    Default Graphene Coating for the DIY'er

    I have been interested in Graphene for some time, definitely since I learnt of it as a material that could enhance Audio.
    The knowledge of its use in cables production was only recently made known to me, which triggered my curiosity.
    I have done a little Google aided research, to gather how it was being utilised, and if it was improving conductivity in metals, as I have always held onto the knowledge it is a very good conductor.

    As a result, I have found 'White Papers' explaining the outcomes of experiments that confirm it is a substance that improves conductivity, it would appear only slightly, but as a Global usage, these improvements are substantial. The word 'Slightly' is my very layman term as a interpretation of the conclusion within the White Paper.
    The White Papers are supported by equations that I dare not pretend to understand.

    With me being the 'eternal optimist' two thoughts evolved,
    Thought One, , maybe that report of this 'slight improvement' could mean exactly that when put into a Audio Context,
    maybe it allows for a change in a presentation, that is perceived as improvement in the SQ.

    Thought Two, , is it possible to produce a,
    'DIY Copper - Graphene Coated Cable, well the answer at present, but not fully understood,
    seems to be 'YES'.
    Disclaimer !!, I am viewing Google supplied information, and how accurate it is, will need to be confirmed.
    What I have seen so far is a operation that is quite appealing, this is where a Sheathed Cable has had a retro applied nano coating of Graphene.

    On deconstruction of the cable, when the wire is observed removed from the sheathing it is evident that the nano coating has migrated onto the whole of the wire surface.
    Another additional benefit witnessed, is that the nano coating of approximately,
    a 2 nm thickness, is also a fully functioning insulator, removing the need for a sheathing.
    In the same footage the Graphene nano coating was also shown applied to a variety of metals in wire form.

    I would like to think that this is a DIY pursuit worth pursuing to prove the feasibility of the processes required.

    I am now 'off on one' working out how to Graphene nano coat, RCA Connectors, Valve Pins and Bases, IC Pins and Sockets.
