Review: Acoustic Revive RR-77 Tweak
Sabai, I would like to add "vibration isolation" to your list. My Schumann unit is placed at the end of a piece of maple, sitting on a shelf at the rear of the room, six feet high, extending into the room. The quality of the isolating device changes the sound. My choice is Symposium Rollerblocks. My unit, "Earthsafe Whole House" from Less EMF Inc., has two nice features. It has a ground cord to inject the signal into the wiring of the house (their claim). And it has a dial so you can adjust the output of the unit. I can coordinate it with a Synergistic Research FEQ and a Kemp SR that are in the front of the room. |
"Everything" makes a difference... right? Try this one: play a cd (however you typically treat or don't treat it before inserting in the machine). One track should do it. Next, remove the cd and place it, label side up, on the Schumann Resonator, for five seconds, or longer, if you like. Re-insert and play. Do you hear a difference? |
I found that this über cheap Ikea shelf was perfect for the task of elevating the wave generator. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50282177/ |
I have had my RR-777 for over six months now. I found a "Non official" used one on ebay from Japan. Cost $180, which is more in line with reality.It looked new , by the packaging and condition. The effect is of getting immersed in the soundstage, rather than having it laid out in front of you. There is a more relaxed 3D quality to the sound. In my texts with BAGRANT, he commented that the sound is more annoying with the unit turned off! That's how you notice the effect most- you miss it when it's off. There is now a seller of schumann generators with adjustable field strength and massively greater output for the same price. Much cheaper than the questionable practice of using multiple units. How would you know they are producing their pulses in unison? It has dual chartres pattern coil antennas. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/262452147803 There was a bench test video demonstrating the increased output compared to the 777.... Has anyone tried it? |
clmelis 10 posts 06-28-2016 9:39am That's the official line. The current model is the 888 anyway. It's not painted with magic symbols inside, but it WORKS! I saved $400 for the same performance. I'm happy. I happy if you're happy. But I kind of doubt your eBay unit has the same performance as the real McCoy. I never said the eBay version doesn't work. But everything is relative. That's why there's an RR-77, RR-777 and RR-888 and why aftermarket power supplies further improve them. |
I was pretty skeptical of this, and don’t usually do fringe stuff, but was intrigued enough to get an RR-888. I experimented with positioning it in several different places in the room, just using the wall wart that came with it. My best compromise is about 6 feet off the ground, at a point perpendicular to the speakers, aimed from one side about a foot in front of the speaker line. I eventually bought a linear power supply for it- a bench type with multiple channels, a large toroidal transformer, and the ability to limit voltage and current, connected with Switchcraft barrel plug and banana plugs. I like what it does, and have now idea how it works- I gather the effect may be on the person, rather than some mysterious blocking of EMF. And no, I don’t take substances when I listen or otherwise. :) |
