Bybee Quantum Purifier Measurement and Analysis

[PMA]

Best left them unconnected. Just elmag field coupling.

OK, so I'm only the second most cynical person here!


Jan:

Experienced audiophiles with knowledge of electronics and good soldering skills can improve the sound of their system components at very reasonable cost by installing Quantum Purifiers themselves

That certainly implies soldering. I'll use silver bearing solder, just in case.

 

[Andrew Eckhardt]

It looks to me like they'd work best if you used a western union uh, joint.

[jacco vermeulen]

most expensive resistors ever, and no silver or gold?

Duh, the ones with solid silver leads are the more most expensive.

 

[john curl]

No, the gold leads are the most expensive.

As for PVC, I think Bud likes it OK as a dielectric. Bud, please chime in here.

PVC is ok out to 3 meters or so. Noticeable HF shift at that length but just noticeable. Better is polyproylene and least alteration is polyolefin. Strictly ad hoc tests, without any more rigor than is usual for me.

 

[john curl]

Bud, these are a different Bybee device than I was first describing. The larger units were what I was referring to for potential RF measurement. I don't know much about the smaller devices, except that they should measure .025ohm resistance, and the wire should be copper for the cheapest units, which were the ones actually purchased.

 

[jacco vermeulen]

No, the gold leads are the most expensive.

If only they were solid.

Mr. van den Hul explained to me that gold atoms are much larger than silver, so if you dope silver wire with gold you destroy any regular lattice there might have been in the silver. OTOH, 'gold doped silver wire' sounds pretty impressive, huh?

/And now back to our regular programming....

[john curl]

Sounds OK to me. If the goal is to break up the lattice.

 

[jan.didden]

John, you know better. I hope.

Bob Crump came to similar conclusions but we talked cables confidentially. Now that he's passed I'm figuring it's fine to relay his thoughts.

Good guy and missed. Mr. Curl knew him well.

 

[john curl]

Unfortunately, this is not the best place to discuss applied physics. Bob would try just about everything, and kept an open mind and had good ears. I miss him.

 

[Cal Weldon]

I was hoping for longer leads. The way they are the torch is going to melt them when I solder.

How many solders do you think they're going to endure?

 

[SY]

How many solders do you think they're going to endure?

That depends on what they actually do.

 

[anatech]

Hi Cal,
Practically speaking, or towards the metaphysical?

 

[john curl]

Soldering to the ends or near the ends, should be OK. You can damage them by overheating the main element, (if any).

 

[SY]

Thanks, John.
