John Curl's Blowtorch preamplifier part II

Scott Wurcer mentioned a few times the MEMS lab he had access to at Analog. It appears that their MEMS microphones were sold to InvenSense (who make a inertial sensor for Google Glass). I just placed an order for a small quantity to try out (ADMP411/ADMP510) for a wireless project, but wonder if Analog got rid of the "gold standard everything" lab.

Yes badges are in lockout mode.
 
Yes, there is always a real scientific reason ... always, always, always ...
Yes of course.
My suspicion is that the Bybee is providing a mechanism to reduce some of that interference, in some manner - just like Dan's device ...
What works, works - next step, try to find out why ...
Yes, I recognise that attenuation of interference is/maybe one of the effects of both the BQP and my gizmo.....however I think there is something more going on with my version (and BQP) that I am yet to find explanation for.

The last addition to my test gear arsenal should arrive in the next few days, and then I am in a better position to measure/discern/why what I and others very clearly hear....including the band playing at the local outdoor beer garden this afternoon...."how much, where can I get some" !.

Dan.
 
Actually, there is, and no-one has offered a shred of counter-evidence, including (and most especially) the claimant.

Of course, there's always a supply of gullible people, and clearly there's other frauds willing to step in with their newest scam as this particular one fades away.

Not giving evidence is not a proof that there is none.
That there are frauds around is no scientific proof about any specific product being a fraud.
You may confuse your inner convictions with scientific proof.
 
Hi Joshua, good to see you here still! '-)

Hi John, thank you. I didn't go anywhere, I still reside in the same small village at the center of Israel… I'm tired with repeating myself, yet I still do it every now and then. I know it's useless, for the 'technocrats' are blind to anything other than their own belief system. So I let it be.
 
Not giving evidence is not a proof that there is none.

Evidence WAS given. Lots of it. Each claim tested, each shown false. It's a fraud, and of course the snake oil guy is happy to give you lots of positive feedback. You really should concentrate more in coming up with your own scam.

The sad thing is the very dullness of the fraud. No creativity. Where are these guys in the audio world? Is this lame Bybee stuff the best thing that the con artists can do?

No imagination. It's a sad thing how thin a story can be and still suck in true believers.
 
And I am still in Berkeley, CA, surrounded by hi fi and test equipment (almost overwhelmed). I'm doing a number of design projects, but they are mostly redundant to what I have done already. We are trying to make a substitute module for the Levinson JC-2, I am doing a completely new phono system, for Audible Illusions, and a SUPER phono preamp for Constellation. Parasound will get some new products and updates as well. My biggest interest, however is my new Stanford Research SR1 and my new Apple Iphone 5s, both of which I am learning how to use effectively. It is important to keep up-to-date, or so I am told. The picture in the avatar on the left was what I was doing 51 years ago at Lockheed Aircraft. How time flies!

What was tested, how was it tested and what are the results of those tests?

It's a fraud, …

So far the fraud is only in your eyes (unless you'll come up with scientific proof that it is so. You claim that there is such proof, yet you give no reference to it. Thus, so far it's only what you say, not any scientific proof).
 
Joshua,
Let me put this in a very different way. I have a cousin, actually my mothers cousin who grew up here in America as a scientific person. He was religious but not devout when he was younger. At some point he decided to move to Israel and become a very devout believer even though he kept to his scientific job then working for your government. So I asked him once on a visit here knowing that he was technically trained and educated how he could believe the Bible and some of the things you have to take as truths just because they are in the Bible and knowing that they just can't be absolutely true. His reply was that since he chose to be a believer he had to throw out his scientific thought and just believe for beliefs sake itself, for no real reason but to be in that group that calls themselves Orthodox believers. Belief with no real proof, actually knowing that some of the information is false, but giving up those beliefs to be part of the group.

This is the Bybee believer, throwing out real science and real evidence that the claims made can not be true, even if there is a glimmer of some possibility that there is some small action that could be real and make a simple change, the insertion of a simple very low value resistor into an electronics chain and nothing more but giving that device magic powers. The claims as made by Bybee are false, a false prophet making claims that are clearly impossible and counting on people wanting to believe for no other reason than that a negative is hard to disprove if you want to believe for no other reason than to believe.

There have been real tests done by more than one person showing that the Bybee device does not work as claimed, that the claims go against scientific principal and yet people will defend and purchase the device with this counter evidence that the device can not work as claimed. If you fall on the side of true science and not sud o-science you would see that you have become one of the prophets claiming that you just have to believe.
 
Oh, I put up measurable evidence. It was just ignored. You can't have it both ways. Either measurements are allowed or they are not. Just because SY did some measurements does not mean that his measurements are adequate to know one way or another.
Almost 20 years ago, I too tried to make measurements, and I had problems measuring something useful, as well, but I know the limitations of my equipment, especially with noise reduction measurements, so that I why I have gotten some better equipment. Maybe it will show something. We shall see. PS, MY test equipment of almost 20 years ago had AD797 devices on the inputs, I put them there, myself, kindly supplied by either Walt Jung or Scott Wurcer. Still, I make audio designs that are 2.5 or more times LOWER noise, so is this good enough? Maybe I will still be noise limited by my test equipment.
