Only you can determine if they work or not. I have great respect for Ron's products in general.
If you want to dismiss without trying in your system, you are again guilty of an opinion without basis.

i heard a fairly clear difference thru my laptop speakers on and off; hard to say that the difference is positive thru these laptop speakers but based on the feedback it likely is.
Ted's stuff does seem to work based on observing his demo's over the years......but I've never had sufficient interest to try them. I suppose I feel (possibly self-delusionarily) that in my system, which excels at space and note decay, his (tweak) products don't answer a question I'm asking. and unless you live with something like that for awhile hard to know whether there are tradeoffs.
I've always been one not to care at all why something works, the 'why' seems to many times get in the way of open ears and minds.
I hope Ted keeps at it.
btw; I've tried those Schumann resonators in my system a couple of times with different versions, and even two of them. I never heard any effect.

Hello thedudeabides
You really think so?? There is no explanation of how this works. Also if he was going for a real A vs B why didn't he just switch it in and out without stopping the record?? If it's not connected in any way there is no reason you couldn't switch in real time with the music playing. I didn't hear any change through my computer speakers.
As far as opinions with no basis well I don't need to listen to a 3" speaker with claims it fills your room with 30hz. There are many claims in audio which should be met with a healthy dose of skepticism.

The Schumann Resonance is nothing more than the 9 million daily lightning strikes from thunderstorms echoing around the globe.
I never noticed any improvement in audio quality from an approaching thunderstorm just a few hours away, so why would lightning a some thousands of miles away be any better?
Nothing magic in 8Hz. if the globe's circumference was different the resonant frequency would be different.

It was doing a lot, but your expectation bias does not let you hear it. The tuba on Mussorgsky's Pictures at an exhibition was so much better, so were Cecilia Bartoli's vocals, and I didn't continue because you didn't seem interested. The fact is, Keith, if someone brought something over to my place, I would put my audition track and play it as I am interested in hearing if it works. On the other hand, you are not, and dismiss these things before, during, and after. SR tweaks are superb.
In the video, I worry about people who try to audition (or make videos) in such poor listning conditions.
..but then doesn't your expectation bias let you hear it? Just sayin'..

Could be, except for the fact that they have been with me for a year instead of 5 minutes in various permutations and combos, and everyone who hears something in Stillpoints or Symposium rollerblocks etc, when they hear them seems to hear them as well. Keith has a nocebo, he doesn't hear differences due to any of them, or cables, or dacs, etc. He is a firm believer in speaker and room treatment with traps or room correction, and will dismiss a lot of such tweaks at foo anyway. Nothing wrong with that, so if you relate to that you can dismiss it to, or you can try it out
We buy devices to eliminate RF, now there is a device put RF into the room..... I won't venture an opinion on the efficacy of this product unless I hear it in my own system. That said, I have tried some of SR's products in my own system. I have heard a difference with all I have tried, some I like, some worked in a way I didn't care for in my room, in my system YMMV
I don't buy from dealers such stuff. I listen, compare in different settings, and then search on used sites. why would I pay a dealer for a product that requires no customisation? Now, if I was to buy a Datasat RS20i with Auro 3d and Dirac, I would
I have heard of Illusonic, Kal rubinson reviewed it in his Multichannel section, http://www.stereophile.com/content/music-round-64
Never a good thing when it comes to things audiophile, if it not expensive then .. it can't be any good.
SRT is quietly going the Machina Dynamica way. Many will swear their products make a night and day difference... Then the excitation will subside, reality will sink in and these products will land in a dustbin ...
If you cant hear the difference , well then your system probably aint good , cant have that obviously 
Not true; you just need to be more open-minded. Some can hear the difference from the youtube stream using their laptop speakers. That's the kind open-mindedness Ted is looking for.
I once did a demo with Ted at RMAF a few years ago. He was demoing different colored usb connectors for an external hard drive on a computer setup. I was the only one in the room that said it sounded the same either way.
OTOH, I don't concern myself with how others spend their money.
Those thinking of this Atmosphere for a purchase might be interested in this thread on another SR product. The HOT device for headphone use.
http://www.head-fi.org/t/741043/some-hot-science-from-synergistic-research
Particularly post #24 where the device is dissembled with photos. And post #353 where the mystery substance is analyzed.
To prevent the suspense or needing to read all of the posts, in summary it appears the HOT device has three silver wires that go straight thru. There is a bit of foil and some granular material in a sticky binder compound. The granular material is basically silicon dioxide (as is sand) in a conductive paste according to some analysis. There are plans to do a good electrical measurement of the device as well though everything points to the likelihood the device actually does nothing to the signal.

No, it definitely isn't. Air is a gas, or mixture of gasses. It is compressible. Liquids are incompressible, it doesn't matter how much pressure you apply. Air is a gas. It doesn't behave anything like a liquid, although it is amorphous. A gas expands to occupy any container, a liquid does not.
