The potential improvements never end. Thank you again for pushing the sonic envelope.
As a note, on the production version of the Ground Breaker, I use Stabilant 22 on the H,N,G lead ends inside the wall plug connector, inside the Deltron barrel connector (for the ground loop umbilical), and on the Deltron bananas themselves that are inserted into the barrel connectors.
Where did you apply the MSA Graphene on your Ground Breaker?
May I presume you applied the MSA onto the outer barrel of the RCA's? You could also apply it onto the contact area of the binding posts, where the end cap screws down onto the post.

Hi, Alan...
I started off taking apart the DIY Power Cord and used MSA Graphene on all the connections H-N-G)....Then the Power Supply very carefully on about 1/8" into the female IEC connector and at the opposite end only lightly on the outside of the chassis connector and making sure to keep it away from the center Female portion of the connector...
On the back of the Cable Cooker I did all the male connectors...
Also on RCA connectors I only applied to the male connector Hot...
Only about 1/8" on the center prong...And nothing on the Hot Female Chassis connector... Only lightly apply to the outer Ground of the Female connector...During production assembly, you may want to try it on a few of the internal Push=On connectors (the Push-Ons near the Off/On Switch)... That may be a real challenge...

Actually, treating the white 6-pin board mount connector would be easy. Simply remove (by gently rocking back and forth) the red wire connector....that exposes the 6 pins on the white board connector. Reinstall the red wire connector and you're done.
Please clarify....when you say RCA connectors, are you speaking of the connectors on the cables you conditioned? The RCA's on the Cooker are all female chassis mounts, and the only male connector is the output XLR and the pair of BNC's.
Sorry... I was thinking of my RCA DIY Cable Cooker Adapters I made...
One more question, RW....how did you apply the MSA Graphene? Does the sample kit come with a tiny brush?
Sorry, I missed your post...
It does come with a very nice brush...
I found the disposable Lip Wands work better for me... I can apply it more evenly and do a series of projects quicker when I load up the Lip Wand with Graphene...
When I finish a project I put the Graphene Lip Wand in a Zip Lock Bag where it stays fresh and ready for the next project...
I've ordered a whole bunch of various types of brushes and applictors and will use the one(s) that are best. Maybe include a few types with each bottle as they are pretty cheap. But those foam (?) ones look good.
The description calls them "Flocked sponge head with plastic handle"...They are very tough and almost hard and even when I used a Needle Nose Pliers on them, I could not get to the inner layer...
The flocking does not shed or fall off...
So they are not a soft foam but they soak up and hold Graphene very well... :)
