they use woven carbon fiber cloth, a different animal

the purpose of the carbon fiber is that it makes stiff composites when embedded in a plastic matrix. Pure graphite has a distinctly different behavior as the graphite acts as an amorphous solid. Black Diamond is a dead sounding product. Some have complained that it is so good at vibration damping that it can take the life out of sound. I have also used cryo treated maple that is lively. When I put it between the Black Diamond and the electronics, the sound takes on a higher presence. Sometimes too much presence in a narrow bandwidth. Graphite sounds like it has an ring tone, although this is GM10 graphite (after double checking , an 8% void, not 4% as I had thought) but it has also been described as vivid, juicy, dynamic, etc.... almost the opposite of the Black Diamond... we'll see,,,
