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.

bjesien, I presume your comment was sarcasm.

Unfortunately I had no other recourse but to use the thread to try to resolve my 'missing' product issue. The seller had stopped responding to my emails 3 - 4 days ago. I learned yesterday from this thread that the product was 'no more'.

As this is the only place it was being talked about, and usually the manufacturer want to uphold their integrity I listed my issue in this thread.

It worked, I've subsequently learned the supplied tracking number was incorrect and indeed the product is in transit to me. I was also issued a refund, which I will repay again once the product arrives.

Too many unexpected happenings over the last two weeks required a pause in the Flo. Still waiting on packaging and custom components.

I plan on walking AXPONA if anyone is down for a quick coffee.

Not elusive, just quietly working behind the scenery.

A sudden shift in marketing was required but it's a good thing that cuts out the middleman, works great and you will get more for your money. We are preparing a 10,000-bottle inventory to ensure uninterrupted availability so this doesn't happen again. Presentation may change but quality of all available product will not change. 

Chris Arnold, just another crazy inventor that created a great contact enhancer for your listening pleasure, if you choose to try it. Since my name is attached to it now, there will be no highly toxic, carcinogenic chemicals, fillers or micron particles allowed - only safe food grade carriers and safe, unique nanomaterials we manufacture.

Maybe I'll see you at AXPONA, but a quick history. Gemologist, Jeweler, and gem cutter of fine opal, tourmaline & sapphire. Now pretty much a cranky Old Man that expects agreements to be honored, and not open to playing "negotiation" games. 

@sheridd2

If there are any further issues I'll take care of it personally with private messaging.

That indiegogo campaign appearred to raise $2 for our troops ten years ago.

Yep Nano Flo the launch has been a bit slow and well kind of a Joke.

 

Rick has his product still available and will have a site up in Canada soon.

 

I have zero trust of any of these shape shifters. Though I do have Ricks product and it works unlike his companies and ethics. 

 

Nano Particle Solution NPS-Q45T Contact Enhancer

    

 

Is this similar to the stuff Clark Griswold rubbed on the bottom of his sled in Christmas vacation? If I recall  correctly that was a food based lubricant. How much is it?

Are there any reviews on the most excellent $1500 nanoflo power cord yet?
 

@nano-flo ,

After reading your responses on here, I suggest in the future you stick to inventing and leave customer relations to someone else. Nothing turns off potential customers faster than a company head with a confrontational attitude.

@thecarpathian

Tried that, didn't work. 

@emailists 

The $1500 cables are now $1000 and it will suppress RFI better that $3500 power cables, guaranteed. You don't like it, no problem just send it back unaltered. Reason it's on eBay is for YOUR protection. Amazon and eBay don't allow frauds and neither do I.

Chris 

try enterprisecoatings.com for what else is available in retail products

 

@nano-flo 

 

Looked on your website and apparently your products are intended to provide a specilized type of lubrication? Cool! A quick question though, are you sure you intended to post on an audio forum to advertise your products?

Maybe it makes the signal slide into the speakers smoother.

@ghasley

No, I mentioned it to show I stopped selling retail, until now.

The only retail products are now in Audio, and soon to be available direct through Audiogon. I suggest all members NOT get anything I offer through ebay or amazon (when it shows up there) and only Audiogon, and I will not take any orders directly. I’m here to answer product questions only, and thanks for having me here.

Should have said that in your first post instead of, you know, saying what you said.

@nano-flo 

 

Ok then, thanks. So, what does your product do for audio systems? How long have you served the audio industry? You mentioned you were a gemologist, please share with us how you ended up serving the audio community. Do you have any objective third parties who use your product in audio?

I'm working on a new video that will make sense to everyone here, and I will finish it in about 7 days. (so don't throw me under the bus just yet)

It's called "Secrets of the power Cable" and most EE's simply ignore these issues as impossible to fix, and their answer is to increase conductor gauge. If you ignore everything else about me, you just might love this info or at least say WTF.

Chris

This just gets weirder and weirder.

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.

I hope a couple guitar players were lucky to get in on testing NanoFlo, if so try this. On the finger tips that glide through chords making that whirring sound, as the finger print ridges slid across the fine cabled string, smear the smallest amount where the finger tips make contact on the strings, and post your feelings please. The product is 100% safe for any animal or human, so give it a try. One application is good for a couple sessions.

Chris

@nano-flo 

 

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying the application is for guitar strings? Does it increase or decrease the finger to string friction and what does it mean for the sound? Is it for steel strings, nylon, gut or all of the above.

I wonder this how they take down old hemmy. I just want thank everyone for supportive email and flower. It bring tear to my eye to be part of such community.

 

@tubemuffer When do you get back from Asia?

Putting some nanotube on the nose of the plane might speed it up and save fuel?

This product would reduce shear wave interference on and in the string creating less resistance to force making the instrument easier to play and probably with a cleaner sound.  I stated before this thread was started either to the distributor or the maker of this product. Tom

@theaudiotweak 

 

Easier to play? As in it is presently too arduous to pluck a guitar string? Do you treat the whole string? Does it enhance the sound or detract? How do you know?

 

What might the typical home audio enthusiast treat on their system and to what effect?

As I understand the materials are of low a shear velocity as is the carrier base contained as a friction reducer along with the elements. If the whole string vibrates, then treat the entire string. It would reduce friction and interference on or within the wound string. It should sound better.  I have never tried this.

I know from other methods I and others have applied to cello and violin which reduce energy returning thru the endpin or end button to the bridge and then to the strings. Makes for better and cleaner sound and if you use a bow there is less force needed to make sound. Should have a similar effect to this material applied directly to the strings. Stick-slip vibration mode apply. Apply to any conductive wire either stationary or in motion. Tom

I am very confused. Who is Chris, Tom, Krissy? One and the same person? What does this have to do with High Fidelity Cables and Rick? Or is Rick the same human being as the three ? 
 

 

I wish I hadn't made a reply or even started this thread. I will stop being observant and sharing information and experiences . Grow a brain .

The $1500 cables are now $1000 and it will suppress RFI better that $3500 power cables, guaranteed.

What $3500 power cable are you explicitly meaning?
How was it measured, was it with an oscilloscope?

@theaudiotweak

It should sound better.  I have never tried this.

No, no…thank you for starting the thread. Please don’t get offended. I really am interested in how this work and for what purpose. It seems though that no one knows what it does or whether it accomplishes the claim.

 

I can see how the casual observer might think that there is something amiss. 

 

Thanks Tom for the heads up on this stuff. This nanoflo product, not the poster, has had a very weird showing up and disappearing act. I am looking forward to knowing a little more about this product. And for nanflo the poster, we are a good group here. No one is being critical, we just like knowing things, especially if something makes our stereo systems sound a little better. So thanks for what your bringing here, so try to enjoy us so we can do the same with you. 

I support my claims in the original post and can see how this product or maybe some others like it could have more than 1 benefit or application.  Tom
