I.e. we make it up.
Dan you keep talking about removing 1/f noise. Bybee's claims are very specific, it is done without removing musical content at the same frequencies. I don't see discussing noise at sub .1Hz or so frequencies as productive where is it propagating from component to component in an AC coupled signal chain?

Missed that nugget regarding not knowing what is going on, the alchemist from discworld are more scientific...
Hi Scott.
What I'm talking about I think is VLF noise, very likely not quite so low as 0.1 Hz.
Does Bybee actually state removing noise from musical frequencies ?.
I think he is saying removing/reducing consequential musical frequency noise (modulation products) by reducing/altering sub audio band noise, and this is what I think I am hearing in his product, but with the caveat that IME/IMO there is still an identifiable flavour/spectrum imparted/remaining by BQP.
Sonicaly it sort of sounds like reduction in VLF/close in clock jitter, and aligns with Jocko's (and Joe Rasmussens's) statements.
Another description might be a reduction in VLF tremolo/phase/timing effect that subtly intrudes and once heard as not belonging is noted.
JC has made discussion re PID...this might be part of the equation.
Scott, you have made very generous offers of material assistance....now that it is Spring here and warming up I promise to step up to the plate and get back to my shed and do some serious investigation.
I spend every second weekend in my father's (77yo and veteran/icon of Aus broadcasting design/manufacturing industry) shed and he hears and describes the subjective changes of BQP and another contender in pretty much the same words that I do.
There is something intriguing going on that I/my father/others hear clearly that I have not found literature for.
Dan.
I have not followed this at all. No idea what CH is or did. Just relating information about lines on the floor which in some homes may have unknown issues based upon assumptions. I would investigate further if you have a situation as I described.
I've been busy in Bangkok.... I just got home and it is 8.30pm here at the condo. Had a great dinner and now have some time to just comment but not read back too far. I hope everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves as much as I am. Had to get some batteries for the 3D glasses to watch with the new UHD 4K video monitor. 3D has got a lot better over time. Listening to Sara Brightman.

I wondered who bought 4K TVs before there was useful content.
isn't 3D officially dead in the water? even sky has shut down their 3D service.

Have they, gutted, I loved watching some films in 3D, but haven't done for a few weeks since the cat decided to pee on my 42" LG and destroy it (funnily while I was sat in front of it trying to avoid peeing!).
Saw a good demo in China, but for me a non-starting novelty double that for the curved TV's. Been catching up on some classic and not so classic oldies.
Besides that even the sales folks admit that regular HD processed by the 4K TV's usually looks like paint by number ****.

Seldom do I agree with he posts of Mr. Marsh, but in this case he is correct.
Plumbers have been killed by Lost Neutral currents flowing through all metal water pipes to or from a neighbors home.
I am reading a library book "Old Electrical Wiring" by David Shapiro. He writes about 'currents flowing through the wire mesh under stucco'.
Neal Muncy, Bill Whitlock, Jim Brown & Steve Lampen have all written about lost currents flowing through metal pipes and structures. While this is a big problem for legacy guitars, it can cause other problems.
Now just how often this is a problem in home hi-fi systems and why a wooden block would help (more than just moving the cable) is another question.
Don't let it go unnoticed that the old plot JC trots out looks like, if anything some small spikey stuff goes missing. The time scale on those plots couldn't possibly show any low 1/f phenomena going on.
The notion that in limited scenarios relocating some capacitors from the chassis and mounting them on wood improves sound has a very prosaic explanation. Popular metal bodied capacitors commonly used in tube circuits can have significant capacitance between terminals and case. In a coupling position the added capacitance to ground is seen by the preceding driver stage.
Approaching it as voodoo from the onset almost insures effects like this wouldn't be discovered.
Minor correction, they have shut the channel but are making it available on demand.
How did the cat manage to get to a position to pee on a TV? Sure its fixable. Only 3 boards in a TV these days max.
which capacitors would these be? Only metal bodied ones I can think of offhand are the hoofing great psu ones that stick out the top, not the interstage couplers.
However in the CH case he had PSU caps hookedup through a significant inductance (8-12" of flying lead) so their hope of performing their required function was at best limited!

Exactly. Our brains are wired for over detection. But some people prefer to remain in complete denial of their own humanity. Much more comforting to them that way. Unfortunately that keeps them trapped in a Theodoric of York world of ignorance.
