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.

On audiogon for 20 years

enough positive feedback to make one drunk and no negative feedback

 

I bought 3 AC cables but you told me there was a glitch in the system and was charged for 5. You shipped 3 out to me and told me you would hold 2 at the discount price if I wanted to get the other two and if I didn’t want them after I got them I could return them.

Here is my positive review of your goop.I want you to be successful in your product and selling to us Philes. Your goop is the greatest breakthrough in audio. Nothing comes close to what it does when installed into one’s system. No words to describe what one hears when using with just AC cables.

 

I told you I needed to sell my Hemingway cables to finance the other two cables, and that I couldn’t do so I returned them. Did what you told me to go through eBay sent them back, and I patiently waited for the refund.

 

I asked you not to make this a mess and to pursue in a peaceful way, the transaction, and that I would give you a positive review on Audiogon.

 

 

 

I have here given you a negative feedback, but send my refund today and I will contact the monitors of audiogon and ask them to remove all my writings on this thread. You deserve better. Your product is out of this world. I just hope that your character and your integrity matches the awesomeness of your goop.

What is happening? This is so sad. Unfortunate too. One perfect example why many things in audio get such a bad reputation, and the “snake oil” moniker. Very sad.

 

Nano Flo dude: please give the guy the money back. He already returned your stuff. You have them. Not only the fair thing to do, but also the legal thing to do

Apparently his goop does nothing to increase integrity.

magic sauce.

snake oil

try reds cure all lineament, just 2 sips a day, you will be vigil, and feel better than you ever  have.

some of this stuff is plain silly, and the people who open their wallets for thousands for vaseline mixed w a little food coloring applied to a wall plug.

same as the 500 dollar power cord, its called hype truth, you imagine the 500 bills you dropped on a power cord will actually make trumpets circle your ears with magical ability to render you motionless, and add 2 more inches to mr. happy.

 

from your  (80% homes) breaker box, you have 12ga wiring throughout your home, thousands of feet running upstairs, down, all over, yet a 10awg cord will suddenly transform your shotty house wiring into a magic conduit from which unicorns shoot rainbow chocolate kaka rings through your body, giving you such elation that you spent 5oo$ on a power cord, which oddly enough might give you rapture of the eardrums and make mr chub come out to play.

@mikeg

@theaudiotweak 

I brought up in the now deleted thread that about the magical power cable review that Chris/nano-flo had no track record in hifi, had questionable dealings with others and that extreme caution should be taken. @glory if you ever get your money back you will be lucky. 

 

I said it then and I’ll say it now…you guys should be ashamed. @mikeg your Stereo Times review and Most Wanted Product rating now acts as a defacto endorsement of a potentially unethical enterprise. While Im sur that isnt your intent, leaving that review up erodes your credibility. How unfortunate.
