Graphite for shelves, loudspeaker cases?


Hi
I own Tuneblocks feet made of Graphite for vibration control. Due to the layered structure, graphite seems well suited for vibration control. 
Now, I wonder why there are not more examples of this material be used in cases, replacing metal, for example.
Or, to build loudspeakers. 
Or, as shelves.
Is it not effective?
Too expensive?
Messy to work with?
My suspicion: it would be an excellent material but everybody wants to avoid the hassle working with it.

Well first off its not so much that its so great a material for vibration control as the combination of being affordable, easily machined, cosmetically attractive, and reasonably good vibration control. All that however is overshadowed by how hard it is to stabilize the surface so its not rubbing off making a royal mess of everything and wearing down to nothing in the process.

If it seems excellent that's mostly because DJ died and so nobody makes BDR any more. Find some used, learn the true meaning of excellent vibration control.
