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.

Oh heaven's sake. A transformer has a core that has wire windings. When alternating current is run through it creates electromagnetic fields within the transformer.

@mapman - I have place them closed to transformers and yes it does work.

Yes and amp designers go to great length to minimize or totally eliminate that particular effect on the electric circuit.

Its an interesting theory about how the device works its magic. First time I heard it. Not hard to test. Proximity of the device to the amp should produce better sound.

Its a small inexpensive device. What is it’s range?

If it works that way you should let the vender know if not already in the manual so they can inform all users how to best apply their product.

@mapman - this is not theory! Audio signals are electrical in nature. Urghhhhhh  That's WHY electromagnetic fields affect sound.

No argument there. Just clarifying that it is not the sound waves themselves that can be affected...only the electric signal used to create them...or the person listening.  Both are possible and not mutually exclusive.

If you muck with the electric circuit, anything is possible...good or bad...

So you are saying placing the device closer to your amp produces better sound? Is that how it works?
