Mitigating the Bubble

With someone claiming, without hesitation, that a contact enhancer increased their audible volume or dynamic range is it any surprise these charlatans exist?

Back to the main subject of this thread, Nanoflo.

I received mine a few days ago but it was only yesterday I was able to work on applying it. I first cleaned the contacts of my mains plugs, iec's etc with iso prophyll alcohol. I was surprized how much dirt came off onto the cotton buds.

I applied Nanoflo to the one fuse that powered my audio sockets, a 30 amp fuse, in my main control panel (again after cleaning it). After nanoflo completion I tried a TV in an adjacent room that runs off the mains fuse and the picture was sharper and brighter than before, had to tone sharpness and colour down a bit.

Back to the audio side. I applied Nanoflo to my PS Audio regenerator internal fuse and it's mains plug, plus all the mains plugs running off the regenerator. I also did the mains prongs in the receiving equipment, cd transport, dac, pre-amp, power amps etc and the music XLR interconnects. Lastly I did my speakers and a pair of Tannoy supertweeters that sit on top of them. There's also a pair of SR XOT crossovers hanging off the speakers, also done, of course. Speakers connections going into the power amps were also done.

Listening, powered it all up and starting listening, I knew something was wrong as sound was quite spacey and out of phase but I let it run for an hour. Turned out I'd wired one of the speaker connections going into the amp the wrong way round. Sound now was what I expected.  I turned it off at that point.

Max Townsend of Townsend Audio, (passed away recently), says that if you've moved your power cords or interconnect cables it takes at least a day for your system to come back to normal.

My system also doubles as my home cinema setup, with the pre-amp having an av bypass that allows my mains speakers to be my front left and right speakers for movie watching. I subsequently watched the new Spiderman movie later and finishing that I played a couple of CD's, 50th anniversary Sgt Peppers and Rolling Stones, 40 licks, disc one. I know these two discs extremely well and they sounded like I know them, except different. Volume level was the same but I was hearing more detail. The backing vocals in Sgt Pepper came through much clearer. I just had a feeling of being closer to the music. On the Stones discs I play 4 or 5 favourites, Street Fighting Man, Gimme Shelter, Paint it Black, Honky Tonk Women and It's All Over Now. Again, these came through clearer than I've ever heard before. At this point the music was so razor sharp, not in a bad way, that the speakers were disappearing and everything was in the room. The sound stays the same as you know, just more detail coming through

I think Tom mentioned earlier in the thread that the sound continues to improve for about 6 -7 days. I'm looking forward to hearing how mine progresses but even now I'm very happy with what Nanoflo does to my system and that was around 12 hours after application of Nanoflo.

Chris in onto a winner here.

Actually, it was the cleaning of the contacts that made the difference, not the no-name goop that you applied to them afterwards.

BTW, if you play CDs, try polishing them with ArmorAll.  It transforms them.  Really.

I would like to assume you are kidding.

After nanoflo completion I tried a TV in an adjacent room that runs off the mains fuse and the picture was sharper and brighter than before, had to tone sharpness and colour down a bit.

I saw a video improvement after an application of nps 1260 so the Sheridd2 experience is of no suprise.. I will remove 1260 and replace with Nanoflo when more is available for sale. Tom
