Mitigating the Bubble

Today after many years of trials and tribulations I have mitigated a sonic aberration a horizontal phase anomaly in my center stage.  While the center image was always stable and outlined it seemed narrow and bubble like and I would need to shift my body angle to really lock in the image. This was obvious on many CDs and LPs .

I have many man made fixes that helped the situation but never a total cure. Some of these are now permanent fixtures on the ceiling in 2 different locations. I made my own acoustic panels filled with long hair sheep's wool and 3 Argent Room Lenses.  I have laminar flow lenses that focus and stabilize the image across the front stage. I have built and treated an acoustic fan that overcomes the  boundaries with in my room by reducing interference. I have loaded my speaker cabinets 3 times with new drivers and now an outboard crossover. This was after my Essence 30s speakers and my Dunlavy SC4s.  ..All my components are hard mounted and direct coupled to the floor...on rock solid racks and speaker stands, custom mono bloc amps each on their own stand. All of these devices and angles and positions made the image wider and more focused but I still had that little  bubble and shift before me. Always less annoying with each new device and tweak.

So, your probably saying to yourself hurry up and get to the end. The end finally arrived today after having applied a contact enhancer 7 days ago to just 6 RCA ends out of many connections in my system.  Today with a friend who has been here a hundred times sitting in the Chair playing the same music as usual he said there was a wider sweet spot. I despise that term but he said it and not me.What we both heard was a super stable center image that was a few feet wide and not just one. The bubble was gone. The head in the vise was gone.  Off came the straight jacket and helmet. What I have now in this space intime is a glorious fully extended soundstage with all the meat on the bones and the features of talking heads on a real live performance stage. 

I have probably used eight different contact enhancers over five decades but this one blows my mind. This product  Nano Flo is the ultimate in transparency.

@deludedaudiophile "How easy do you think people are to bamboozle here“

is almost correct, however The New Kid on the Block (me) never said anything like that. but I will not say which Audiogon member did say it. This person also said other things about specific members, that people just shouldn’t say about their customers..

To those interested in audio enhancements like @whostolethebatmobile if you start out with detonation nanodiamond you’ll soon discover its a great insulator. Now when you ask the Japanese supplier about Type 2B (IIB) availability they will most likely ask you were they can get some. I don’t sell mine anymore, so... Another slice of the formula is nanogold, and the only thing close costs $80,000 per gram, I wish you good luck from there. Sure you can get what’s advertised as pure nanogold for as low as $360 per gram, but its not really nano when you go through the specs, and you should also run it under SEM for sizing. I hope that clarifies everything and remember, you can just buy NanoFlo contact enhancer, soon as I re-introduce it plus get an AUDIOGON discount if you are in good standing with NanoFlo.

I’m looking forward to my meeting with Josh to begin advertising here.

I don't want you to leave, and if you go to the contact form on webpage or message your address privately I will send you the only .1ml  sample I'm that I'm prepared give out, once the batch finishes blending sometime next week. I promise, it will be up to you to tell anyone if or what happens without me pissing about your answer. If you are as unimpressed as everyone that didn't try it yet, I hope you shout it out for everyone on AUDIOGON, and I'll even pay the shipping.

Who am I? It is really unimportant, I am just a rather intelligent guy with a materials science background who can tell you are making it up as you go.

I can also tell when someone is bamboozling, like where you say, "Some people claim it is like a room temperature superconductor", and claim there could be validity to that (there isn't), but then you put out something like this which clearly you don't understand and is contradictory,

If anyone is interested in putting this curious attack to an end - look up Type II-B diamond and now you have a slice of my secret,

Type II-B occurs naturally, but that is rather meaningless as we grow II-B all the time as diffusing boron in diamond, just like some other materials, turns it into a semiconductor.  However, semiconductors are very poor conductors unless they have an appropriate fields, and then there is the issue of the band-gap. The band gap for II-B boron infused diamond if 5.5ev, which is very high. That means virtually no semiconductor action, hence no conductivity at a metal-metal I/F of connectors where the voltage differential is in the millivolts.  You have obviously picked up some stuff along the way like all good "promoters" but you are lacking the underlying knowledge that goes with the words and terms you are using.

However, this is all quite meaningless babble. If it increases conductivity, it can be proven in about 15 seconds with a simple test.So where is the test and please no excuses. There are no trade secrets revealed from test results.

Oh, if I want II-B boron diffused diamond, I could make my own, I have access to CVD equipment. Nano particle gold, also dead simple to access and I even have contacts who have a patent on a process that does not use certain nasty chemicals. Nano particle gold underpins a very high volume very important medical device ...

It clarifies that you are making it up as you go, that's okay, I have been working on my side a long time and have seen many a claim come and go, most from actual material scientists. I am looking forward to your entertaining us with what your cable does "better".

Unfortunately, we have only ourselves to blame for stuff like this. As a community, we have allowed hucksters to claim whatever they want, with 0 proof, while spouting our dogmatic "trust our ears". We deserve what we get:

 

Note: he even ripped off the term "Perfect Path"
