Schumann Resonator

Mmm....OK, being the 'devils' advocate' of sorts to some, a PIA to others...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances#Basic_theory

Now, I won't argue with anyone's' impressions of what a SR unit 'does' to ones' comprehension of the response and their response to their audio systems.  After all, some have spent considerable sums on IC's and other wire elements, risers, et all... After all, 'to each..' ..etc.

But to attest that a 10$+ device (I can almost believe that a 1K$+ unit Might) begin to effect one's apprehension of the response of one's equipment in Earths' atmosphere based on the physics explained with the Wiki link above....

I might 'give it a go'....I've spent more on more 'mind-melting items' in the past, but I suspect that I'm more of an outlier than MOR in the assembled posters here....;) 

Based on the commentary posted, I'd ensure any sales meeting with a client would Demand having a portable SG unit in the kit....if only to 'mellow out' the client so they don't gasp with our quotes....

(I was 'schooled' by a successful owner of a previous employment that if the client doesn't 'suck air' when quoted, you're too cheap...)

The other 'splaination is that y'all are all on drugs or 'lit' at the same time, which is impractical and unlikely.

Expound further, PLS.

Being a pulse frequency, I not sure any speaker made could produce the wave. My simple understanding is, it is a low frequency magnetic pulse that helps nullify EMI etc. On the music front, I liken it to a subwoofer’s effect on bringing in the whole spectrum of music to create overall better balance. Given the SR is a very, very low sub frequency, I would think it would be a similar thing, balancing out subsonics to ultimately bring the system to an even finer level of balance. Just a concept.

MC:    "Starting with one I added a couple at a time until now at 8 with 2 more on the way. Each one improved the same amount as the last. So much for the "law" of diminishing marginal returns. Some say they need to be 5ft off the floor."
                  How you gonna get in your listening room MC?

Little has been said about what is the active effect giving rise to perception of improved sound quality.

Given (1) the reported effects of these waves on humans and (2) the 7.83Hz frequency is well below the bottom of the audible audio band, it seems to me that any effect it has on perceived sound from an audio system it more likely to be caused by its effect on the listener than by its effect on the sound in the room or on system components. I posit it is likely it is the well-being effect of the waves on the listener that is improving his/her perception of the sound quality.  His level of well being has changed, not the sound.

Another aspect that has not been touched on here is the the volume of the output. Does the beneficial effect increase as the volume of the waves is increased? If so, is there some limiting point?

Some postings state adding further generators causes bigger improvements in perceived SQ. So it could follow that higher volume from one generator could do the same. Since signals at this low frequency are very non-directional, I posit that one high volume generator will have similar effect to multiple lower volume ones.

Moving on, when I can again eat at a top restaurant should I take a Schumann generator with me?  My perception of the quality of the food may rise as a result of my heightened feeling of well being.  Other diners may remark on the difference.

While I am in bed with my wife......

Should I carry one at all times?

@clearthinker - I think the way the system’s sound hits our ears is directly related to how we perceive the sound. On any day, if I sit just a few feet from my primary listening spot, the sound changes because the sound waves hit my ear differently due to the directionality of the waves and reflections in the room. Holographic imaging is likely lost. 

The resonator affects sound waves in the same way. Though it may only emit 7.83hz frequencies, remember that frequencies’ phasing intersect at the top of the wave and phase out at the bottom of the wave, and effects can be generated as frequencies intersect at their intervals (e.g. if perfectly in phase, 7.83hz may affect 15hz every two cycles, 30hz every four cycles, 60hz every eight, etc). That way this affects may cancel some frequencies, amplify others, but it brings a “pattern” into the way it may do it, which in most times will likely “clean” it a little and bring a sense of satisfaction.
