Schumann Resonator Earlier in the thread I suggested optimism or confirmation bias accounted for the perceived benefits of homeopathy and resonators. I hope it is coincidence that you woke up with headaches. But FOR GOODNESS SAKE don’t put dodgy electronics under yo... | |

Change the muffler?Something else is wrong like, get a tone control, and don’t compare analog to digital, ya can’t. One you will like, and one is better, not the same thi... | |
