Mad Scientist Graphene Contact Enhancer

It’s going to take me a few days to get a handle on it. I had new flooring installed and had to shut the entire system down for a couple days. My first impression yesterday came from listening to George Michael’s FAITH, which is a disc I almost gave away a while back, but decided to keep as one of my ‘torture’ discs= sounds crappy in my system.
 
A couple weeks ago I upgraded my coax cable and one power cord, both of which I placed on my Audiolab CDT6000 (but did not play Faith). I treated the coax and the XLRs from my Voyager to the Audio Alchemy DDP-1 preamp with the Hi Fidelity graphene sample. After a week or so I decided to move the now broken in PC to my Voyager, which sounds better and better with each upgrade/tweak, including moving the new PC to the Voyager.
 
So, before turning the system back on yesterday, I prepared to apply the Mad Scientist graphene, while reading the accompanying paperwork, it sounds like the exact same thing as the sample I got from Hi Fidelity, but at < 1/3 the price!
 
The Mad Scientist Contact Enhancer was applied to the speaker cables and all the associated wiring to my Open Baffle Emerald Physics 3.4 speakers (outboard XOs) and binding posts at the the base of the speakers and also to where the jumpers between those binding posts and the connections to coax drivers mid and tweeters= 7 sets per side... RPA!

So what abut strategic placement of a graphene material such as this?

Just wait until you open all your components and speakers and apply it to everything in there.

 

Then, just when you think you've reached audiophool audiophile nirvana, you can do every wire in your house and have the blackest blacks ever blacked. Don't get me started on speaking to your local power company about treating the wires that run from wherever it is that power is generated to your house.

Snake oil, I really don't get how bored with life you have to be to find entertainment in spending money on magic pixie dust products like this, I guess even placebo can be highly addictive to some people.

Very good point about not worrying about the last 6 feet of passive power cord when the juice has already come through your house system, the house fuse, the supply line from the 8kv (in UK) substation, and the long lines from the power generation station that may be 50 miles long or more.

I have been making this point for years, but the guys still imagine they're hearing differences by changing the last 6 feet of passive power line.

As for 'contact enhancer', if you feel this way just hard-wire everything.  A FAR better contact.
