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.

@nano-flo - so right here is where I publicly apologise to you and correct a mistake I have made. Through misunderstanding, I claimed that Krissy had paid you for the original sample products, I have been informed that you have spoken the truth on this particular matter. As I understand it, and correct me if I am wrong, she paid for shipping and chose who the trial participants were?

Tom worked out who you were, and wasn’t given or even suggested by Krissy to contact you. Mr Carbon as you call him, was at least right, that price for that cable was never a good idea, nor the choice of off the shelf cable, but more to the point the price you’re asking. And if you didn’t believe Krissy when she told you that cable and price wasn’t going to go down well, you can digest this thread and the above post. (how much products have you sold with her help, compared to without? that’s entirely rhetorical by the way).

The original price and original straightforward offer for the product is a fair one, I certainly thought so when I paid for it. I have never said it wasn’t what I originally posted about it. Your selective responses are very telling, sadly for the audiophile community the real loss is a great product.

My mistake Krissy sent me the small test kit supplied to her for free by Chris. If she paid the shipping I will pay her for that service. Tom

"but if you would be so kind as to confirm what is being claimed in an email, I have something for you, to make it worth the effort."

Well, now I see you’re also not above bribery.

There you go Tom, if you narc on a private email between you and someone else, you’ll get a prize!

Unfortunately Chris,

whether what is true or not at this point is moot.

You set the tone for this thread with your initial posts. That was a mistake. You’re selective answering of questions and non answers was also a mistake. You charging $1500/$1000 for a $6 power cord and advertising here is just silly.

You were ill prepared to deal with the people on this forum who are light years ahead of you in audio knowledge. You’re only system is in your car??

I could go on, but this now bores me. Thank you for the temporary entertainment.
