Graphene for audio

A few weeks ago I did an interesting experiment.
I bought a pack of 5pcs of 8"x8" Conductive Graphene Sheets, and I place them above my integrated amp, above my speakers, above my DAC, above my PC and above my power distributor.
I left the Graphene Sheets for over a week, and I was listening to music every day.
I definitely heard something changed over time, but in the end, I’ve got a powerful sound in mid and low frequency, with a significant reduction in the high frequency.
Once I started removing the Graphene Sheets, I immediately noticed that my setup will "breathed" again.
I’m comfortable to say that Graphene "alone" sounds dark and does not improve clarity.

Wrapping aluminum foil around the last few inches of your AC cords and connectors does the opposite....makes things forward and harsh.

aluminum foil?
It's a graphene foil.
I have tried to do that experiment wrap the sheet around power cords but I absolutely didn't like it what I heard in terms of sound improvement.

gill_92, what are you trying to do? Just messing around? You say it's a foil. One of the qualities of graphene is how thin it is, right. So is the foil sprayed with graphene?

Graphene capacitors? Graphene is 100 times as strong a steel. 
Graphene, coal, and diamonds are all carbon base.

I wonder why it changes the sound over time? It's non-ferrous (not magnetic) right?

I also wonder what it would sound like in a cable build? LOL Have to hunt some up..

Interesting...

One takeaway is that the Graphene DID make a difference, though for the worse. It flies in the face of those who call it voodoo. Another thought, I wonder what might happen if you had left it there longer?
