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 don’t have a horse in this race nor does @jerryg123 but the smugness on display by @nano-flo and his ethical challenges merits outrage from the Audiogon community. His handlers deserve some ire as well although they are quietly in the background. Chris hasn’t built one single cable, he doesn’t have the skill. So, who has? Who tweaked him by suggesting hey, instead of bottling your worthless Vaseline gel, lets tie it to a product for the gullable (sorry @glory no intent to denigrate) and fleece them out of some real cash. Chris being who he seemingly is thought PAYDAY! If he had some brains and desire to keep his charade perpetual, he wouldn’t have spent any of the $$$ and anticipated this kind of circustance and promptly refunded glory’s money. That keeps the next set of potential victims in line for their chance at mystical Vaseline enlightenment.

 

I guarantee that the actual builder of the latest power cable is sitting quietly somewhere eating Cheetos (pun intended) anxiously watching this saga unfold. Each minute that passes without Chris refunding Glory is another second toward his house of cards collapsing. Once again, why aren’t ANY of the Nano-fanboys chiming in. I could at least respect them if they said something like “I have the Nano-Flo in a bottle, it works for me but Chris should do the right thing”. Same goes for Stero Times…where is their character???

Sorry could not help it @ghasley

Reminds me also of the human pheromone ads you used to see in various magazines a decade ago or so

I shudder to think of the type of person for whom Vaseline based miracle gel is a pheromone.
