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.

@jetter I know right? Maybe nano-flo should consider including in the claims that it also prevents the next pandemic, whatever it may be.

I hate starting a thread here. I know watt I hear based on some components being in my system for over 10 years except for my audio racks which have been in use for over 15 years. Sistrum racks and platforms mechanical grounding knot isolation which can only exist in the absence of matter. 

So my main components are relatively stasis. I change 1 thing at a time. I evaluate by myself and with 2 friends. They both used TC and nps 1260 and this product is way beyond those two.  I use geometric shapes on ceilings and walls I have added laminar flow devices to augment audible images. I have built a active air control that further enhances details high and low and removes to a great degree boundaries such as walls and furniture..I have mixed my own coatings to use on my in room breaker box which is attached directly to the outside meter box and shielded metal feed underground to the ground mounted transformer 35 feet from my house. I know watt I hear. So, yea I am glad I bought Nano Flo and it works to a high level for me. I bought more which is the way. Tom

So you are saying that the nano flo application has improved after 4 days? Interesting.

I just applied a thin layer from my sample to the ends of a new power cable.
