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.

theaudiotweak:

Just found a 2009 study done in Japan, but no follow up.

Looks like there is a >30% chance that it will lower my BP approx. 10%, and only a 3% chance that it will increase (my) BP (60% chance that it will have Zero effect).

I need one that is rechargeable (only USB charger source here is the iMac), so worth a try for $25, or so.

Not keen on exposing my wife to it so probably won't try it in the living/listening room unless she's in one of the bedrooms for an extended period of time.

I speculate that DACs can be improved because the resonances may influence the dither in a way to make "uncertainty" more certain.
That is to say the converter's resolution improves. Bits that were in the "gray" area are now defined to be a "0" or a "1". What was unclear in the data now becomes clear and strengthened after applying resonance.

Very clear .... Thanks

what a breeze to read coherent posts....

@sokogear  Get a dB meter.
Play pink noise through your system at a level to read at about -50 or -60 dB. Use a fixed position for your meter. Turn on the Schumann device.
Read the meter, It should increase by a 1/4 to a 1/2 dB. .
A small change but still significant. Any fractional dB increase is still a lot of energy.
