Good Morning

My own experience with Graphene is this - 40 hours gets you 75% of the way home - 150 hours and you reach 90 percent - 300 hours you get the full deal

WHY

This is the ONLY Sluggo that using a Vacuum Depositing methodology to produce the end result. There is an actual CURING PROCESS involved here.

Graphene may not be for everyone - I get that...

I like the net results with Graphene (for my system)...

I am in contact with several of you re Graphene and I am enjoying the back and forth. I will hafve less time aftert today for about a week as wer prepare to ship Mainstream and SnubWay back orders. As new(er) products emerge there is always an information need

ENJOY ALL

Happy 4th

Best wishes

Mark

Hey Will, you’re right—the amp’s fuse holder is certainly more accessible compared to the source gear.  Since I hold your and Lon’s ear in the absolute highest regard, I will certainly end up playing around with it in the near future.  

In the meantime, some other tweaks and changes are taking up my time and attention.

And I am also planning on getting my 4th SDFB  ;D

LOL Lon!

Thank God I had already downed my sip of soda before I saw your post, otherwise, I’d have spit it out!

Yes, I’ve meaning to add it to my Phoenix Net for quite some time, and have been biding my time. I also wanted to try out Mark’s super piggy as well, which I plan to get with this order.

I should add that whatever misgivings I initially had about the Graphene Sluggos are now completely dispelled. I just realized a moment ago that I haven't thought about the change in Sluggos in days. Everything sounds great now!

My take: when fully seasoned the Graphene is set apart by "resolution" I suppose is the best way to describe it. I hear just a bit more of the piano soundboard in solo piano recordings, a bit more of the cymbal resonance in well-recorded drum solos, a bit more room presence. It's easy to get used to and noticed when absent with other Sluggos.

I'd say that the Graphene is not at all warm. Accurate, not bright or etched.

Not wishing to offend - but this was a fine read today

Thanks

Mark

@bloodlemons

Current SDFB can only service up to 12 amps

MAX can do 32 amps. Chassis about 50% bigger with all major parts (MicroP, Hall Effect Sensor and Relay) up to the task

I will post some pictures soon

Thanks - Mark

@Kamran

I can share with you that @gladmo is one of the m ost astute listeners I have EVER known - this goes back to my Infinity Days, Genesis, Alchemy etc etc.

He's also a very nice fellow

I hope he is invited to join

Thanks

Mark

Good Morning...

@bloodlemons - many thanks. Always enjoy our spirited conversations.

@GroovySauce

Yes indeed - after the feedback you and others shared... I did complain and changed two parameters dealing with the Graphene Sluggo

Coatintg Thickness and Vacuum Deposting mentodology (time and more)

Many thanks as always

Mark

Oh, absolutely. Also, my room is untreated. I have a pretty busy decorating style, so there aren’t really a lot of reflective surfaces to worry about, But I have been putting off, trying out some first reflection panels for quite a while.

@Hereafter

While many people advocate using Sluggos in "other areas" we ONLY advocate using SDFB and Sluggo on the Mains

Our instruction state this as well...

Many thanks

Mark

Thanks Mark. For those who have any interest in offerings and updates on Vera-Fi products, I suggest following Mark Shifter on Facebook. All the latest news on products, etc.
