I've heard before about the nausea sensation when a "Schumann Resonance generator" was being used - in that instance it was one made by Kemp Electronics/Acoustics (or something of that order).
Looking for a consensus view, in all the review and forum commentary I've read about the Acoustic Revive Schumann devices I only know of two examples of end users experiencing illness as a result of using those products; Gary's and your report. From that, I'd say the consensus is the majority of users don't experience discomfort or illness.

That is true - there was quite a number of us, and I was one of two (quite a minority) that experienced discomfort. I felt it far worse than the other guy.

I am not a user but the mere suggestion of it causes me discomfort.

Hi I posted this in the tweaks section

http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showt...schumann-resonator-and-Stein-music-harmonizer

Demoed the acoustic revive schumann resonator at the Munich hifi show. They had two in the room, and kept switching them on and off. Every time they switched them off the soundstage collapsed and became flatter, the plucking of the guitar also didn't sound as good.

Also did a similar thing with the stein harmonizer, similar effect, but he had 6 in the room which he took out, and they are way more expensive. So the resonator is my preference.

Thanks for posting your feedback Bonzo. A/B/A testing is really the best litmus test about the efficacy of an audio tweak. Your feedback about the effects of the RR-777 are pretty much in line with the description of the effects on the Acoustic Revive site. You don't really need 2 though imho, feeding the RR-777 with a linear psu like a King Rex Mk2 psu roughly doubles the area covered by a single unit vs the standard wall wart.

All I know is, mine is staying!
