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.

artemus_5 I left the Graphene sheets a month on top of my components, but the sound became too dark.
It was very evident in every piece of music that I listened to with knowledge.
The same story above my speakers.
Fortunately, I managed to sell them all, so now the chapter is closed.
For those who asked me what I wanted to achieve, nothing, in particular, was simple curiosity, totally failed.

Since Graphene is defined as being only one molecule thick, i.e., two dimensional, and is invisible, it’s obvious by inspection 👀 the “Graphene sheet” is not really Graphene. Who knows what it is? 😳 Graphene gets a bad rap. It’s being produced by the ton all over the world but nobody knows quite what to do with it.

Pardon my ignorance, what is an 8"x8" Conductive Graphene Sheet? Last I checked, humanity hadn’t figured out an economical way to make large graphene sheets. I always assumed the graphene products on the market to be gimmicks: not true graphene (I.e. one continuous, single-atom-thick layer of carbon that is technically one molecule). Has that changed?
