Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene

It’s obviously much more difficult to produce and apply “real” two dimensional graphene. But what’s not clear is that there are also apparently advantages to 2, 3, 4, 5 layer Graphene, which is apparently easier to mass produce, at least I suspect it is, but multi layer Graphene is not quite the super material as “real” Graphene. But it might work very well and be less hassle.

So, one should probably not be quite so suspicious, that’s all I’m saying. Obviously Graphene as applied to Tennis racquets, bike frames, bicycle tires, and Graphene cables the Graphene in question is not two dimensional Graphene but something else. Ditto for the new Graphene speaker diaphrams from Canada. They are Graphene composites, not real Graphene. Graphene is the new carbon fiber, that’s all.

I think I'll save my $$$ and stick with copper or silver and a good tight connection and pass on all the Graphene hype. As far as Graphene infused speaker diaphrams, well, I won't go there...Jim

Thanks for not going there. Much appreciated. 🤫

@geofkait....You’re welcome!........ :-)

Several comments on Graphene. 

Total Contact uses graphene; however, it has a proprietary other product in it that allows it to be a super conductor per the manufacturer as well as a process which melds the two to work concurrently.

In the SR Fuses, my amps have the 8 amp Blue SR fuses where the amps are rated for 5 amp fuses.  The manufacturer installed 5 amp breakers in place of his fuses.  The result is indistinguishable sonic differences.  Apparently, there is great validity in the fact the larger contact area of the fuse has a positive effect on the sound through transmission of more signal.  So, while the Blue SR fuse sounds great, so does a cheap metal breaker in its place.
