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.

Signal Path Capacitor Comparison - Elna Cerafine Vs. Silmic II

I you following the discussion online, there are many endless debate about sound quality improvement from one capacitors to another. Some of them did a comparison between certain branded capacitors, which in my opinion, the result are very subjective. To make this comparison more crowded, so in this post will I adding another capacitor comparison.  Previously I did a capacitor upgrade on the Pioneer KEH-P9750 head unit using Elna Silmic capacitor for the signal path only. I will take this opportunity to compare between the Elna Silmic II and the Elna Cerafine. Both capacitor are produced by the same company. I believe the result would be more objective.
