Through experience of BQP I do know that they affect/effect audio systems.Dan, you've just dismissed pseudo-science and real science in the same sentence. What's left?
It is the 'explanations' that are the problem.
Dan.
On communications receivers you can turn off the agc and control it manually.
From searching the Web and this thread I'm left with the
impression that JC is the one who designed the bybee.
That second bit was kind of my point. With no AGC, the noise floor stays at low ebb.
Not sure that's completely accurate...
Wait... What?
Isn't balanced audio primarily concerned with CMRR within the audio band?
Affect how?
Wait - attenuate? What?
Unsubstantiated. Work on what exactly?
Thanks, but no thanks. These days my Saturday nights are tragic enough without having to clean brain matter out of the carpet.
By attenuating it. The process is induction.
If you put a permanent magnet ontop of two wires carrying an alternating electric current it will stop the electric current provided that the magnet directly opposes the magnetic field in the electric wire.
The same thing is occuring in the RFI that appears on a conducting wire, except the RFI is at a much higher frequency, but it still produces a magnetic field in the conductor which is going to attenuate the audio frequencies which are much lower in frequency.
The act of adding a choke to the wire produces a high resistance to the radio frequency interference and so therefore the RFI cannot produce a electromagnetic field in the wire.

Ok then can you explain the process by which radio interference affects audio signals? Ok I'll give you an easy example, a microphone circuit is being interfered with by an AM radio station, the microphone itself is not to blame, the entire system is picking up AM radio broadcasts. Whenever someone turns on an amplifier that isn't connected to anything they are receiving AM radio broadcasts.
By rights a radio frequency signal operating at 1MHz should never have any influence on the audible frequency spectrum of 20Hz-20KHz. but it does.

What really is the problem is that the effect/affect magically disappears under controlled testing.
Are you referring here to an actual interference problem you're having with actual equipment?
See, this kind of statement is simply too nebulous to do much with. What type of influence are you referring to, exactly? Is this about the "attenuation" thing again? Because that just ain't how it works, sorry.
A few weeks ago I posted a comment that someone took a box of 78RPM phono needles (ancient) that claimed to be osmium tipped. They happened to have access to a mass spectrometer (?) and measured not a trace of osmium. I wonder if the rare earth claims of the BQP's would stand up?
the bybees that had the magic sauce in a clear glass fuse contained
cerium, lanthanum, neodymium,praseodymium and IRON. And traces of tantalum and titanium.
that was then, probably the magic sauce has changed since its now a film on ceramic.
If anyone knows where to buy the ceramic tubes and the copper end plates, should be real easy to make bybee clones for cheap.

Yawn, its getting a bit of a joke... though every so often you like to bring up the damm things, a bit of free advertising...; still a scam though.
So If you have the right tools, which I did have before I retired, its real easy
take the thing and remove the heatshrink and the insulator stuff. Stick the rest in a bath of pure nitric acid for a few hours. take the acid, dilute 100:1 and stick into a ICPMS
(inductively coupled plasma quadrapole mass spectrometer)
these days those things are good to better than 1 part per billion, and this will result in parts per thousand, and identifying all the metals takes a few seconds. Any university with a decent chemistry department (or planetary sciences) is going to have one of these.
but the 25 ohms without the internal resistor is kind of telltale sign that this is now some carbon compound that is fired onto the ceramic because its a much different color than the old ones.
