Cost effective Schumann Resonator


After reading about the Acoustic Revive unit, I was looking on Ebay and found a Schumann Resonator for $175 (plus $20 for a very nice plexiglass case). It's model designation is Chartres Mk.2. It is made by a fellow named David in Indonesia. He was a pleasure to deal with, start to finish. The unit arrived in about 10 days. The fit and finish was reassuring. It is a circuit board with good quality components mounted between two sheets of well cut and finished plexiglass.
I have read, and failed to understand a lot that has been written about Schumann resonators, but I am willing to. Suspend disbelief and try a tweak that a lot of folks say works. My initial reaction on hooking up the resonator was disbelief. Sound stage and localization were noticeably better. I had to disconnect and reconnect the unit several times to convince myself that I wasn't fooling myself. Mechanism of action be hanged, it made a very positive difference in my system. This finding was confirmed my moving it to a second system where, again, spatial information seemed much improved.
I am very happy with this purchase. Results rule!

I use a USB wall wart and six-foot long USB cable so that the device can be suspended more than 1m50cm off the floor. Better safe than sorry.
You pays your money and you takes your chances. I think the BLACK USB little finger size SR from Hong Kong is a good deal. 
Yes, that’s correct, I’m from the future. But sadly it’s not everyone’s future. It’s only my future, just like my past. Fortunately, my iPad forwards messages to me in the future. I have a special app. By the way, the future is not that great. There are no more audio forums. They were unable to control the cable debates which got really crazy. So now I have to come back here for all the jokes. The other weird thing, in the future everything is McDonalds. They now have a Trillion Trillion Big Macs sold. 🍔
Maybe you need to get one or two of the very accurate BLACK USB Schumann device from Hong Kong. Hmmmmmm....🤔
So, are you using two shungite plates for the USB devices yet? Squeeze those photons!! Squeeze ‘em real good!
Did he have the idea of two (2) shungite plates - of squeezing the photons?? 😬 😬
OK, here’s the latest trick for anyone with USB Schumann frequency generators. Rather than sticking one thin shungite plate to the side of the little finger size device, I stuck one shungite plate an BOTH sides of the device - each plate having one of my Flying Saucers for Windows copper foils on the outside. I have two USB Schumann devices, both of which are mechanically isolated with elastic suspensions with resonant frequency circa 1 Hz. The idea behind the shungite sandwich is borrowed from my Super Intelligent Chip, where the Schumann waves are partially confined; the photon streams are squeezed by the shungite sandwich. More intense sonically.
It’s called schooling, not trolling, silly goose. Knowledge is what’s left after you subtract all that stuff from school you forgot a long time ago.
It's really the same sort of problem as for the electromagnetic wave Schumann generators that I alluded to earlier. Since the EM wave of 7.8Hz requires an antenna that’s 25,000 long how do they get the darn thing into that little box? 😬 By the same token, how can they get a 7.8Hz acoustic wave into the room - even with computer speakers that have a low end of what, 70Hz or something? Answer at 11.

Addendum: I was telling someone this morning about the Schumann frequency and the CD with the Schumann frequency on it. When I informed him he couldn’t hear 7.8Hz he asked, "why would I want to listen to it if I can’t hear it?" Which is, actually, a perfectly reasonable and valid question. 🙄

Another inexpensive alternative, and one which I've explored, is the Schumann Frequency CD, available from any number of Internet stores. Of course the Schumann Frequency is not an electromagnetic wave but an acoustic wave. The trick is to get the 7.8 Hz frequency out into the room using ordinary speakers, if you see what I mean. 

Innocent questions: (1) Since the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave at the Schumann frequency of 7.8 Hz is equal to the circumference of the Earth 🌎 how can they fit a 25,000 mile long antenna into that little box? And (2) how can the Schumann frequency wave even fit into the room?

The Schumann frequency of 7.83 Hz is actually a natural electromagnetic resonance in the ionosphere produced by lighting storms and solar radiation. The Schumann frequency is very close to the alpha wave frequency used for relaxation and meditation. It should be pointed out that since EMI/RFI frequencies are very high, in the GHz range, the Schumann frequency, being very low, would not interfere with them, I.e., block, absorb, etc.
The recommended height is around five feet off the floor and between the speakers. If the unit is tunable you might want to try to find the sweet spot. I have often wondered how the 25,000 mile long Schumann wave fits in the room. :-)
So, that's how it works, it relaxes you? Not the RFI/EMI thing that Acoustic Revive used to explain? Have they updated their explanation too?
They sell a Schumann frequency CD all over the Internet probably Amazon, too, that will produce a 7.83 Hz acoustic tone in the room through any speakers, even bookshelf speakers. Of course the Acoustic Revive device and other similar units produce an electromagnetic wave. An electromagnetic wave, not to be confused with RFI or EMI or even a shield against RFI or EMI. An electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of 26,000 miles. We can get into how such a long wavelength wave fits into the room later. Lol
Question for users: why do you think location, especially height is important when placing the Schumann device? It just seems odd, I'm not doubting it. You know, what with the wavelength of the Schumann wave being so long and all, 26,000 miles long.
