Than you had things like UNCLASS/NOFOR - unclassified but you were not supposed to tell anyone of another nationality.

One of the useful things about audio gizmos is that the inventor cannot resist writing a good story. If only they kept completely quiet we would have no ammunition to fire back at them. Sadly, the same description which alerts us also serves as a marketing tool for those with no science.
You guys have it all wrong.
The blather used to describe the widget and how it works is simple obfuscation.
That device, put into the power cord ground, will indeed reduce noise between the ground and neutral lines of a power amp. The waveforms JC provided are indeed consistent with the introduction of a .3 ohm resistor in the safety bonded conductor.
You've all fallen into a very simple trap. The device can work because it drops the ground loop induced current caused by line cord haversines and gated bridge audio currents by increasing the loop resistance.
Since a low value resistor can indeed make an audible and measurable difference in the safety ground in situ with source equipment, anybody who claims otherwise clearly is incorrect.
Get over the garbage explanation. Worry about the introduction of a resistance in a bonding circuit, and how it may violate NEC.

JN,
I thought that others were putting these things at the speaker terminal. Again a simple resistor could change the high frequency response which is what is reported?

So it is just like adding an old paper capacitor to the end of a piece of wire to make it a better antenna - it really does improve it.
I speak only of the AC waveforms provided as "proof".
Look at the waveforms. The plots are neutral to ground voltage. The levels are clearly beyond any IR drop, and reflect actual loop trapped magnetic field induction, Faraday's law.
The explanation foisted has drawn everybody's attention away from what is clearly there. Anybody say "ooh look, a squirrel..?

I believe I mentioned that on one particular tweeter, I heard or wanted to hear a difference so maybe I did, maybe I didn't. I was so hoping that perhaps...
In any event I don't recall the difference as being better or worse if existent at all.
If snake oil is 'supported' by measurements, the measurements are always extremely lousy. This Bybee case is no exception.
The good electrons drive Bentley. The doorman knows.

OK enough of this nonsense, I'm all in. I bid on the Bybee's and promise to make all the measurements necessary, so JB's posse better outbid me or suffer the consequences.
For the record, just so that everybody knows: I have not ridden in the
Bentley for a number of years. It is a nice car though. AND Jack has not taken me to lunch since a previous AES when we had lunch in San Francisco with Dimitri (of DIY) several years ago.

There are no specific electrons.

Are you saying that there are no specific electron STATES? That is what is implied in Jack's info.
You cannot pinpoint electrons or give them a label. (quantummechanics)

I love the listing of rare earth metals:
Zirconium, Yttrium, Nedymium, Praeseodoymium & Lanthanium
It sure will impress the layman.

Others declared the Bybee devices to be fraud. I only responded.
My education has nothing to do with the fact that no scientific evidence concerning the Bybee devices being a fraud was presented here. People here claim they are fraud, yet without any scientific evidence to their claim.
