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.

Merry Christmas to all Audiogon members 

 

Do all that’s within you to live at peace with all men.

Here’s my writings to Chris yesterday.

 

Good afternoon Chris, Merry Christmas.

A Christmas proposition for you:

Reimburse me for one cable and  make sure it’s gooped up and also a full vile of goop and ship back to me. Rest assured, I am NOT in the in the market to steal Nano Flo from you and start a cable company. I’m 69 years old, retired and I don’t need the hassle of doing something like that, stealing from you. That’s not on my agenda you can see by my audiogone Feedback I don’t do members wrong.. I’m a pretty upright straight shooter. It’s not in my DNA to steal as I’ve been a business owner,  operator for over 30 years as a high-end paint contractor and I’ve never screwed anyone.

I in return will have Audiogon delete the whole thread that’s online and before it’s deleted I will write in, refund received by Chris Arnold, everything is cool and thanks everyone for your input.

I would then write a positive review of your work and submit it to you before posting with no hint of our conflict.

 Each of us will have to trust each other that we are upright business owners and that in the end we always do the right thing .


We may become friends in all this.

 

Chris was selling a full vile of goop at $900.00 before he yanked the goop. He would still be $600.00 ahead on the refund but I wanted to cast this line in the waters to see if he would at least respond.

Now I await PP to do their thing.

May I be blunt @glory ? Here we go:

 

You will NEVER get the money back from the grifter. Period.

If you are incapable of getting the money back from official sources (eBay, PayPal, credit card company), you are out of your money. 
 

Does this seem straight forward to you?

His now ad on EBay is a game changer in my favor with PP. He now has a protocol on buying his cables that he didn’t when I bought. He messed up by his own writings.

 

Warning: If your system has had any contact enhancer applied to it, such as Perfect Path Technologies or Schultz products, it must be 100% removed before installing our cable or warranty is void, and no returns are allowed. All discounted sales are final. Check out our first negative feedback in 20 years at the end of description.

I got no instructions on such matters when I opened the box of cables.

 

I refrain from any more posts here.

It took him all this time to come up with that disclaimer? Maybe with all the ripping off he's done he can buy himself a conscience, or treat himself to a night out at Applebees...

All the best,
