Out of site & out of mind hidden on a ledge some 2m high up, powered on 24x7, it is something you forget about....well until you turn it off.

Watching SAT CATV with the surround processor primed, three McIntosh MC2301s pumping the fronts & the Denton POA-A1 pushing the surrounds, what has disappeared when it's blue light fades away after flicking off the KingRex power switch during a typical evening of relaxed viewing?

The room sounds a little dryer & flatter, less holographic, the high frequency decays are shorter & less transient. The subtle undertones in the lowest frequencies that accompany the mids are diminished. What could explain this? Perhaps the room pressure has dropped with the loss of its constantly coherent 7.83Hz conveyancing drone of silence...

Acoustic Revive tweaks boarder on the esoteric but one thing is for certain, the RR-777 really works even with silence. That might sound like a bizarre contradiction but inexplicably everyone prefers to congregate in the room even when the system is off. It's still a good vibe.
Steve, thanks for taking the time to provide an update on your experiences with the RR-777/King Rex Mk2 psu combo. I have the same combo purched about 1.9 meters off the ground also, though I have yet to do an a-b test with the resonator on/off...I don't want to (switch it off)!! I agree it gives off a good feeling (good vibe). My parents were around the other night to listen to some music, and have coffee and dessert & remarked at how good the sound was. Mum said the sound was "rich". Dad remarked on how "accurate" the sound was, and both agree it was a "good sound". More importantly, they both were happy. The Schumann resonance seems to have a calming effect. Have you noticed how you don't want to leave the room Steve? It definitely has a secondary health benefit.

Cheers,
