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.

Great synopsis @ghasley, I simply do not have the patients and tact for that. More of a junkyard dog when it comes to thieves and grifters like Chris @nano-flo rather take him in an ally then take him to court.

The old hockey player in me. 

I’ve known the “reviewer” and spoken and written to him many times and trusted his take on the product and his take on Nano Flo was very accurate as his findings were the same as mine. I kept three, and returned two and with that we all get to see the Flo’s true character.

Altered and extortion, disclaimer on the receipt not to wipe off the group all adds to his broken down character being exposed.I didn’t even know there was goop on the cables when I opened the box and right away like the audio fool I am I applied the black Q45 Rick Schulz goop on the first three. No instruction at all in the box. Zero. Now on his EBay ad he has his disclaimer on no other contact enhancers in your system and if so 100% must be removed Otherwise the warranty and refund are voided.I kept $4.5K of his $25.00 cables and returned 2. I now have 3 cables with no warranty because he didn’t take the time to write out instructions on how to use his product.

Glory is still learning about Life and the complications involved in dealing with different types of personalities and this Nano Flo personally here has a name folks use…..

 

Mind boggling is a great way to sum up this thread 🙈

@jerryg123 I hear you…I don’t wonder about the motivations of the proprietor of the shell game (Chris @nano-flo ) but I do wonder about those gathered around, certain they can spot which shell has the pea.  @glory and others made an ill advised decision to get in the game. Anyone doing so from here on should have their head examined. 

 

I would sooner trust the Nigerian princess who recently contacted me to assist her collecting 100 bazillion British pounds from her bank, which she has agreed to split with me….I would trust her more than I would trust Chris @nano-flo 

@glory it’s too bad but I have a sincere question for you. You would NEVER do business in this way in any other part of your life so why did you in hifi? Chris is thr proverbial guy in the white van and you didn’t bother researching him further for a $4.5k purchase?

 

Something is also amiss because if I dispute a charge on my card, it happens instantly. 

@jerryg123 if we were all in a bar, Chris, you, me, the OP, MikeG, Glory…we would have had Tweak sneak out the side door early. MikeG would have soon after, Chris would be pounding the table that he is right and a genius and the bouncer would have winked at us. We would have done our best to advise Glory but people do what they do. Chris might have even pounded the table one time too often and he would have been removed from the table…unless he was running a tab.

CC said EBay 1st PP 2nd and if they fail to do their job they will step in. All 3 want the buyer to work it out with the seller 1st. 😳🙄

You have one heck of an imagination coming up with your last post. Pounding the table has happened here on this thread.  The 1st 2 leaving out the side door early 🥳.

My last post violated AG terms so I deleted it before Chris cried to the mods

Tomorrow we find out If the Flo has convinced EBay to let him off the hook on the refund. His only defense is I altered the cables and with that he needs pics to prove his point that he doesn’t have. Plugging the cables in and out 3 times per his phone conversation with me would “alter” the cables? By plugging in and out would spread the Nano into the receptacles he told me.

 

Spent $7.5K and want $3K refunded with 2 returned cables in less than 10 days returned back to the Flo. Sad creature.

 

Will keep you posted.

Ignoring the drama…

@glory did these cable sound any different than anything else?

Thanks to all you  warriors that contributed on the issuing of this refund as you all stood on the side of integrity and good character

Your refund is on its way!

have you ever noticed that some very very attractive folks cannot handle their looks as it goes to their heads, and their personality becomes tainted by their good looks, and also those who have incredible amounts of money, even though they’re not good, looking or contaminated by the amounts of money they possess such is what we have going with the Flo he has a product that is a Break through contact enhancer, but his personality has been contaminated and tainted by this awesome product that indeed works on a $25 cable and turns it into a a giant killing $20,000 cable plus.

 

Great sound in the area of audio is not worth compromising My integrity and character as many in this industry have been bought out and paid for for either half price products or free products to write reviews open up threads and the such I would never ever write a review now on this product because the man carrying the product doesn’t equal The awesomeness of the product, whereas had he given me the refund without eBay’s intervention I may have given him a review, knowing that his character equals his product.

 

This is a great day for the light of truth and justice as she has prevailed over darkness

Well, all right!

You get your refund, a company owner shows the audio world how you'll be treated when you do business with him.

Interesting that if you type in the company's name, this forum discussion pops up first and foremost.

Something that might have been thought about at the beginning of this debacle.

You reap what you sow...

The first two guys that existed the door first at the bar, where were they during all the writings in this thread  on the behalf of integrity and good character???

@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

"I would never ever write a review now on this product "

And yet by these comments you already did , in fact a favorable review

"doesn’t equal The awesomeness of the product,"

"the Flo he has a product that is a Break through contact enhancer, .... awesome product that indeed works on a $25 cable and turns it into a a giant killing $20,000 cable plus."

Always best to re-read what you write

@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.

Well I am so glad this has been worked out. No thanks to Chris Arnold and his lack of ethics and integrity.

I am hopeful that the entire audiophile community learns that Chris Arnold and his company @nano-flo simply cannot be trusted. 

 

Now then, Ebay did exactly what they were supposed to. The only person in the room that didn’t think this would happen was the "genius".

 

@glory now that you have your money back, you learned something. Frankly I would have returned them all (as I am on the record not wanting ANYTHING to do with Chris Arnold or @nano-flo ) but I believe you still have some of the cables in your system.

 

Before you or anyone else claims ANY EFFICACY is achieved whatsoever by smearing Vaseline with a suspended abrasive on your precious gear and paying 4 figures for it, maybe using some Deoxit as a control experiment might be in order.

 

Order two cables from someone. Listen, smear some Vaseline on, listen and then compare. While I would never recommend using Vaseline (or Nanoflo for that matter) on good audio gear...I believe the people hear something. Me? No thanks.

 

Anyone who buys anything from @nano-flo going forward, there appears to be a pattern of behavior established.

So that's what Geoffkait looks like??!

Not how I had him pictured in my head...
