My Schumann Generator has Arrived

I received my Schumman Generator on Saturday and I was finally able to try it out today. I tried it centered between the speakers on my rack at about 3ft from the floor. I really couldn't hear much of a difference. I moved it around the room and placed it on different surfaces all about 3ft from the floor. I listened to the same song, all the way through, at each location. I still didn't hear anything different. Then I placed it on top of one of my diffuser panels that is centered between the speakers behind my listening position. This is about 6ft from the floor. Now, I definitely heard a difference. The sound stage widened and the instruments had a more defined space within the sound stage.

Now for the questions. Would higher work even better? Is there a sweet spot for the distance from the floor that has worked for you? Does more than one generator improve things?

There's people said it has to be 6ft off the floor. The idea is it radiates radio waves, so no idea why it would matter. In my room the first two were added at about 5ft off the floor. No problem hearing just one, and the second seemed about as much additional improvement, so I ordered a couple more. Those two went about the same height on the other side of the room. Same thing, each one gave about the same additional improvement.  

Well they are cheap so I ordered a couple more. And then a couple more after that. Finally went for a 9th. Pretty sure we are up to 9 now. Was going after Mahgister but he has 11, too rich for me! No actually it's just I am running out of USB chargers. Got another power supply but that involves hard wiring, I have too many projects going......    

I haven't noticed location has anything to do with it. I did however once again accidentally prove something really does make a difference. Was messing around and unbeknownst to me pulled one of the plugs out. It was running 2 generators. The system sounded a bit flat. I've been reviewing cables and changing things around and thought at first that was it. Darn cables just not quite as good as I thought. 

Until I went to double check and dress the cables and wait- what? How'd that get on the floor? Plugged it back in and once again all is well. 

Still one of the crazier tweaks. I would suggest moving it around, see if you can get away with putting it somewhere behind gear where you don't have to see how cheap and ugly the darn thing is. Then order some more! lol!
