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.

@glory A question...you did purchase through Ebay correct?

 

If so, be sure that you communicate to Nanoflo only through the Ebay messaging system. Send a message every day that you are requesting a refund and return per the original listing. Ensure that you are following the Ebay rules to request a refund and return to the letter. Be sure to let Ebay customer service know that you are trying to return as the ad stated in the right way and do so multiple times prior to the 30 days running out. 

 

Nanoflo has a contractual obligation with Ebay. In addition to a contractual obligation with you. Ebay is "judge, jury and executioner" so to speak with their relationship with Nanoflo as well as the relationship between you and Ebay. What they say and do is final.

If a CC was used he should have recourse with the financial institution also.

In cases of this type the consumer is afforded more protections than the retailer or seller. Right or wrong,

This all seems so childish and would have been resolved quickly by a legitimate business. A real businessperson would not want all this bad press over what is a pittance compared to the lost sales and tarnished reputation of this alleged company.

Sorry but it seems so shade tree, the business that is Nano Flo or whatever their name is.

One can not talk to EBay on the phone nor PP.. I returned the cables by FedEx as it was shipped to me by FedEx only to learn EBay uses USPS. Ebay  gave me a label after I posted the cables back to the Flo. I do have an order number and a return ID number.

 

I opened a dispute with PP and my CC company said PP takes 10+ days to get back to me. Flo got the cables back over 10 days ago with a written text that he received them.

 

PP gets the $$$ back from EBay and if PP drops the ball my CC will take over from there. Having no experience with PP protocol I should have shipped using their label. I am sure PP will get the $$$ back.

 

signing and receiving Flo’s goopless cables today would have voided my refund I believe and I was not tempted to sign for them. Why he would ship them back to me I don’t know.

 

if anyone can supply me with a EBay tele number that I can talk to an agent would be helpful.

Glory, there are a number of YouTube videos explaining how you can talk to a live person from eBay.  Check them out.
