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.

@nano-flo as you are discovering, the path you are choosing is MUCH more difficult to navigate than simply honoring your word. I know Ebay well enough that you will either end up refunding @glory or the user NANOLUBE will lose his ability to sell on that platform. Paypal same outcome. 

 

Why do you insist on blatantly doing something so unkind and unethical? Please don’t be offended that several here declined to accept your cables for free. In my case, it has nothing to do with whether I believe your products are pleasing to some. It is completely in the camp of until you show positive character and a moral compass I dont want anything to do with Chris Arnold, Enterprise Coatings or Nano-Flo.

 

You have it in your power to fix this mess and most of us will go back to our regularly scheduled programming. We all have better things to do.

@glory 

Any chance that @nano-flo refunded your money once he realized he had mistaken you for someone else?

 

It sure doesn't reflect well for the future of Nanoflo if they can't even afford to refund those who choose to return their cables within their 30-day money back guarantee period.

 

Anyone considering a purchase should do their due diligence to ensure if the risk is worth it.

Nothing

I texted him concerning his error but no Apology and the false writing concerning me is still up on his ad on the eBay site.

Be sure to report the false accusation to Ebay, they can edit/filter his ad

@ghasley I really do not think @nano-flo has a shred of dignity or a conscience. 

Looking at his business history he has moved from one scam (oil additives) to another (gun oil and cable goop). 

With this in mind and that the amount that Chris has absconded with ($4000.00)? Glory should contact the AG in Illinois and file a complaint for Grand Theft and this could be Wire Fraud also.

How much money stolen is a felony in Illinois?

$500 in value, or theft of property exceeding $500 and not exceeding $10,000 in value, is a Class 3 felony. $500 in value, or theft of property exceeding $500 and not exceeding $10,000 in value, is a Class 2 felony if the theft was committed in a school or place of worship or if the theft was of governmental property.
