The Harmonizer

[HK Panda]

Has anyone heard or tried this product? It looks interesting. There is also a Youtube interview with the designer. Breakthrough or snake oil?

Breakthrough or snake oil?

Snake oil. (If you have to ask...)

I'm not so sure it's snake oil. I was rather looking for those that might have tried the system. PF does have a rather enthusiastic review of the setup.

This absolutely the biggest crock of $#!t I have seen in a long time.

This is snake oil to the tenth power.

 

[HK Panda]

I don't have first hand experience with the product to say it works or not, but may I ask what do you base your opinion on ?

This absolutely the biggest crock of $#!t I have seen in a long time.

Is there any information on how it works?

 

[audioarcher]

It looks like bs to me. Even if it does something to the sound in your room it seems way overpriced for a vibrator. The review says the device vibrates and makes the air more permissive to sound waves. Does it make girls more permissive too?

There is this video, but not sure it adequately describes how it works. I'll keep looking...

A lengthy pdf on the product. I have yet to read it myself, just found it now.

It seems PF has done several reviews of the product. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue62/stein_harmonizers.htm

Is there any information on how it works?

I prefer my air molecules crumpled, not stretched, and shaken, not stirred.

My hunch is its a common air ionizer and the stones are, well, stones. Air ionizers can create a pretty zippy mental effect due the negative ions in the air.

From the PF review .. hope that I am not breaking any laws

Enter German physicist, engineer, and audiophile Holger Stein. He discovers that air vibrates at certain frequencies and, in the presence of those vibrations, becomes more compliant. If air is more compliant, then sound waves have an easier path to your ears.

If someone doesn't start running away from such after this introduction . he/she deserves to be parted with his/her money ...

There's a Sam Tellig review in one of the Stereophile issues on the Harmonizers ... same profound reactions !

Wrong vibrator.
