DIY Schumann Generator

DIY Schumman generator is inspired by Acoustic Revive RR-77 reviewed by 6moons. Surprisingly, the components to make is simple, cheap and easy to obtain. The case that I using here is a gift from my colleague few years ago. It is used to be a cigarette box and it is made from solid wood.


First things first, put the feet on this box.

It is look better now.

I use single wire about 22 AWG for the antenna.

I double the wire and make a circle starting from the center just like the schematic you can find on the internet.

I using hot glue for attaching this wire until reach at the end. It is about total 12 turn.

All components for this project is all available on my bin including the very popular IC NE555.

Look how it's done. Very simple and beautiful.

I am using 9 volt battery before regulator 7805 then feeding the NE555 to produce the resonator. Normally this battery can withstand up to 3 days full ON until the LED indicator start to flashing telling you that the battery is low.

So how it is effect to the music? Firstly, I put this resonator in the center of my speakers with the same table and same height. It is about 1.2 meter high. In my observation, I guess it makes the background music more quieter & darker. It is can be my subjective feeling after all but the impact is noticeably with this Schumman resonator. Now I can enjoy more music album in a single listening session than before.

OPA1622 Vs. OPA627 High Performance Op-amps Comparison

This op-amps comparison topic is actually boring, but at the same time, many of us still curious about what others think about it. The reason is simply because of the op-amps variation are hundreds and they are depends by the implementation. The op-amps are considerably cheap and an interchangeable electronic components but they are not built for the same function. So in this discussion, I will focus on the modern Vs. vintage high performance op-amps in the simple non-inverting pre-amplifier gain stage.

Vintage Multibit R2R DAC Tier List

At the very beginning of this year, I committed to explore the best multi-bit R2R DAC. This is simply because I have plenty of the resources (from broken old unit CD player of course) and ability to build them up. If you think this kind a recycle from old un-used unit to become something useful, than I should stated myself giving contribute for greener world:) After all DAC that I built in this year, I think it is better for me to list them up again in one single page like this. Then I will rank them up in a simple tier list. The reason for this, so you all know what my opinion about of those vintage multibit R2R DAC especially in the sound quality.

TDA1543 DAC Review In 2021

It is a fine day and as usual I am reading and searching online contents related to almost anything I like. During my search, I stop to the few online forum discuss about a simple DAC using TDA1543 DAC IC. The discussion about this DAC was about 3 years ago, and the latest was about a year ago. Quite new and overall discussion about this DAC sound quality mostly are positive. It is interesting topic anyway especially I was built this TDA1543 DAC long time ago in 2016. At that time, I combine this DAC with Tripath amplifier  here  and  here  before it sold in 2019. That is also my first DIY DAC and I am quite enjoyed this DAC so much, at that time. The background story about this, previously I was using Sony Playstation SCPH-1002 as my reference CD Player. The reason I moved to this TDA1543 DAC is because the CD optic inside the Playstation is wear out and I cannot find the replacement for it. I pretty remember the sound quality of this TDA1543 DAC is quite comparable...
