I’m going to help you guys out. For an electromagnetic wave of 75 Hz about 20 miles of antenna is required.
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?
My vote: Furutech Outlet Cover 105 NCF $220, with “special crystalline material that has two “active” properties.” https://www.thecableco.com/outlet-cover-105-ncf.html

jetter I know the answer but can’t remember it. Is this pop quiz scaled? >>>>I trust you, jitter. As long as you know it. You win! 🙄 |
mahgister The schumann generator emit an acoustic wave, then the generator transform the electro magnetic wave of 7 .8 hertz in acoustic wave correspondant signal ? is it correct? For the antenna: the speed of light divide by the frequency of the schumann wave will give the length of the correspondant antenna modulo some fraction to obtain a small antenna... Is this make sense? >>>>Let me think about it for a couple of days and I’ll get back to you. 🤗 |
elizabeth Remember that giant antenna they to built in Wisconsin. for LOW 76 Hz freq to contact ships on the ocean? ELF? Ahhh what wavelength? half the Earths diameter...? >>>>That’s very good! Of course, if you don’t mind my saying so, I just gave you the answer two posts ago. 😛 |
I cannot post photo here alas! But I put a link... Just a word saying that I have added 1 very small tourmaline stone like 1 gram maximum to a little shungite and Herkimer to the center of the schumann resonator... That make a big difference in the rendering of a more natural musical timbre ... These stones glued together are linked by a thin copper cable to the grid stones of my audio system and changing one is like changing the tube in an amplifier...Then there is at first sight tweaks that seems ridiculous but are efficient in a way that undermines many upgrading buying gear... a link to it : http://i68.tinypic.com/t6auk1.jpg The black stone at the basis is a piece of shungite, the transparent crystal is an Herkimer diamond and next to it a very small red tourmaline chunk... The addition of the tourmaline push that to a more higher level...The tweaked schumann resonator with stones is amazing upgrade...cost are very low... |
Geoff I improve another times and on another level the schumann generator, first improvement is with 3 stones, second improvement connected with a thin copper cable to my stones grid these 3 stones on the center spot of the S.G. Third improvement, and not the least, I glued a copper antenna (3 inches) on top of the 3 stones, the gain in clarity is amazing....I am totally flabbergast by the S. G. and these 3 upgrade I have improvised... Your quizz about antenna and wavelength inspire me... thanks Geoffkait. |

wow! thanks...But what is the exact answer,for the benefit of all? And what is flying saucers for Windows by the way ? Ok I got it, I had 2 windows in my audio room, I will try that thanks... This antenna on the top center spot of the schumann generator antenna and perpendicular to it (3 inches) give to me a completely new sound with an unknown clarity (probably by increasing the power emission of the S.G. ) ...I had listen to music I perfectly know of(favorite files) and does not hear that before at all...My system is already heavily tweaked and it was not known to me at all that it was lacking so much....But the connected stones makes a difference after a try with the S.G. nude, and the antenna Gosh! it was like a new sound system TOTL I had bought, except the cost is almost nothing...My best to you Geoff for your idea about antenna and suggestion... |
elizabeth Reminds me of certain foils and logos.... Oh, you mean the ones that are on Stereophile’s Recommended Components List? The ones you can get free samples of? 🤗 The ones that make skeptic dudes and dudettes cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs? 🤪 |
The answer may shock you. RF enters the house via windows. Thus, windows are the first line of defense against the sea of RF. And RF has no difficulty travel through a solid wood door. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or by opposing end them. The second line of defense is Flying Saucers for unused wall outlets in the house. All circuits are connected so any noise on one circuit in the house will migrate to guess where? |

Obviously, since the electrical signal in cables is subject to distortion from vibration and electric static fields all cables and power cords would benefit from being suspended from the ceiling using eye 👁 hooks and fishing line. 🐟 The fishing line acts as an isolator in case you’re worried about vibrations coming down from the ceiling. |
If anyone is unconvinced that a fishing line is an isolator feel free to attach a rubber band to one end of the fishing line. Voila! If you’re still an unconvinced fuddy duddy, use bungee cords. 🤗 LIGO employs sapphire threads for isolation so there ain’t nothin wrong with using thread or fishing line for isolation. It’s a beginner mistake to think otherwise. Thread or line cannot physically support low frequency vibration. You don’t want to break any laws of science, do you? |
Isolation 101, not for the squeamish... LIGO uses glass threads to isolate the mirrors. 🤭 See LIGO video, https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/LA/video/ligo20170216v |
In the link above, as removed from pertinence about audio reproduction as it is, there are two moments that emphasize limits of isolation. At around 2:45, word "relatively" and at around 6:45 "bonding them" ("connecting them", one could say). In fact, there is much more later in the video, but those two are enough for aspiring novices. |
