Schumann Resonator

Simply put, we struggled to hear any difference. However, the one thing that we agreed on is that the sound stage may have been a little bit larger. But it was so minute.

So will i leave them plugged in. Why not. It did not degrade the sound, but I can’t say it really helped either.

Try my little experiment.... Put on the capacitors of the S.G. a thin plate of shungite for phone at few bucks each and a bit of copper tape on the external side after that add an herkimer diamond 3 or 4 gram... Another under 20 bucks that perhaps will surprise you.... But with all the tweaks you already have i am not surprised by the result...

Try my litlle experiment....For fun.... 😊

The sound will be different in the three cases, with shungite on top or with herkimer diamond or with the 2 together... We learn something doing that very strange on the audible effect of minerals in an electrical field....for sure some will call you "nut" here....

But you have already lost it for them....

My best to you....

willgolf, you run horns? Wonder if that has anything to do with it?

Thanks @willgolf for the honest assessment. Sorry to hear about your vision problems which should only improve your hearing. Sounds like you are a major tweaker and can determine which are worthwhile. I'm not surprised the Schumann Resonator is not one of them.

Still looking for a blind test positive....

Gotta love Pat Metheny The first album, all white with Lyle Mays (R.I.P) on piano in the original Pat Metheny Group) is the original audiophile test album that was played during my first real stereo purchase in 1980. All Yamaha....except cartridge Micro acoustics I think). Heavily influenced by the salesman and the price range.

+1  Lyle Mays (R.I.P.)   Pat and Lyle are my favorite modern composers/artists.

I’ve seen Pat Metheny/PM Group probably 8-10 times (including the disastrous Orchestrion tour) and have at least 12 albums, the majority on vinyl.

I wouldn’t say favorite though....that has to be Donald Fagen, never to tour again solo, only as Steely Dan. R.I.P Walter Becker. 15+ concerts and every single original SD or DF album (no greatest hits that kill album themes-except Alive in America) released in the US on vinyl, and the other handful on CD. Maybe 15 albums.... Never miss a tour. Hopefully he’ll come out when the venues open to capacity. Even bought his book and met him briefly. He’s not the warmest and fuzziest....
