Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?

@mahgister.

Bought 8 of them as well as tuning sticks, rocks, gems, crystals and none of that voodoo did a thing. Period.
So how is that for an open mind?
Do make disparaging remarks when you have no clue!
You are easy to classify to it is called a MARK by CON MEN!
Or in the words of PT Barnum "A sucker is born every minuet"
 How about Thomas Tusser " A fool and his money are soon parted"

Think you have that tinfoil hat on a we might tight eh?

So my word for you is actually two words Gullible Sucker!

Your post is not the peak of open mind spirit i read here...

Sheeps usually are easy to classify...They always comes in 2 groups...

In audio thread: gullible audiophiles and enlightened.... (pick your word)

But like already said Groucho Marx:

i understand your anger...

And i admit to owe you an apology...

I apologize sincerely for my post...

Indeed you had tried these S.G. and were not experimenting the same thing than me and some others...

I understand that because it is not the first modification we must do anyway in our audio system and room like i had repeateadly said and it is not always audible effect on all acoustic settings or systems...

Then what is easy to verify in some circonstance is not always repeatable in OTHER circonstances...

It is the reason why in all my posts i promote ACOUSTIC treatment and controls FIRST over any other "tweaks" save perhaps vibrations controls and electrical noise floor control....

Then concluding that a cheap S.G. does not work after your experience is not by any means a final word, because it works for many others people... The main reason are linked to the different characteristic of different systems and their specific acoustic environment...

For me the effect of the S.G. grid is easy to verify by disconnecting it gradually or completely but is at the same time a perceptible effect tributary also  of other acoustics settings in our room...

I am sorry for my erroneous post about you where i mistakenly confuse you with a closed mind dogmatist .... You are not one... But clearly a free investigative spirit....

My best to you....

@mahgister No worries have a good evening sir.

You are a gentleman thanks for your kindness...

Tweak versus method

Buying a ready made "tweak" and seating after that to listen for the audible effect is what most people in the "tweaking" business do, sellers and consumers alike....

It is not my way.... I dont buy costly ready made "tweak" why ?

Not mainly because they are costly, some are not, but because any "tweak" by definition is only a SECONDARY Add-on to the system causing it to improve or not...

"Tweaks" dont solve the THREE PRIMARY problems...

If we speak about an existing audio system, the PRIMARY problems are related to the primary working dimensions of any audio system: electrical noise floor control and decreasing method and devices, mechanical vibrations controls method and devices, and especially acoustical passive treatment and mechanical active control devices and method...


Then a "tweak" is not an experimental set of listenings experiments where we create specific homemade or low cost device solutions...

If we dont adress these 3 working dimensions controls by METHOD and spare our time with only money and buy some "tweak" we dont SOLVE the 3 primary problems, especially the acoustical complex one...


I never recommend any tweak here, especially costly Schuman generator...

I recommend 10 us.  bucks chineese one to play with in an experiment...

But ionizers and S.G. CANNOT and NEVER will replace a string of listening experiments in acoustic and psycho-acoustic for example...You cvannot solve room problem with a Schuman Generator....

I "sell" creativity at no cost or peanutrs cost not "tweaks".... If someone buy them it is not my fault...

I wrote at lenght about my listening experiments about acoustic and vibrations controls for example...NONE of my devices cost more than few cents....The more costly are "secondary" devices like ionizers at 20 bucks and S.G. at 10 bucks...

Alleged Snake oiler sellers are always related to snake oiler consumers...

I am neither of one...






Now a concrete exemple of a specific "tweak" and the difference with a method...

For speakers vibration control i read about a "tweak" which consist to place rubber pucks under the speakers... this is a "tweak" that can improve or not the S.Q. But there will be also a possible trade-off with different  specfic type of speakers... All puck dont work the exact same results under all type of speakers...

My method here first begins with coupling/decoupling sandwiches of 5 different materials under my speakers...I created this sandwich myself at no cost...After that i bought cheap chinese springs boxes and i created a new way to use them with a dyssimetrical compressive force under 2 sets of 4 with each speaker  and a heavy fine tuned damping load of concrete for the compressive force all that by listening experiments...

The results were astounding....A method could sove optimally at no cost a problem.... A "tweak" cannot...A "tweak" can be a good add-on, or a detrimental one with a trade-off  which we are complety unconscious about, because we had not plan any complementary experiments to improve it or discount it...We act without method....

I dont need pucks under my speaker...Not because "tweak" dont work at all , they work, but a more systematical approach focusing  on the three PRIMARY problems is more fertile work than just a " plaster" sometimes on an open wound... And using a puck or buying a sophisticated puck system  sold like a "tweak" is not the solution for me....


Then if someone TRY a "tweak" like a cheap Schuman generator, it is a playful experiments i suggested here not a solution for the three main primary problems in audio at all....

No tweak replace method and no tweak replace acoustic control.... None....
