The results were: Fanfare: It measured like a resistor.
Again, would someone please explain why these devices are only sold and marketed to audiophiles?

They are the only two market that price to performance ratio are not the primary driver. The basis of my question was since it just a resistor are there much more cost effective way to get the same result ? In one of the posts the suggestion that the Bybee be placed between the transformer and the bridge for best results . I may have missed some thing but is that tank circuit (secondary and bridge ) that sensitive to very small resistance ? My understanding was that Snubber need to be much larger to be effective.

From a technical basis, yes, just buy a 30 milliohm resistor from Mouser or Digikey. From a consumer satisfaction point of view, no, the high price and exotic story is the thing you're buying. It's just like getting homeopathic medicine.
By the way, I once ODed on a homeopathic remedy- I didn't take any.
Well what you do is drop a superconductor into a bucket of resistors. Whack on the bucket a couple of times and then remove one of the resistors and place it in another bucket of resistors.
Whack the new bucket a few times and repeat the process till you have 16 times.
The final bucket wil be full of completely magical resistors.
(For those who are confused look at how some homeopathic medicines are made.)

Haha! BTW Doug Self references and discusses your Linear Audio resistor article in his new 6th edition. That's at least three persons who believe in it!

Jacco has been getting very humorous recently, it must be something in the air over the channel
European mainlanders are a bit avont garde compared to us staid English.
the air from Amsterdam wafting over to Rotterdam?

Uncork the champagne! 3 people!!!! You can make it 4, Jan. I believe too. In fact, one friend teases me about all the brown resistors I have in my spare parts bin.
As far as jacco, I'm pretty sure he is treated as his own nation-state by the EU.
That’s strange.
A scientist would grab this opportunity in order to investigate the working of his device. With the help of an engineer, he could record all the external conditions of the “incident” and would try to replicate them in his lab.
My short answers, assuming music as a stimulus:
1. Placebo effects can’t influence measurements, they influence preferences.
Measurements and some listening tests (DBT) neutralize placebo effects and may influence preferences
2. Not wrong but limited.
Simon, thank you but I feel safe now. I drive a 15 y.o. Skoda.
I can hardly convince my wife to get in for a ride.
