This will make your head spin... Synergistic Research Atmosphere

Quoted from Wikipedia:
Electromagnetic waves in the ELF and SLF frequency ranges (3–300 Hz) can penetrate seawater to depths of hundreds of meters, allowing communication with submarines at their operating depths. Building an ELF transmitter is a formidable challenge, as they have to work at incredibly long wavelengths: The US Navy's system, Seafarer, which was a variant of a larger system proposed under the codename Project Sanguine,[1] operated at 76 hertz,[2] the Soviet/Russian system (called ZEVS) at 82 hertz.[3] The latter corresponds to a wavelength of 3,658.5 kilometers. That is more than a quarter of the Earth's diameter. Obviously, the usual half-wavelength dipole antenna cannot be feasibly constructed.
I really don't think that has anything to do with it. If I had small monitors, I would be just as skeptical about these tweaks.
Micro, you should really try to hear for yourself what properly set up acoustic resonators can do, and by this I am not necessarily referring to the SR ART/HFT, since I have also heard great results in a dealer's room treated with the Franck Tchang's variety and other people have reported very positive results using Stillpoints Aperture panels (which incorporate resonators). It has nothing to do with the size of the room or of the speakers.
But of course, resonators in turn have nothing to do with the Atmosphere.
I have two 2W x 7H x 1.5D feet bass resonators in my room. Anyone really notices their effect, but it is not possible to carry blind tests.
Long ago I played with the Harmonix tuning dots - we could easily hear them on some speakers, but did not have any effect on others.I have two 2W x 7H x 1.5D feet bass resonators in my room. Anyone really notices their effect, but it is not possible to carry blind tests.
Of course, any sort of acoustic treatment has to be optimized for the specific room/system. That's why I said "properly set acoustic resonators". No argument there.
I doubt that your friend's toy had much to do with Schumann resonances. It would take a big power consuming machine to generate much EMF (ElectroMagnetic Field). The Schumann resonances harmonics are right at power line frequencies. Why would anyone want that. Others try to reduce the power line created field.
There is a dealer not far away. The Cable Company represents Synergistic and has several showrooms in New Hope Pa.. Synergistic offers money back guarantees, Joe. Just order one and try it yourself in the comfort of your own home and with a system you know.
For that kind of cash Peter, I think I will pass. That kind of money can be much better spent going to live concerts, like the 6 I will be seeing in the next 3 weeks, here in Philly with my son singing in the choir with the Philly Pops, NYC and abroad. Much better use of my money.
Can you modify this unit to let weed smoke into the room? Or does it do it out of the box? Does it also have a laughing mode? (Sorry, I could not resist)
Great idea. I hope it happens.
Of course, those who hear a difference, assuming the device is, in fact, impacting the sound in an audible manner, will be called crazy, insane, delusional, possessed by aliens, high on drugs, etc.
A lot of people I personally know who have seen positive results with the Shun Mook diamond resonators will not report them on forums because they will be ridiculed.
That is true for all hifi. I recently sold off my speakers, pre and power, and while I am waiting to buy new ones, I have realized the benefit of being in Central London and averaging almost one concert a week at the Barbican, Wigmore Hall, and other great venues. 5 - 10 years of this and the amount spent might be for my dream speakers, used. So not sure how your point differentiates between Speakers and Atmosphere
I suspect that the vast majority of members posting here already have more than just a decent system (now that's an understatement on this forum), so the idea of wanting to consider the types of devices mentioned in the OP and others, seems like an exercise in absurdity. Call me a sceptic, uninformed, a luddite, I don't really care, but do they really have a place for serious review?
As it should be. It's called "free speech" and as long as it falls within the "rules of etiquette", you may eventually
accept the fact that you are not the arbiter of truth and the person who decides what gets posted and what does not. Fortunately. Many people in WBF have excellent systems and have been supporting great threads at this forum around their experiences with such tweaks. IMHO much better than those who do not contribute with anything positive and real experiences, and whose major quality is being an audio skeptic. Surely YMMV.
