Thanks Rich, I was literally wondering how to get the lead out of my pencil. Don't need much so i was just going to pick at it. I am not using it for any resistor value so it can break too. If it was summer i would burn it off. I also didn't realize graphite can be fashioned into a resistor. Which means i can fill all the pins with graphite.
I am thinking there still will not be enough graphite for any meaning full noise supression but maybe resonance like Rollo mentioned.
You never know until you try.
richidoo:
So you will just stuff the hollows of the XLR pins with graphite, but not actually run a signal through a graphite resistor?
Some pencil leads are glued into the wood pencil, so it might not come out easy. A real wood pencil would probably be easier to open than one of those bendy fake wood pencils.
What about using pure graphite?

BobM:
I was reading somewhere (recently) of someone buying quartz based reptile gravel. He filled his external crossover boxes with them, accomplishing 2 things:
- resonance control (because this was fine gravel)
- RFI supression (because it was quartz)
No, it's not lead, but perhaps you should try filling your plug ends with this and see what happens.
richidoo:
Shek's new ceramic fuses that he likes are filled with quartz sand, to prevent molten fuse element from flying if the fuse explodes. But it might also affect the sound quality.
Acoustic Revive makes a power strip that is filled with crushed tourmaline, it's supposedly very effective at reducing noise. Tourmaline is magical stuff. I carry a piece in my pocket when I need extra energy.

Using that graphite powder scares the shit out of me. I would almost certsinly create a path that could blow shit up... :lol:
I am only looking at filling the pins with solid graphite. I will have a good evaluation this weekend done. My reference will be this Shatki stone ( which i think is mostly graphite) ?
