Schumann Resonator

For me it was easy math. Too many folks have reported audible musical and/or sleep enhancements to discount them all as quacks. I ignore most of the more idiotic tweaks and snake oil products sold in the audio domain. And most of those are a bit more than $10 each, so I'll take my chances on the SR units.

And if I don't hear an improvement (even after weeks) the tweak is gone. No pixie dust to change my brain and perception. I like blind and double-blind testing at times, which scares the crap out of the guys who cannot readily identify changes if they don't know the gear being used (funny).    But I also do a lot of long term testing on any changes, days or weeks at a time; I think that 'living with' testing has a place.

With the obscene amount of money spent on connecting wires/cables I have no qualms dropping a few bucks on a tweak that may well offer audibly discernible improvements.    As for those who have never heard one, for good or bad; they really have no useful input for this discussion as I see it.

millercarbon-   Thank you for going through your observations upon acquiring the initial units and the following ones. Had I decided to invest a lot more money I'd have read a lot more literature first, but $15/45....
I don't get headaches so expect that I'd notice anything going on up there (although some claim very little activity normally..  ;-)   I will keep an eye on our two cats and my wife and will probably put the units into use with only myself being aware, and give it some time. I will most assuredly post on what 'we' find whether it is positive or negative or nothing at all.

 And if I don't hear an improvement (even after weeks) the tweak is gone.

You got me beat on patience. If I don't hear a difference immediately it is gone. Whatever it is. Whatever it cost.  

Musicaddict, you underestimate the gullibility and overestimate the analytic quality of human's in general. Schumann resonators are the worst kind of snake oil. If you plug it in it must work right? If you read it in the newspaper it must be true? It would be much more accurate to assume the opposite.

Some like usual see anything save in the black and white color qualifications they project onto the world...

To hear a difference sometimes ask for specific conditions about the gear noise floor and the room acoustical settings...Is it not simple to understand?

Dont throw the S.G. but look at improving the mechanical and electrical and acoustical working dimensions of your system and room first... S.G. CANNOT be the first thing to use for improving your system....I said it many times...

Hundreds of people all across the world and through a few decades vouch for an audible positive impact on their audio experience with S.G. some vouch they hear nothing...

The best explanation about this discrepencies in perception is what i just said, difference in gear, difference in embeddings controls, the best explanation cannot be a stupid and hysterical accusation of hallucination or of collective placebos effect first and last against a very great number of peoples...

Placebo effect exist, but working embeddings dimensions controls and their noise floor exist also and are more important factors in audio experience than the placebo concept some hysterical doctor see everywhere, even if it is not the MAIN factor at all playing in the audio field...
