Schumann Resonator

Day one -- Purchased two and had one on each side of the bed stand.  My wife and I both woke up with headaches, an no we were not hungover.  So they did nothing to help with sleep.  We will try a couple f more days. Then we will move to behind the speakers.  

Invalid----This is what I purchased.   Did I buy the wrong one?

My wife just said to me get those damn things out of our room.  I need a decent sleep.  A happy wife is a happy life so I am moving them to see if there is any sound improvement tomorrow.  

Having moved my two devices right behind my speakers I did do the A/B test with my spouse in the room.  For my small investment of $28 i figured why not try.  We listened to 4 artists to conduct this test:
Pat Metheny - Guitar Jazz
Mt Joy - Younger Days - Indie Rock
Alabama Shakes - Rock / Soul
Al DiMeola - Jazz Guitar Fusion

All songs were played at the same volume level.  We played them all the way through and then plugged in the Resonator and then went back and played back to back.

Now I need to place in a major caveat.  I am tweaked out already.  I have 18 Synergistic Research HFT's, Synergistic Orange Fuses and Outlets and a Inakustic 3500P PC.  I have Perfect Path Technologies, EMATS in my Electric panel, fuse box, under all of my electronics and I have pasted all my electrical plugs with PPT graphite.  In addition, my system with no turntable is well over $100k.  Please don't take this as bragging because it is not.  I just wanted to set the stage for my simple outcome, which led to a further discussion with my wife.  

Simply put, we struggled to hear any difference.  However, the one thing that we agreed on is that the sound stage may have been a little bit larger.  But it was so minute.

So will i leave them plugged in.  Why not.  It did not degrade the sound, but I can't say it really helped either.  

So the question I throw out if you bothered to read my lengthy comments is....is there a law of diminishing returns for these tweaks?  I already have a ton of tweaks already.  I hate to say this but the best tweak I have used in my system has been the upgraded SR orange fuses.  Does the quality of your components matter?  In other words, do you think this SR would work better for someone who had say a $5k system more than someone who has a $60+ system.  I wonder.  

I guess the only way to answer these questions is to take all of my tweaks out and start one by one putting them back in to see where the biggest improvement came from.  Unfortunately I am functionally blind so I have to rely on my hearing.  At this point I love my music and don't have the time nor desire to do that extensive testing.

So, the bottom line....for me the SR was not really impactful; however, everyone has a different system and for 10-20 bucks it is worth the experimentation.  

MC -- I don't know if my Viking Acoustic Grande Voix Dual Horn speakers are the reason.  I suppose I could try the SR's in my Theater Room where I have Tekton Double Impact In Wall speakers to see what the results are there.  

Mahgist -- I will look into your additional tweaks.

Sokogear - The early Pat Metheny was better than his later stuff.  He is such a great guitarist and great to listen to.  I also Love Michael Hedges RIP, Kaki King, Al DiMeola, Explosions in the Sky for guitar rock, John McLaughlin to name a few.  

Not all tweaks work in my system....my 21 SR HFTs were a waste of money.  The Schumann Resonator is now in the trash.  It did not help me sleep nor did it do anything for my music.
