Never heard it, but I am using a Schumann Resonator device and,, to my ears, it works!

Holger Stein did a demo of his stuff to my analog fellowship more than a year ago in a well treated room full of diffusers & other treatment . He started the demo by demagnetising a CD on his demagnetiser & the effect is magical. He proceeded to experimemt with stein+ pad on the CD tray & ELCB of the distribution panel. You got to hear it to believe. Otherwise it would be mere snake oil to those who use logic to seek understanding of such phenomenon. Subsequently he added four harmonisers with various magic stones . To cut the story short , all four presence purchased the LP demagnetiser, stein pad+ and 2 of us purchased the harmonisers with magic stones etc. Mind you, 1 of my buddy has been into this hobby 20+ years , he has Ongaku, Gryphon Mephisto, Eggleston Ivy signature , Clearaudio statement & he certainly has good ears. He purchased 20-30 stein + pad.
So give it an audition before you proclaimed it to be voodoo magic . Let the ears be the judge not merely your opinions without listening simply because the products seems illogical to have produce such an effect.
Many years ago nobody believe power cord can make a difference after such long & not so good quality wiring from substation & who believe cones work ? Today it's a thriving biz for such products
By the way I do have the Schumann resonator & it works too

Parasitic quasi technology talismans. They are a psychologic phenomenon like placebos. Like placebos, the belief can be strong enough to make them "work." The audio cortex is fluid enough, accommodating enough, and suggestible enough. Combine that with the desire to squash those pesky gremlins and re-create the perfect audio rush every time, voila!
Data mine the consumer's wishful thinking, the desire for epiphany, wonder and vibrant re-creation, gloss some frosting of technology, bake until fully risen. Count money on high margin item.
High margin item creates its own necessities, rituals and markets and invokes economic power.
Industry and critics adopt talisman because money talks AND bullshit walks, at least in audio when it pays bucks. Talismans make exotic decorations to festoon setups and attain artisan, gem like construction, accessory audio abstract art.
They fill a need for fantasy fulfillment, novelty, re-discovery, freshness, fashion subscription etc. etc. and apparently a need for proselytizing and religious conversion. Burn all non-believers at the stake! Shun them and exclude them from the elite cognoscenti if they do not relent and pay! Membership card included.
One can't fight innate psychology, parasitic beliefs are a fact of life. Why not hop on the band wagon? There is no preventative medicine, and no common sense antidote. One man's curse is another man's cure.
I wouldn't stand between a tweak cultist and his tweaks any more than I would stand between an addict and his drug of choice.
Spend my valuable time and gas going to a "demo" because I clearly haven't eliminated the possibility that the tweak is "for real"? After all, I can't criticize what I haven't experienced with my own two ears.
I will remain blissfully unenlightened if becoming enlightened means wasting gas and time to be trapped in a room with a bright eyed sales person, eyebrows bobbing, polling me every few seconds to claim "Hear it? Isn't it wonderful", only the have the euphoric confederacy of spirit turn to spiteful intimidation if I don't humor them.
If I jumped at every assertion fallacy backed by economically based testimonials, I wouldn't have any time left to listen to music.
What exactly would making air more permissive do? If it made sound travel faster than normal would it not also change the cycles per second thus changing the the frequency response of all the frequencies? I don't think that's a good idea.
NO. Frequency is always the constant. Wavelengths and velocities change through different media, but the frequency stays the same.
If you hear a piano playing "middle C" on your patio, it is always 261 Hz whether you hear it in air or you are under water in your swimming pool. Only the velocity and wavelengths change.
It's the same thing with light. You see a RED (green, blue or yellow) light because of the frequency of the wave, NOT the wavelength. The wavelength changes with different media (air vs water) but red is red because of the frequency of the radiation.
I cannot help but wonder what affiliation iamtimbabb has with the company.
I can't believe a disinterested third party would take so much effort in promoting and defending the product on a forum if there wasn't a financial concern.
