Curious, how can you design something you don't understand... sounds very Bybeeish.
Yeah, working with 6GHz will show some effect in almost any component, maybe you should look at the complexities of RF and microwave design.... of course how effective things are at audio frequencies (even digital audio) is a different kettle of fish. Make sure you use step parameters as well, that really makes me laugh, as you and others moan on about how sine waves have no real correlation to real music...
Keep on playing boys I find it so amusing after so many years... keep the acolytes happy.
By being very aurally observant and seeing reasons/correlations for Sony, Pioneer, Yamaha etc 'house sound'.
Long process of AB comparisons and experiments to deduce common factors and fundamental differences.
I also had conversations with a retired nuclear physicist who confirmed each of my seemingly weird findings..."Yes, expect it" was his repeated reply.
So now I have gotten toward the end point of trialling, now is the time to formally characterise and hopefully explain what is going on.
If what I have is indeed measurably improving noise floor of all manner of elecrical/electronic systems then that will be for the benefit of all.
As it stands I am getting audio system subjective results similar to BQP, retailable at a tenth of BQP price and mega mass producible.
Midfi, hi-end, pro audio and muso trial users have been consistently highly enthusiastic and zero objections.
Recent muso comment was "I didn't know I need this, but I do know now".
Marce, I respect and acknowledge your knowledge and experience.....this is something out of left field.
It may be loading of and quenching of induced RF noise, it may be a dithering function in analog domain, however whilst on cables works well, placement on/within chassis has same audible effect and in accordance with descriptions of Bybee plate device.
Marce, I posted a translation of Studio Magazin BQP test report.
Please read it and tell me what you glean and by all means point out errors/omissions please.

I tried to read it, my comments were put up earlier... tests inconclusive, graphs not clearly labelled and S parameters used for testing.... #10433
You are adding a resistor.... so need to do the tests with the same resistor in its bare state, that is the only way, not a piece of wire.
Noise in the audio band up to 10MHz my god but some audiophiles have some excellent hearing.
Finally I occasionally work at a firm called Shimadzu research laboratory, once discussed the famous Bybees with one of the guys there, he laughed so hard I though he was going to have an accident... Bottom line load of marketing BS and a resister wrapped in ERS cloth or similar, if they did work he reckons it would be nobel prize material...

It is sad to see intelligent people promoting so many audiophile BS products and myths, but it helps keeps the money rolling in!
well for a start 10MHz is not the audio band.
secondly his mail is total BS. He talks about getting reduced HF IMD but then talks about measuring HF noise. an IMD test is an IMD test. A noise measurement is a noise measurement.
Oh and a there are perfectly good and cheap products for reducing RF noise.

I was thinking of really splashing out on these at around a tenner a pop NC3MXX-EMC - Neutrik. They give specs!
A two-terminal component can only affect a circuit by means of its impedance. If the impedance is very small then the effect will be very small. It is those who believe in magic who are way off base.john curl said:
Second-hand reports along the lines of "My friend/colleague (who is a real scientist) says I am right" do not make much impression on those who are real scientists themselves.Max Headroom said:
See, we can play that game too!marce said:
Yes, someone who does not know the difference between noise and IMD is not in a position to test anything however much his equipment cost.billshurv said:
Take it up with Max and the German guys who measured the devices. However, I think we can all agree on the "almost nothing" part.
I use them, they really work but of course there is real engineering behind them.
😀 made my day.
i can´t believe we still discuss >1000pages of "false prophets", "snake oils" and other credit card - money sucking goods

You Bybee critics make me laugh. There are plenty of exceptions to what you imply is impossible. How about tunnel diodes? What about microwave cavity resonators? Both of these devices are real, and have been used to solve engineering problems, yet they are 2 terminal devices and behave in unexpected ways, at least unexpected by typical engineers.
Kay, they can be well explained, AFTER THE FACT, that they exist and are used in industry, and then they are readily believed in. The physics may be fairly dated, so it is better explained, than the Bybee devices, but that does not rule out that 'Cooper's pairs' coupled with near superconductivity does not point toward why Bybee's original devices work. Of course, you have to suppose that 'Coopers pairs' can exist at room temperature, and that 'near superconductivity' can have effects, even though true superconductivity may not actually occur. Keeping and open mind, coupled with ACTUALLY TRYING SOMETHING, is most beneficial in cases like this.
