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.

I do.

There is no scientific explanation that connects the dots. So its a leap of faith.

Rationalizations produce theories that may or may not be true.

@mapman The Fourier series theory stands behind all of electromagnetism.
The em wave emitted eventually by way of speaker transducer, becomes a sound wave. The cart before the horse scenario. The reason the Schumann frequency affects you, and all human physiology is because the frequency induces a calming, relaxed, yet alert and focused influence.
It is a theta frequency (7-12 Hz).
The idea has nothing to do with sound.
IT has everything to do with the manipulation of e signals that become sound waves.
That’s what amps and speakers do.
There is no rational explanation out there that connects the dots.
Again: square wave, Fourier harmonic series, and resonance. All supported by laws of physics, which includes the science of sound. Get it?
It is right on the spot and clear like water...

I forget about that but ,yes, the frequency of the theta brain wave resonate with the S.G.

It makes absolute sense....

I proposed a simple experiment:

Put a piece of shungite on the S.G. and an herkimer diamond and the sound will be improved and more balanced.... then the S.G. act also with the audio signals .....

Thanks... It is my experience.... I think the resonance concept make sense and more on the spot than the "dither" one i was thinking about....

Thanks and my deepest regards ....

This is not about faith. It is simple and logical.

theaudiotweak:

Just found a 2009 study done in Japan, but no follow up.

Looks like there is a >30% chance that it will lower my BP approx. 10%, and only a 3% chance that it will increase (my) BP (60% chance that it will have Zero effect).

I need one that is rechargeable (only USB charger source here is the iMac), so worth a try for $25, or so.

Not keen on exposing my wife to it so probably won't try it in the living/listening room unless she's in one of the bedrooms for an extended period of time.
