Cost effective Schumann Resonator


After reading about the Acoustic Revive unit, I was looking on Ebay and found a Schumann Resonator for $175 (plus $20 for a very nice plexiglass case). It's model designation is Chartres Mk.2. It is made by a fellow named David in Indonesia. He was a pleasure to deal with, start to finish. The unit arrived in about 10 days. The fit and finish was reassuring. It is a circuit board with good quality components mounted between two sheets of well cut and finished plexiglass.
I have read, and failed to understand a lot that has been written about Schumann resonators, but I am willing to. Suspend disbelief and try a tweak that a lot of folks say works. My initial reaction on hooking up the resonator was disbelief. Sound stage and localization were noticeably better. I had to disconnect and reconnect the unit several times to convince myself that I wasn't fooling myself. Mechanism of action be hanged, it made a very positive difference in my system. This finding was confirmed my moving it to a second system where, again, spatial information seemed much improved.
I am very happy with this purchase. Results rule!

But our good mutual friends, dare I say colleagues at NASA and Harvard ( Cliffe for the Deadhead chicks previously mentioned, but a regress ) have done some work on human body natural resonance frequencies, effects of infrasonics, very interesting reading....
5-10 HZ for some of the major organs, gee not so far from 7.83
But since our good Sattelite shepherd passed physics, one should contemplate how any smallish recording venue manages to fit that low bass note into the room ?
