I was trying to follow the woo of the Schumann Resonance generators and learned a bit about ELF and what it takes to transmit it, eventually got to this, http://montalk.net/conspiracy/55/how-to-block-microwave-mind-programming-signals Then I got sad and gave up.

KozmoNaut posted:Supposedly it's an electronic pulse, not a sound wave. Gary Koh, on another forum posted:Some people hear nothing, others have reported great improvements. I once walked into a room and while the music was playing, the dealer turned it off. I felt sick to the stomach momentarily, but once I regained my equilibrium, I didn't hear any difference and told the dealer so. Whereupon the dealer turned it back on and I felt sick again. When he asked me if I now heard the difference I told him "yes" so that he wouldn't turn it off again and make me sick. Gary Koh is the CEO of Genesis Advanced Technologies. I'm curious to know what the thing actually emits. It wouldn't surprise me if it was just a subsonic sound generator.

Isn't the infamous "brown note" supposedly around 7Hz?

Sub-20hz tones can affect the middle ear if played loud enough, and that can cause nausea for some people.

True but that thing is so loving tiny there's no way it's capable of outputting frequencies that low. It's a little box with an LED on it, pure audiophile grade toss that doesn't do anything. None of the poo poo on that market does.

It's hypersonic speakers creating interferences with sub-20 Hz frequencies.

Jerry Cotton posted:Where the gently caress do you buy your components and PCBs? At "Ripoffs 'R' Us", the well-known electronics retailer. (Actually, I steal everything from my dad's parts drawers, he buys in large quantities) But seriously, there's the plastic case, on/off button, a handful of resistors and (probably audiophile-grade) capacitors and so on. Add in the cost to produce a PCB on a low-scale production run and I could easily see it adding up to $10 or maybe $20.

Well if you have like 10 PCBs made at a time I guess it'll cost 10 dollars and the box might be two dollars but unless you literally go to a brick & mortar store and buy the components one at a time their cost will be negligible.

How many do you think he makes of these at a time? It can't be more than a couple, if he even makes them ahead of time.

When I built my first kit (not audio related) I noticed it was only marginally more expensive (total) to order 100 of a component from an Eastern European retailer than to buy 10 of it from the local electronics shop. Of course if he only makes 10 I guess that doesn't matter

Creates some sort of EM field, or whatever that big PCB antenna is good for.

Edit: That antenna isn't nearly long enough to generate a 7.83Hz wave. Some back-of-the-napkin math is giving me a wavelength of ~38,000 KM. Double Edit: I reported them to the FCC.

The picture isn't high res enough, but guessing from the few components, it's probably a two pole lowpass filter that feeds an opamp that does something magical with the antenna. I really want that dude justify these electronics. Also, what's that dumbass glue pattern on the inside of the bottom lid, anyway?

Given that 95%+ of audiophile arguments fall in to the category of "I spent more money so I like it more" I doubt anyone seriously considering purchasing that thing care.

The need for double blind tests prove that people perceive audio as sounding better when they expect it to. What we've done is con ourselves out of that extra joy. Everyone should come up with a magic ritual to do before they listen to music so that it sounds better. I'm gonna start by making a cup of coffee and sitting in my comfy chair before listening, that should do it.

Everything sounds much better when you're tipsy.
