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.

Thanks for your follow up, and it is really what I thought happened, that you started this before the business relationship fell apart.

It is just my preference that this guy Chris does not benefit one cent from all the goodwill we have towards Krissy.

 

@theaudiotweak

And yes, I think Krissy was taken advantage of because of her good nature and engaging personality and her kind relationship with many of us on Audiogon.  That man used her as a market resource to actually test the product and to test its market acceptance in the audio field.

All of us who have dealt with Krissy have a lot of praise for her.  Are you are telling us that this Chris, who I will not even bother to give my opinion on for fear of getting the moderators on me, is the individual who used her not just originally when her significant other died but again now?

I don't understand what you get out of helping this guy here?  Do you believe that the increase in sound quality from this product (if any) is worth just ignoring that the purchase is from someone who screwed over Krissy twice?????

What really is disappointing is that I think a number of persons on this thread are so used to being gullible when it comes to HIFI that they actually believe this guy and probably think that those of us who are questioning his obvious BS are just malcontents.  

...explains how he makes nano diamonds which he stated to me does not contain diamond.......

Based upon the entirety of this thread, perhaps a more appropriate name for this product, whatever it is, is Drano-Flo.

Perhaps cubic zirconia is a dynamite conductor?

 

 

Ha, definitely joking.  But this thread definitely is crazy.  From earlier posts I thought this Chris person screwed Krissy over, but later posts seem to be implying that he is actually helping her out in some way or another.

I have respect for Krissy, can someone clear this up?

@deludedaudiophile

Then you look at the claims below. 0.1nm and 2nm are encompassed by 0.01 and 10nm.

Sorry deluded, you just don’t understand scientific jargon, otherwise you would realize that 0.1 nm equates to .01 of a nano meter. It’s a whole new form of measurement.

 

 

@ghasley 

I missed the part where he was helping her...

I thought as you did, that Chris was, putting it mildly, not treating Krissy fairly.  Then somewhere along the line I thought @theaudiotweak, or maybe it was Chris, implied that Chris was really helping her.

I am hoping that Tom will just spell it out clearly, in simple words, is Chris helping Krissy in any way or is he the protagonist as far as she is concerned?

 

 

@glory  It took me a while to put together why your image seemed so familiar, but it just came to me how similar you look to our old friend geoffkaitt

@glory  @facten 

glory, I have to agree with facten above.  Your post is weirdly confusing in general and besides that appears to be praising the cable, which is unbelievable after what you have been put through.  And if you or anyone else thinks you can slop some goop on a cable and make it fantastic, well, let's leave it at that.
