Graphene Contact Enhancer

Obviously not really a new topic but a review framed as an apology. A long time ago I tried this contact enhancer black goop but never gave it a fair shot. My excuse is that putting this unwieldy sticky stuff on every contact is a lot of bother. The first time I tried it I didn't put it on every contact point. Recently I was bored I guess and wanted to upgrade my system without spending the big bucks. So, I finally took the time to apply this stuff to about 85% of my contacts. I can honestly report there was a clear improvement. There was a bass detail upgrade. However it was the vocals that especially grabbed my attention. More present, complete, and clearer. I then acquired the energy to do the inside of my power cords. The blades on the inside. This morning the difference is fantastic. TIP: After applying, wipe off excess with a clean q-tip because apparently a little goes a long way. I apologize for originally offering an unfair review. This "magic" goop works wonders to clean up the fidelity of my system. Highly recommended. Mad Scientist Graphene Contact Enhancer.

So here's my theory....When we connect metal to metal as in RCAs or banana plugs the metal doesn't make perfect contact everywhere along the pressure points. This contact enhancer through nano graphene fills in the weak points and causes the entire surface to be conductive. I've been listening all day off and on and the details are more natural with vocals (especially lower male vocals) standing out in clarity. Revisiting some of my complex CD's and discovering very pleasant improvements. Cheap and very noticeable upgrade.

I used to buy into all the new tweaks but it never made my systems sound better, just different.  I do not use any tweaks or magic fairy dust any longer.  I See tweaks as for audiophiles whose system is finished but still get a thrill when they spend unnecessary money talking themselves into it.  I’m not talking about the cheaper tweaks, but things like a $1500 record stabilizer by Shun Mook made from Mapingo wood that sat in a bog for 50,000 years, or things you hang in your room to make things sound better, fuses that cost $200-300+ each, magic feet that cost more than a decent preamp, that kind of stuff.

Is the graphene in this application really a conductor? I've read that graphene can be either a semi-conductor or a semi-metal depending on processing. So which is this graphene substance? And how is its benefit measured?
