Schumann Resonator


I got 2 of these from Amazon...careful that free returns are applicable.  I charged them up, turned them on and holy moly.....they do help with my system.   What I hear is clarity....space between instruments, a definite difference in upright and electric bass, wider soundstage...you know...all the good stuff. At first I thought it might be increased brightness, but no....it is still the same in that regard.  I still can't believe it, and will listen again tomorrow (saved the packaging for the return)...but today, I'm about to keep them.

Wondering why anyone would try to produce a square wave instead of a sine wave. Makes no sense to me. Perhaps someone more learned can chime in.
"Since I don't know how to save a thread, I'll use this as a place holder for later."
That's how you save a thread.
Tell us why you believe the Schumann Resonance is different or special from the other  massive amounts of naturally occurring electromagnetic fields, many of them orders of magnitude stronger.
Whomever finds it difficult to understand mahgister certainly does not speak for all.
I have no difficulty understanding him.

Please, no apology warranted or necessary. This came about because of my nitpicking, not through any fault of yours. 
Serious question for anyone-

If it's the Earth’s natural frequency, then that frequency is already in the room. Why would you need to generate it?
If lightning is a plasma, I wonder what having one of those 'lightning globe' plasma generators would induce if put in a room. 
"Schumann Resonances aren’t "special". It’s just like any other electromagnetic field that must be controlled and manipulated in electronics."
Please clarify your statement. It is overwhelmingly agreed and an incontrovertible fact that electromagnetic interference is detrimental to electronics- in our case stereo equipment- which is purposely shielded against emi. How is introducing even more emi via an SG controlling and manipulating anything? What exactly is being controlled and manipulated? If this particular electromagnetic wave is in fact enhancing the sound, it is indeed very special.
"I love my wife but how do you measure love? How do you know it’s there?"
Love as an emotion cannot be scientifically quantified.
A machine that creates a specific resonance can.

"The amount of knowledge we have about the universe is 0.0000....%"

You are confusing the word ’we’ with the word ’I’.


"I don’t understand the source of gravity but I know it’s there."

The source of gravity is literally any and everything that has mass.
An extra large cold mate' for all your work and dedication to better sound, my friend!

A very important point to be aware of is that this resonated radio from lightning is a vanishingly small component of the electromagnetic spectrum to which we're all naturally exposed. The overwhelming source is the sun, blasting the Earth with infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet radiation. All natural sources from outer space, and even radioactive decay of naturally occuring elements on Earth, produce wide-spectrum radio noise. Those resonating in the Schumann cavity are only a tiny, tiny part of the spectrum.

Nevertheless, because the Schumann resonance frequencies are defined by the dimensions of the Earth, many New Age proponents and alternative medicine advocates have come to regard 7.83 Hz as some sort of Mother Earth frequency, asserting the belief that it's related to life on Earth, despite its being so tiny and lost among all the other, stronger parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Often we find that New Age beliefs are often based more on what seems emotionally satisfying than on sound science.

The most pervasive of all the popular fictions surrounding the Schumann resonance is that it is correlated with the health of the human body. There are a huge number of products and services sold to enhance health or mood, citing the Schumann resonance as the foundational science. Before looking at some of these claims in detail, it's noteworthy that neither Schumann resonances, electromagnetic radiation, or the Earth's ionosphere are mentioned in any medical or anatomical textbooks. There is no detectable or theoretically predicted relationship between either ELF radio or the number 7.83 and the health of human body.

I truly have no opinion either way as to its efficacy as an auditory enhancer since I have not tried it. But this is a compelling perspective.
Open question for those 'who care' why these generators work in your system-

Do you believe it is affecting the electronics, the air in the room, you physically, or a combination there of?
I believe a single sentence can sum up mahgister:
Our mahgister has a very kind soul.

Sorry, I have limited experience with androids

"The amount of knowledge we have about the universe is 0.0000....%"
You are confusing the word ’we’ with the word ’I’.
So if I say, "We are humans" for you I should use "I"?

"I don’t understand the source of gravity but I know it’s there."
The source of gravity is literally any and everything that has mass.
This has that is not the same as how or why
kennyc,
You made the analogy between the emotion of love and a Schumann Resonator.
I pointed out this is a false equivelancy. I have no idea why you are now alluding to androids.

Your statement that "we" have 0.0000% knowledge about the Universe is incorrect. ’We’ as in humans have a much greater understanding of the Universe percentage wise. If you personally do not, then "I" would be correct.
And again, no idea why you would call a single human "we".

You clearly stated you did not understand the source of gravity.
I gave you the answer.
I’m quite aware that is not the same as how or why there is gravity.
No idea why you felt the need to state that fact.
During the middle of one song (I had my eyes closed) ,Chuck took the cables off the Cable Elevators; I immediately heard the sound become distorted and muddy.
So, with all the time and money you’ve spent, with all your decades of accumulating audio knowledge, with all your testing, tweaking and experimenting, with all your careful equipment choices of amplification, source, conditioning, cabling, room treatment, Moabs, etc....
Unless you lift your speaker cables off the floor, your system sounds (quote) "distorted and muddy"??!
Wow. And you dispense advice like you know what you’re talking about...
Hardly a flattering endorsement of your audio prowess, the synergy of your equipment, and your Moabs.
Just think of all the time, money, and energy he would have saved if he thought of doing that first...
Didn’t mean for you to get all angry and pouty, miller.
Thought it might have helped you come to terms with why your stereo sounds so lousy without cable elevators.

Nine pages of the same thing being said over and over.
It's like a train with square wheels.
So, to recap:

Without you running several Schumann Resonators, your Moabs sound flat and grainy.
And without you lifting your speaker cables from the floor, your Moabs sound distorted and muddy.
Good to know. Do you think it is a problem with your speakers, your associated equipment, Your cables, your tweaks, or your audio knowledge?
Something is certainly amiss. Flat, grainy, distorted, muddy. Perhaps a different hobby?
