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.
Hit the note? I will pump the brakes when you refund @glory .
Until then, I will carve out time on a daily basis to keep your unethical behavior at the top of the most read threads on Audiogon. If I get tired, others will pick up the slack.
There won’t be anyone in the active audio community who won’t be aware of your unethical practices and you won’t sell alot of your shyte cables to the Epson printer crowd. Its your call, its your decision…and most of us are having fun bantering with and making fun of you and you seem to be the only one who doesn’t realize how bad you are coming off.
I am not in the audio undustry. I use reasonable cables, i just dont drink the coolaid. Maybe I just cant hear the effects of power cords above a certain level or maybe the power supply in my $30k amp doesnt need the help, who knows.
You are so disconnected that you think this is about me not believing your super unobtanium doesnt work. This is about you being unethical to a long time Audiogon member. I’m not saying your product isnt effective. If you read back in my posts I’ve made fun of you and your product because you simply don’t know if your product does anything but you are taking a flyer trying to monetize it. You cant say what it does because you dont have a clue. It categorically cant enhance conductivity unless the contacts needed a little nano sanding.
If you have an ounce of character you would give @glory his rightful refund, until then, the barrage will continue. If we cost you just a few potential victims per week, that adds up.
ok, I will again retract another free offer for you to test NanoFlo. It’s obvious audiophiles here are not interested it the truth, but are just on the prowl for viscous attacks against anyone with something new
I’m not about to smear Vaseline with a fine abrasive suspended in it into my wall, my power conditioner and certainly not any of my gear. Others say they hear improvements, others think its utter BS. I dont care one way or the other but I despise unscrupulous actors. He may think Im going to go away or get tired. Zero chance and I think @jerryg123is probably in the same camp.
Chris, very generous of you to offer to give me a cable for free but I really am not interested in trying it. I dont believe you are acting in a forthright manner in your dealings with @glory
Just refund his money and move on, wiser for the experience.
The issue is not about the goop,Chris, it’s about your character and honoring your return policy which was unconditional with no requirements. It was returned as you sent it within the 30 days and shipped by the same carrier as you shipped to me, FedEx.
Do not stray from the pressing issue and that being integrity and upright character and honoring your return policy.
For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

“Yea Chris your goop is out of this world now refund Glory his $$$”
I can’t IM you, but contact me and I’ll send you my new offering for free. If you try it and don’t hear the difference you can continue to rip me apart and who am I to depute your review. You got a duel input amp, I’ll send you 2 nano treated adapters to use between the cord end and the wall. After 75 hours report what you want and I will not comment at all. If my tech is no good, then tell everybody.
Flo could have sold the returned cables at 2/3 off retail price @ $2,250.00 vs now retail $7.5K. Most used gear buyers are looking to pay 60% to 75% off retail. Before this mess Flo could have listed the two used cables and sold them faster at $2.3K than $7.5K and made $1.5K. I paid $1.5K per cable.
Now that he has shown himself to be unethical no one will buy his cables.
He has posted the returned cables back to me but I will not open the box nor receive them.
The Gary Anderson on Aug 22 was not me but another Phile with the same name asking to buy his goop. This Gary Anderson has a different email address than mine. He assumed it was me but it was not.
Audiogon buyers are looking at 60%+ off retail price to buy gear. Some want 75%.
retail Flo AC cable $7.5K 😳
2 used Flo AC cables $2,250.00 restored with fresh new goop. Less than 30 days old. Sells them and makes $1.5K and I am happy he’s happy and the buyer get 60% off.

Was sent a screenshot by the Flo of my Aug 22 ask to buy his goop. Yep, Gary Anderson did request to buy on that date but not this Gary Anderson. Same name but different Email address 😳🙄
always do your research before you badger another person in a public forum and on an EBay site that is public.
This is an absolute, Vaseline filled clown car of a "business venture". In 24 hours you managed to take something shady but still able to operate on the periphery into a radioactive, probably wont sell another cable kind of "enterprise". Thats good for those who might have made the mistake of clicking buy it now. Simply amazing.
