Schumann Resonator


I got 2 of these from Amazon...careful that free returns are applicable.  I charged them up, turned them on and holy moly.....they do help with my system.   What I hear is clarity....space between instruments, a definite difference in upright and electric bass, wider soundstage...you know...all the good stuff. At first I thought it might be increased brightness, but no....it is still the same in that regard.  I still can't believe it, and will listen again tomorrow (saved the packaging for the return)...but today, I'm about to keep them.

Maybe this is a case where a cheap design in fact achieves the desired purpose.  
You are RIGHT on the spot....

 Thanks...

My deepest respect for your help.....

My only other reservation about these devices is that usually a lot of power is required to produce SPLs at a low frequency.   Think powered subwoofer that goes down to 20hz, 10-15 max.   

How do these little inexpensive devices achieve that?   Class D amplification? 

Inquiring minds want to know.   Don't know how they pull that off unless very low SPLs are sufficient to achieve the desired effect.   Or placebo effect?   Both possible.   I'll leave it to others to figure out which and let me know.
I will say, I am not a cool aide drinker, never have been. In fact, I am the guy that looks to refute the popular norm. Particularly anything that might look too good to be true. After researching the SG, it seems to have some veracity. Not only in the musical realm, but in life. In my case, on... sounds like x, off sounds like y. It just DOES. Here is the rub, a doc friend of mine once told me, during a conversation about glucosamine, that it didn’t matter why it worked. If one were to take it, felt better, then that is all that matters as long as no harm was being done. He wasn’t a fan personally, but he recommended it to his patients, as the majority seemed to feel better taking it. Purely anecdotal, but the result spoke for itself. So, the placebo effect is real, and if the SQ is complete BS, but still makes YOUR system sound better to YOU, what’s the problem? In a world of $50,000 speaker cables etc, a little $20-40.00 gizmo is nothing. Worth a shot. YMMV.

Placebo effect forget it! it is too easy to invoke that about ANYTHING someone dont want to experiment with or believe...

Remember that i am not the regular orthodox consumer , i MODIFIED ALL the devices i bought, including set of springs and S.G. i mostly created my other devices myself without buying anything....

Then how do you explain the experiments i did with the S.G. ?

If you add only a piece of shungite with is half the part of my "golden plates" device, on top of the S. G. the sound  will be compressed...

If you add an Herkimer diamond the sound will be decompressed and more clear in highs frequencies range...

It is always the case, not for me only, but from others who try this experiment i recommend...

With this experiment i modify the S. G. adding to it my golden plate (shungite +copper) and add an herkimer diamond for an optimal balancing effect...This is no more placebo but a renewable set of experiments at least 4 experiments, with shungite only, with H.D. only, with the 2 or without any only a nude S.G.

Taking a product like sugar for placebo effect in medecine is one thing, adding materials that modify a device in many didderent possible sets of experiments is another thing totally...

Confusing the 2 is not SCIENCE, it is using a concept in a misplaced context....

For example my 2 years incrementally step by steps increase in S.Q. cannot be attributed to placebo....

A Helmholtz grid of adjusted 18 pipes and tubes is NOT placebo it is pure acoustic science...

In the same way my grid of connected and modified S.G. is not a placebo...

Easy to verify if i disconnect it completely or partially and listening to the sound....

I apologize for not being patient with the "placebo" afficionados...

I dont want to be rude to you.... I speak in general...

You are helpful and i consider you a friend.....

My deepest regards.....

Placebo effect is a real thing. Disqualifying it does one’s argument no good.

maghister, you are taking this much too personally IMHO. You may be right...I may be crazy...( But it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for)...

ANyone can see or hear anything at anytime. It happens all the time. Discounting the possibilities serves nobody. Your generators may work great for you. The next guy not so much. Check out Amazon reviews for a sample.

ALso if you can’t hear it how do you know if it is working properly or even if it breaks? Nothing lasts forever.

Just saying. I know you are too open minded to be close minded- Zeppo Marx.
