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.

The mistake made by some here is to assume that because they disapprove of the personality, marketing methods, testing procedures and previous history of an inventor, then the invention must be invalid and the testimonials must be lies put forward by shills. That's a huge mistake, especially when that assumption is driven forcefully and repeatedly with no evidence and a complete unwillingness to investigate. +1 tommylion.

No, I make the analysis the claims are invalid, because diamond is an insulator, then after I brought this up, the "inventor" tried to claim it was boron doped diamond which is a semiconductor which would still in a contact location be an insulator, and after that was raised, he tried to say the diamond balls were covered with gold .... it was quite obviously he was making it up as he went along. Then big claims about physical properties that a high school student could measure but which he had not. The previous history of the inventor was one of lying. That is a big red flag for me. It should be for anyone. |

Early in this thread (or earlier) I gave some of my background which is solid state physics current working on materials science for batteries and previously semiconductors. I won’t bore you with my degrees. This is the problem when charlatans and good intentioned reference things they lack the background to understand. Diamond is an insulator. Detonantion diamonds even with a carbon layer, or gold surface treatment (they are working on that to improve lateral flow tests -- think Covid rapid tests), are still poor conductors. The conductive layer is thin compared to the bulk. Most of the conductivity comes from surface area, though in plastics you have different mechanisms. A more appropriate article to reference is this one: Conductivity of detonation microdiamond under pressure
Note that higher value is from absorbing water (hard to do in oil). Other studies showed even larger variation
Since you are educating me on nanodiamonds and conductivity, perhaps you could relate these numbers to how they compare to copper? Does it occur to people that there are people who understand these things in detail, certainly far better than some internet charlatan?
