those of you looking for an great alternate high quality Graphene made cable without spending a fortune.

This may be a silly question.  I ended up with a CE power cable in the blue HC version.  I plan to use it on my 2 watt SET amp.  Are there any issues using a high current PC on a small amp like this?

Sorry to be so cryptic. As someone who works so hard to give SOTA performance at a fair price the practice of something like cryogenics being added to the production process is daunting. Being an audiophile myself and servicing audiophiles forever I realize we, as a group, are seemingly never satisfied. If I were to say "Oh yah,,,cryo would make a HUGE difference" then my email would blow up asking when I am coming out with the cryo version and if the GE can be sent in to be updated. Absolutely no insult meant! 
In a direct answer, most metals have a memory and an ideal crystal structure. This structure gets distorted through the extruding of the metal to make the wires and most significantly through the heating of the solder process, which is why I always design to have as few solder joints in the signal path as possible. Running a signal through the wire and joint slowly restores it back to its original structure although slowly. Cryo causes the crystal structure to "relax" and spring back quicker. While I do use metals in the GE, the carbon fiber and Graphene would be unaffected by the cryogenic process - other than to make the Graphene a virtually perfect conductor when frozen. So how many of your wives would put up with you having a tank of liquid Nitrogen in your living room? Yah...Exactly. You though the liquid Nitrogen was cold...

No problem with a Blue HC cord on a 2 watt SET amp. They are very inefficient and the heaters suck serious juice. I ran a high bias Class A SS amp that was only 10 watts and it drew 800 watts from the wall at idle...

Sorry to be a party pooper. Cryo is what we call an irreversible process. Cryo makes the arrangement of the atoms more homogeneous during contraction/expansion phases of the process. The problem for metals that have been bent, rolled, drawn and or hammered is the crystal structure is very distorted.

While I do use metals in the GE, the carbon fiber and Graphene would be unaffected by the cryogenic process - other than to make the Graphene a virtually perfect conductor when frozen.

I wasn’t referring to the graphene or carbon fiber. Although now that I think about it, the performance of plastics and glass and many other non metal materials improves with cryo, so why not graphene and carbon fiber?

Thanks for the comment on the blue power cord with a SET amp.
