| Schumann Resonator Placebo effect forget it! it is too easy to invoke that about ANYTHING someone dont want to experiment with or believe... Placebo effect is a real thing. Disqualifying it does one’s argument no good. maghister, you are taking this much too persona... | |
| Schumann Resonator My only other reservation about these devices is that usually a lot of power is required to produce SPLs at a low frequency. Think powered subwoofer that goes down to 20hz, 10-15 max. How do these little inexpensive devices achieve that? Cla... | |
| Schumann Resonator I’ll buy that with the reservation that these devices also surely are not sophisticated enough to generate controlled or specifically designed dither to achieve the desired effect. That generally would require digital processing, not analog. Wh... | |
| Schumann Resonator Hmm well if the design intent is to produce a certain frequency but device cannot do that cleanly , then one would hope the noise or distortion it introduces in addition were randomized.IS that what these devices claim or are we just speculating? ... | |
| Schumann Resonator Why are so many members obsessed with HOW it works? There is always a reason why things work the way they do. Magic may be reason enough for many but not all. Different strokes....Even more often, good marketing alone may be enough. Where would ... | |
| Schumann Resonator Maghister if the devices are introducing white noise or some other form of random noise, that is a totally different thing than the Schumann resonance that they are banking on. The two could certainly work in combo, but are still two different thi... | |
| Schumann Resonator Maghister thing is dithering typically means introduction of random patterns as a way to simulate greater detail.Schumann as I understand it is a resonance...not a random pattern.So the two would seem to be totally different.I developed digital im... | |
| Schumann Resonator If its the same frequency and not opposite phase then you could be supplementing it to some extent. Or similarly cancelling it to some extent if out of phase How much either way could vary widely depending on device and relative phase. A phase a... | |
| Schumann Resonator maghister read up on dither and you will see why that is totally different than Schumann resonance. There is nothing hateful about seeking facts and truths. Geofkait spent his entire career here obfuscating and obstructing. That was the game he li... | |
| Schumann Resonator Has nothing to do with dithering. Read up on dithering and you will see why. But it sounds good for a totally baseless explanation. Gk was kinda like the pied piper of audiogon. That auspicious title is now totally up for grabs. | |
| Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality? Tube preamp works great. Just make sure amp input impedance is 40-60kohm or higher for minimal distortion and best results. 200w/ch into 8ohm is good. 500 will only push things further. My setup with larger Ohms is Audio Research sp16 tube pre to ... | |

| What makes speaker's sound big? When talking about sounding big that usually translates to full extended bass. Powered subs are your friends there. Big = powerful and the bass is where most of the power in music occurs. It takes exponentially more power to deliver flat response ... |