Here’s another simple question Chris that you will never answer: Who, besides you, has a vested interest in the selling and marketing of these $10 cables?
Are you going to refund @glory ? Courts tend to frown on those who try to change the terms of an agreement after an agreement was already made.
I just skimmed a good portion of the thread @ghasley. You called this one early. I see a few others were calling this correct as well. I also saw promoters. They should be sending @glorychecks. They are complicit. Glory, I cut and pasted that from Ebay. I suggest taking a screen shot.
I am sure you set up a claim with EBAY? They will have a record of the posting as it appeared on the date you purchased. That he sent 5, not the 3 ordered (ebay will never screw this up), will already make Ebay suspicious. He has also changed his listing and is attacking you in that listing. I have been using Ebay for decades and have never seen that behavior. Shocking. That will also not sit well with Ebay. They will pull the listing. You may have to get on the phone and sit on hold, but you can get a real person. I am shocked someone would put this in an ebay listing:
User name "Glory" on audiogon forum tried to buy the proprietary gel in August 22, however we refused to sell it to him or anyone else. After the Stereo Times review came out, Gary accidentally bought 5 cables (at a steep introductory discount too) and we shipped 3 immediately and held two for either later shipping or refund. Gary A was so impressed with quality far superior to the Hemmingway's he was using, he told us to ship the other two cables. The short version is he then asked again to purchase off of ebay our secret and proprietary gel that we DO NOT SELL to anyone and again we refused. TWO days later without warning Gary returned the two cables, demanded a refund, but he stole the secret gel off the cable ends before sending them back.
Our 30 day return policy was not so anyone could keep buying cables to swipe the gel off the ends and pay only shipping, so now anyone buying two or more units triggers a final sale. Try one cable on the main amplifier and if you really don't hear new clarity, depth of soundstage and musicality, send it back unaltered within 30 days.
You made a mistake in this process, you trusted someone unworthy of your trust. Your best course of action is to dispute the charge and the transaction with EBAY, Paypal and your credit card provider.
Chris has visions of grandeur and an inflated sense of self. He won’t be backing down unless its painful. Even then, he may not because he is doubling down on his vision...whatever it may be. Explore legal remedies, take snapshots of his webpage and any communications he may have sent or been a party to. The same goes for texts and forum posts. Its highly likely he may have committed some variation of fraud. He has certainly breached the contract, your job is to ensure you have done what was required of you in the transaction. You may have other remedies as well through EBAY in addition through your local consumer protection agency. Depending on how vindictive you want to get, did he charge you sales tax and does your state require it? Most do so it might be interesting to get his name on their radar.
Chris, I would be curious how you contacted Gov Abbot and for what purpose a "$10mm service contract" would be offered. Was there an RFP to which you responded or does your product cure the power grid of shortcomings? I can see how Musk might have been distracted but I am shocked that Bezos didn’t do a deal with you!
To anyone considering doing business with Chris Arnold, Nano-Flo or Enterprise Coatings, please read this thread starting about page 12. If you proceed, you are doing so at your own risk. Stick a fork in this one... Nano-Flo is an ethically challenged money trap.
Chris, if you've already spent Glory's money, at least man up and make payments. Maybe you can get an advance on your credit card. Jokes aside, this whole episode will cost you more than if you had just been honorable in your dealings. Its one thing to sell a mysterious elixir that may or may not provide value to those inclined to buy, its another entirely to not honor the money back guarantee you provided.
Chris, you do realize that threads like this live on forever on the internet right? The only time that shouldn't cause you to pause and rethink your apparent lack of strategy is if this was your final attempt to pull off something like this. Refund Glory's money and those others who have requested same. Glory just happens to belong to an active hobbyist community and forums like these can prove invaluable, both good to the potential consumer and bad to the occasional bad actor.
Think about it, anyone who Googles Nano-Flo, Chris Arnold and Enterprise Coatings this thread (and others) will pop up. They will either see that a misunderstanding was handled or they will see that it wasn't. The ball is in your court.
