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.

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.

Another day and no refund @nano-flo you have zero credibility now. 

Sad and pathetic. 

TheCar,

 

I did ever number possible. No way you can talk to flesh and blood.

 

Another day and no refund @nano-flo you have zero credibility now.

Sad and pathetic.

@jerryg123 to be fair, once many people hear things like room temp superconductors, the average person is filled with awe, and usually soon after…l they are filled with a foreboding feeling of a BS festival.

The person spruiking the stuff, either:

  1. Believes genuinely this… and the conclusion is then to question their mental faculties.
  2. Or they do not believe it, and they are a well aware of what they are doing.

In either case, the conclusion one should reach, after the initial awe wears off, is it politely remove themselves from the company of that person.

To say that they have “zero credibility now” assumes that they one did have some.

So it is sort of an insult to everyone’s basic intelligence, or at least a nod to peoples gullibility and desire to not miss out.

 

 

I do believe this stuff probably works, but like a magic trick, it’s not working how one believes it is.
(I suspect that it is more likely the scraping action of the shards in the Vaseline are removing corrosion and effectively working like a cutting compound making an old paint job shiny.)

I am not the smartest fellow, but I will not pretend that there is all of a sudden, some loss of credibility. The snake oil has been there since the opening post proclaiming things like…

 

 

Today after many years of trials and tribulations …

Sounds like martyrdom.
Or at least some religious quest, like a grail or quixotic endeavour. 

Certainly not trail and tribulations like fleeing war.

These trail and tribulations are pretty first world.

^Correct^

How can we not be impressed?
And his friend said it, and not him…

 

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.

The straight jacket… and tin foil 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.

Wow… where can I get some?
