On the subject of Schumann Resonance.

I am not wishing to interpret another person's words nor put words into Clark Johnsen's mouth but I think what he might be meaning when he said "You guys are accumulating a burden of proof you'll never get out from under of" was that the more everyone rushes along a path trying this and that and that - at some point along the path they will have to pause and attempt to explain all that has happened - they will have to begin to explain just how the 'sound' has been changed.

I wish to make it absolutely clear from the beginning that I am in no way challenging the observations and descriptions of what people have 'heard'. I fully accept that what they have heard, they have heard !!! And, I am sure that if I have misinterpreted what Clark was meaning he will very quickly put me straight !!

But, someone, somewhere, at sometime has to start to try to explain how the 'sound' has been changed by what they have been doing. AND, it does not make any difference whether the sound got better or whether the sound got worse, if the sound changed at all, then there has to be an explanation.

Starting with the Acoustic Revive RR-77 device generating the Schumann Resonance of 7.83 Hz. For the people who have tried it and heard improvements in their sound, which explanation given by the manufacturer of the Acoustic Revive RR-77 device are you going to go along with, which are you going to accept as the explanation you are going to attempt to work with to try to get some sort of understanding ?

*********************

Descriptions by the manufacturer of the Acoustic Revive RR-77 device.

(1) For Audio equipments
By generating the Schumann Resonance, there is an effect that it neutralizes electromagnetic waves generated from an audio equipment and external harmful radio waves. So interference of electromagnetic waves and radio waves that exist among equipments is disappeared, it becomes possible to reproduce the music clearer, the S/N ratio is improved higher and the distortion is reduced.

(2) For Listening room
Also, by generating the Schumann Resonance, there is an effect that it neutralizes harmful standing waves. And it has the feature of improving the viscosity of the air in the listening room. Therefore, you can reproduce the excellent music, the sound is improved clearly audible, and the depth of the sound image is increased dramatically.

(3) For Listener
It is established medically that generating the Schumann resonance activates the cellular immunity. And it is said that the Schumann resonance produces the good relaxation effects, and the attentiveness is raised greatly. So you can hear the details of the sounds that could not be heard before.

********************

If you chose explanation (1) are they saying that the audio equipment generates electromagnetic waves, that these electromagnetic waves are adverse and that these electromagnetic waves interfere with and adversely affect the audio signal travelling through the audio equipment ? And that the RR-77 has such an effect on these electromagnetic waves so as to neutralise their adverse effect on the audio signal ? And that is the reason why the sound gets better when using the RR-77 ?

If you chose explanation (1) then how can generating a specific resonance of 7.83 Hz do what they suggest ? What is that specific resonance of 7.83 Hz actually affecting ?

If you go along with explanation (1) then surely the RR-77 will also be generating similar adverse electromagnetic waves ? How can it not be doing the same as the audio equipment ?

If you go along with explanation (1) then the concept of using a Shakti Stone fits in with the RR-77 generating it's own adverse electromagnetic waves because that, in turn, fits with the explanation given by the makers of the Shakti Stone. The makers of the Shakti Stone claim that there is an adverse electromagnetic field generated by the circuitry of audio equipment and which surrounds the audio equipment. That this electromagnetic field somehow doubles back on itself and adversely interferes with the very audio signal travelling through the equipment which generated the adverse field in the first place. That the Shakti Stone consists of passive circuitry which is only activated when in the vicinity of this stray electromagnetic field and, in turn, then generates a secondary electromagnetic field which prevents the first electromagnetic field doubling back and interfering with the audio signal.

So, if the Shakti Stone, when placed on top of or underneath (or both) the RR-77 gives an improvement in the sound, then is this what is happening ? That the Shatki Stone device is preventing an adverse electromagnetic field from the RR-77, doubling back on itself and adversely affecting the performance of the RR-77 so that the RR-77 can perform better in neutralising the effect of the electromagnetic waves affecting the audio signal travelling through the audio equipment ?

If you go along with the explanation (1) then how do you explain hotbird's description (below) of what happened when he did not have a Shakti Stone but used an AR RIQ-5010 quartz insulator instead. What was THAT doing to the RR-77 which, in turn, is then (according to explanation 1) supposed to be affecting the audio signal going through the audio equipment ?

Quote by hotbird.
>>> "RE: Don't have a Shaki Stone but can try an Acoustic Revive RIQ-5010.
>>> "Ok, took a clear AR RIQ-5010 quartz insulator and placed it on top of the RR-77, noted more vivid snare drum snaps, and more texture from a more reverberant bass guitars. Tried putting below too, but the thickness of the disc lifted up the RR-77 of its feet, still works about the same.
As I wanted to use the top of the RR-77 for "schumanning" CDs now, I preferred the tweaks to be below the RR-77 so that the top is free to place CD. Also as the RIQ-5010 was too thick to be at the bottom, so I took a piece of Acoustic Revive QR-8 quartz resonator which is thumbnail size and just placed it below the RR-77 on the shelf-floor not in contact with the RR-77. Worked about the same as the RIQ-5010. In addition, I also stuck one QR-8 resonator to each end of my long DIY DC cord where the jack insert is (like in the photo). Wow, more details, better clarity and texture to the sound now. So in the end, I used 3 QR-8 to upgrade the performance of the RR-77." <<<

If you go along with explanation (1) then, in addition, what does using a better power supply for the RR-77 do ? To what ? Does it allow the RR-77 to produce a BETTER 7.83 Hz resonance ? How can it do that ? Does it allow the RR-77 to produce a LESS adverse electromagnetic field around it ? How ?

If you go along with explanation (1) then how is the positioning (height) of the RR-77 in the listening room so significant for the 'sound' ? How can a specific height of the RR-77 possibly have an effect on what happens to the audio signal travelling through the audio equipment ?

If you wish to use explanation (1) then somehow or other you have to explain how, when, where and what affects the 'sound' !!!!!

You can see how 'satfrat' is struggling with his following quote:-
>>> " On Placing the Shakti Stone.
I'm not sure if the Stone is cleaning up the power supply or actually effecting the pulse generator...... what I'm hearing now. It's mind blowing,,,,, " <<<

Or, are you prepared to reject (1) as an explanation and concentrate on explanations (2) and (3) to try to find answers ?

May Belt.
