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.

I have nothing to do with Chris or his product Nanoflo.

I was sent Nano flo to try by Krissy the lady not Chris the man.

Krissy trusts my ears and values my input and she is no longer connected to this product. I started this thread and 1 previous that was deleted prior to this one. I support this product only and not anything else connected to either Chris or his cables. As far as the joke comment goes ..there are many jokesters on this forum. Those who won’t read all the comments. Those who make harassing and disparaging comments about products they have never tried nor ever will. I catch backwash from people here about my comments of products I use or have created. No fuses just magnets no isolation just direct mechanical coupling ( Isolation can only exist in the absence of matter). Laminar flow devices augmented by my acoustic fan design..No joke here. I try not to be trapped or constrained by conventional textbooks or thoughts.

I have designed products that you can see and read about on my site only

I am associated with Sound Stage Audio .com makers of Audiopoints and Sistrum Platforms and The Energy Room. A room that is truly direct coupled to Earth as nothing can be truly isolated. Tom

I still have about a 1/2 bottle of the NPS 1260 product. I have been really impressed with it. My whole system has been treated with it.

A while ago Krissy did send me a sample of the new product "nanoflo" that has been discussed on this thread. I have not used it yet, I am waiting on a new power cord to try it on. BTW, Not the one mentioned in this thread.

I am wonderin’ if this new "nanoflo" product can be applied on top of the NPS 1260? I hate to remove that stuff.

Also, what happened with Krissy with the nanoflo?

This has been a very strange roll out of a new product.

@ozzy  - After Krissy paid for samples of Nano-flo and had friends try it on their systems for free (at her expense), she was promptly removed from any sales position, after the cost doubled, so that the middle-man wasn't in the "business model" anymore. It's the use and shaft style business model that has become kind of common.

I am sorry you weren't aware of the new in house built nano-flo power cable, which has been reduced to $1000.00 from $1500.00 by Mr Nano-flo Chris. You could have purchased four at this price compared to your Dragon (incidentally, how long have you been chasing this one? Ha).

audiotweak,

So in your opinion the nanoflow is better than the NPS-1260? But the NPS-1260 needs to be removed? I wonder what the 2 products would do together?

rixthetrick,

Krissy has always been kind to me, that’s too bad.
