Lon, For what it is worth I swapped out my Super Sluggo for a Graphene Sluggo in my DGR Jr. and had a good listen with my Taboo.  To my surprise the Super Sluggo sounded a bit better.  It was more dynamic, more background detail and more holographic to my ear.  The Graphene sounded softer with that warmer smoothness.  Not a outcome I expected.  Just me, my ears on my system.  It will be interesting what your comparison yields.

Today I received a Super Sluggo that Tony has leant to me (and tomorrow should see the arrival of one that I bought from Art). I popped it in and I think I had the right direction chosen and am very pleased listening.

I am hearing something similar to Hearafter, what I am most surprised by is that the soundstage seems to be a bit further back behind the speakers--a situation I always enjoy, that I prefer to a more forward presentation. The treble seems a bit smoother and the mid bass a bit fuller. These are all positive changes I welcome.

I'll continue to let this configuration get some time and play and then will try to extract from my downstairs system the Graphene Sluggo (replacing it with the Super Sluggo I purchased) and see what that brings. . . .

The Super Sluggo has settled in and is quite impressive. I do hear the "silent background," there is a bit more quiet with it than with the Audio Magic fuse. The music moved forward a little but there is a hint of more inner detail that shows up in the resonance of an instrument and its little pocket of sound. Nice!

Wondering how the Graphene will sound in comparison. Perhaps next week I will get to that listening session. . . .
