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 was away from the computer for a few hours and I missed a scrum.

 

@nano-flo take a deep breath. Think back to all the times in your life when you dug in on a tenuous position. We’ve all done it, we’ve all learned from it. You may not like refunding the money, but that was the deal you made…satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.

 

All the Audiogon community has done here is rally around a trusted fellow member @glory with years of positive feedback. Even though I am not a candidate for your products as Ive consistently maintained, I dont wish you ill will. Frankly speaking, if you talk to any lawyer they will look at the facts here and politely decline to get involved UNLESS you pay as you go. I wish I didn’t know what I’m talking about but even if you have a case, you are $50,000 to get to discovery. Between $100-$150,000 to get through discovery and don’t think the average opposing counsel won’t ask for EVERYTHING in discovery. That means you will have to provide all business records of Enterprise Coatings since that is where the cables are being hosted and sold, besides Ebay. Venue is also an interesting challenge. When your deposition is being shown to a jury of average Americans, they may struggle to understand how you gained cable expertise from scratch in addition to proving true all of your claims.

 

The bad news? Its difficult to prove intent, even if there were inaaccurate statements made and the worst news of all? Its next to impossible to win a fee shift to the other party.

 

@glory  may or may not have a claim through Ebay as well as other avenues. Thats for him to determine. Once again, this whole mess seems to be the result of you wanting to punish a buyer who simply wanted a refund as your original Ebay ad offered seemingly without restrictions. Last but not least, when listing on Ebay you basically sign all of your rights away, ceding that to the sole discretion of Ebay.

 

Best wishes while you ponder the best course of action. You know what the right thing to do is…

This has been nagging me for a while: the claim of "room temperature superconductors." Such a thing was created back in 2020 (google it), but can only exist at massively high pressures - like, bottom of the ocean pressures. At the very least, such a claim is misleading. At worst, it implies either snake-oil chicanery or scientific ignorance passed on to duped customers.
