Schumann Resonator

@mahgister,

Good link but you could take its argument any way you chose.

In any case, external interference in scientific research ("flagrant conflicts of interest") cannot be a good thing. 

Or are scientific independence and impartiality already things of the past? 
Did they even exist then? Or ever?

In any case we must surely be at a stage of enquiry that's unprecedented in the whole of human history.

So many subjects now find themselves under an increasingly bright worldwide spotlight at the same time by so many people. 

From election conspiracies, the legitimacy of the moon landings, the relevance of the 7.83Hz Schumann Resonance, the supposed death of Paul McCartney, the assassination of JFK, 911, false flags, the covid response, flat earth proponents, the decades old digital v analogue debate, spikes v springs etc.

A kind of intellectual theoretical Darwinist battle is being played out on a daily basis. What will eventually emerge may well be the truth, or it may not. 

Hopefully some bright sparks with never before seen levels of accessible data at their disposal, will be able to make the same kinds of groundbreaking discoveries that the ancient Greeks were able to via sheer force of reason.

Skeptical of Medical Science Reports?Carlton Gyles  Oct 2015

'More recently, Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, wrote that

“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue.

Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.'

@mahgister,

"This is not a QUESTION of price.... This is a question about simple possible low cost methods used to control vibrations, electrical noise floor and acoustic settings..."


I think it's fair to say that all 3 of these concepts have been accepted by and large by audio enthusiasts.

The only difference of opinion seems to be in the extent of their importance and the degree of the 'treatment' required.


@mijostyn,

"I just recently downloaded a seismometer app. I can put the phone down on any surface, tap or bang around and see if it registers on the phone. How cool is that?"



Actually I did the same thing to see if it was possible to measure the effectiveness of different forms of isolation under my speakers.

I downloaded the Physics Toolbox Accelerometer app (there's probably even better apps out there) and then spent some time learning how to use it. Unfortunately I then ran into one of my perennial problems of system set-up - namely a willing aide or accomplice.

Those of us who have partners genuinely willing to help conduct such experiments can count themselves very fortunate indeed.

So I failed to take it any further. Nevertheless such technology could prove extremely useful, especially for anyone with a turntable.

@sokogear,

"Like you, I am not interested in subtle or very subtle improvements, and I have been surprised by how little my turntable improved in sound in an upgrade from the Rega P5 to the P8 while using the same arm from the P8. If I can’t hear am easily noticeable change when hooking up the new equipment or change, it’s not worth it to me."



Agreed in that it’s the easy to hear changes that are most satisfying.

It’s also good to hear that the P8 is clearly superior to the P5 as they are radically different designs.

I’m sure that many Rega owners will find your experiences with siting helpful. For some decks especially, siting can have a considerable effect.

Rega’s approach to resonance control seems to feature ever decreasing mass with increased rigidity and accuracy in bearing / arm tolerances but that might not be the final word.

Even with the very low mass of your P8, siting seems to matter.



@mahgister,

"In the next week or 2 i will describe my last acoustical device more powerful than any other i used in the past..."


As ever, I’m sure your words will be of interest. Food for thought at the very least.


@djones51,

It's an interesting article which unfortunately highlights the difficulties of preventing human beings from concocting whatever stories they seem to fancy.

It's particularly troubling to me that historical images can nowadays be so easily be manipulated that it can be difficult to gauge whether they have any real veracity. 

Or are they also just stories some people want to tell?
