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.

The screed of text in Item Specifics makes for some, errr, interesting reading. https://www.ebay.com/itm/154936890468?hash=item2412f55464:g:ddoAAOSwmf9iWb7G |
This just gets weirder and weirder. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=nano-flo&_sacat=0 PC with molded plug and connector, some kind of small choke device and labels. Price slashed from $1500 to $1000. What a bargain!!!! Seller has 100% positive feedback, as far as I can see mainly selling coins.

Just a FYI, people, this is the same person who appears to be making and/or selling a PC for $1000 on ebay. As you'll see in the photo, it has a molded plug and connector and gives every appearance of being mass-produced, with some very minor modifications. https://www.ebay.com/itm/154936890468?hash=item2412f55464:g:DMsAAOSwZ4ViTnT8 The box it comes it might be most expensive part of it. |
@jerryg123 So more than double the price of the PC. |
Evidently, like Fox Mulder said, some people really do want to believe. Only the thing is, they want to believe that Apollo 11 never landed on the moon, that the CIA did for JFK, that Sarah Palin reads magazines, and that nano-flo is the NEXT BIG THING. I suspect that it gives them a warm and fuzzy feeling just to think that they know something that most people don't, and no amount of reasoning is going to persuade them otherwise. So there will always be a limited clientele for purveyors of this sort of product, more's the pity. |
@theaudiotweak You're av@ghasley 's questions, and with good reason, because you have no way of answering them satisfactorily.

The callous cynicism of buying a $7 power cable, dipping the tips in a mysterious liquid, and then throwing it up on eBay for $1500, then "reduced" to $1000, to me says a great deal about the individual involved, and also sends up all kinds of other red flags concerning any and all claims made.
