What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?


My vote: Furutech Outlet Cover 105 NCF $220, with “special crystalline material that has two “active” properties.” https://www.thecableco.com/outlet-cover-105-ncf.html

I’ve been following with interest the Schumann Frequency device ever since Acoustic Revive introduced it all those years ago (12) and even tried a Schumann frequency CD, that produces an audio I.e., acoustic wave in the room of 7.8 Hz through speakers, even computer speakers, if you see what I mean.

But as far as any explanations go, none, including those found on the Acoustic Revive web site and VH Audio web site and attempts by reviewers if they even attempted explanations - which they probably didn’t - do not really explain what’s going on. These “explanation” do not explain why the 7.8 Hz frequency improves the sound. The explanations obviously threw a lot of facts together and hoped it would suffice. Sorry, don’t buy it. That doesn’t make it an explanation.

I’m not implying it doesn’t work. I’m saying no one has explained how the Schumann frequency improves the sound. At least not to my satisfaction. It’s OK that it’s a mystery, isn’t it? Doesn’t the whole world love a mystery? As Bob Dylan says at the end of all his songs, good luck to everyone.
Thanks Geoff... I like your openness and direct speech,experience and franchise...I think you are right for an exact explanation...But loosely speaking, the frequencies certainly act on the audio grid and the room but also on the listening body …. My best to you...

It is not (rpt not) true that NASA installed Schumann Frequency generators on the Shuttle for the well-being of the astronauts. I don’t know how that rumor got started but you can find it as a selling point for some wellness web sites. 👩‍🚀

Also, the argument that the real Schumann frequency is being drowned out by the proliferation of radio frequencies in our modern world doesn’t make sense because the Schumann 7.8 Hz electromagnetic wave cannot be “drowned out” by the radio frequencies that are very high up in the Megahertz and Gigahertz regions. It’s the same reason why a satellite 🛰 uplink frequency cannot interfere with the downlink frequency since those frequencies are deliberately separated. The real Schumann wave that exists in the channel around the Earth’s circumference is as strong as ever, perhaps even stronger now due to more extreme bad weather, I.e., lightning storms.
You are right Geoff, but I am certain also that these frequencies affect the listening body, if they are re-inforced by a resonator; and more than that these frequencies affect my stones grid trough a single cable and trough that the audio grid...when I added these connected stones to the resonator the result was "wow"...Then I understand your point that a frequencies does not drown out another, but re-inforcing one that must make some difference I think...My best..
You still have not explained why or how the Schumann frequency improves the sound. It would be nice for either a physical, electronic or psychological explanation. It seems rather far-fetched that the human brain is influenced by or requires an external frequency, the Schumann frequency, to function properly. I’m not buying it. The 7.8 Hz frequency is nowhere near the audio frequency range of 20-20k Hz. The Schumann frequency wavelength is 25,000 miles for heaven sake and doesn’t even fit in the room! 😬
