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

It has been reported many times that isolating the Acoustic Revive Schumann frequency generator from vibration improves performance. Also using a better power cord. The performance in audio applications appears to be related to how accurately the 7.83 Hz is generated. That’s why I decided to get the Black Schumann USB device which, at twice the price of the Blue, generates a more accurate signal.

Since crystals generally act as resonance control devices it’s possible they improve the generation of the 7.83 Hz signal. In a similar fashion crystals on top of Tube Traps improve their performance. Or crystals on a power cord plug improves audio performance.

If my wife were not near my shoulder I would have bought it....I buy domestic peace... But the results I get even with the 10 bucks usb one are astounding, then the frequency was near accurate I suppose...Someday I will buy a better S.G. for sure...

And yes I think that also about resonance...It is the only explanation I can think of about my stones grid when you speak to me about piezo electric effects etc...

An interesting article about cable directionality

I commented on this Positive Feedback article over on the Directional Cable thread this morning,

https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/directional-cables-what-does-that-really-mean

I connect the second Shumann generator,the small usb one, with a thin ( like a hair) copper used and useless telephone cable to my stones grid …. the result is like with my first S.G. now more dynamic,more clarity, better imaging...I am in heaven with my music...


My experiment is proof for me of the value of this tweak: Schumann Generator is a must,but without control of vibration, without the stones, the antenna, the connection with a cable to the other connected stones, the result would be good ,audible but not spectacular for me....For the price paid nothing compared, it is like probably buying a very costly and TOTL piece of gear, it is what I think of all that....My best to you...


You may eliminate S.G. of the costly, ridiculous and useless tweaks list...
