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.

The "dithering" analogy is as good an explanation as any and better than most. I don't think it is psychological, but I did find that some people didn't experience it or notice a difference. And I'm one who actually prefers my system without it, so I'm not inclined to view it through the lense of expectation bias. I mentioned Geoff only b/c he was always on the fringe with some wild stuff and meant it in a light-hearted way-- I had no issue with him, personally. 

And I'm one who actually prefers my system without it,

I already explain that i prefer the S.G. in my grid to be modified.... Because the effect is good but could be a nit in the negative direction in some system.... Then i balanced the effect with 2 powerful means: the golden plate will make the effect going more with an acuentuation of the mid frequencies and the Herkimer diamond more with an accentuation of the higher frequencies, then adding the 2 operate a perfect balance in the S.G. effect... Try it, you may change your mind about the addition of the S.G.





Some people did not experience this audible "dithering" effect of the S.G. frequency because it is an audible effect but NOT so powerful in some case, it cannot erase by itself ONLY some of the negative effects of the many noise levels: mechanical noise level, electrical noise level, acoustical noise level...

I NEVER recommend it for the first and only acoustical or electrical controls embeddings....WHY?

Because i know first hand that a room and a house and an audio system uncontrolled, like many systems of many owners here, are not always optimally under control and often not controlled at all...

Then listening to this effect very audible in some minimal conditions is not always possible in other conditions...

Dithering frequency work but dont create miracles...

Helmholtz tubes and pipes grid work miracles way more huge than my S.G. grid so good it is....

My "golden plates" are more powerful also....

In the last 2 years i created around 200 hundred connections between devices in my room.... They all work but some are not powerful like others....

I mentioned Geoff only b/c he was always on the fringe with some wild stuff and meant it in a light-hearted way-- I had no issue with him, personally.

I had no real issue with him and in fact i miss his humor....I try to have no personal issue with anyone and i speak to all who want a discussion... I am only a bit impatient with those who stick with blinders.... At least Geoffkait never stick to dogmas.... I am unorthodox myself then....


With GK it was simple for me, I always walked away with more questions than answers. :-) I felt like I had to answer my own question, if there was one to be had.. I guess he made me work harder after all.. LOL
He was a different sort for sure..

You say light-hearted. I say mean-spirited and malevolent.

The challenge now is to find one genuinely light-hearted post. Every single one of his jokes that I ever say was at the expense of someone else. His whole website is one big stick in the eye. The guy took pure word salad- "morphic fields" - claimed he could use them to make your system sound better with a phone call, and charged thousands of dollars for it! That is NOT light hearted! 

Sorry he sucked you in. If it is any consolation you were not the only one. But rest assured: you were suckered, that was his goal, and there was never anything light-hearted about it.
Millercarbon you must know firsthand that unorthodox people and those who speak too bluntly or frankly made half the crowd hating them.... 😊

I am in no crowd i dont hate people here....I talked to G. like i talked to you, and i tried to take the good which is in all of us....

My only impatience is sometimes with too "straight" people.... I am not perfect....I like creative and open mind....

I am only interested to making friends here being confined and working no more and talking about audio....They are a very different characters here and i love most of them with my heart....
