No point in having these conversations, if it wasn't Bybee it would be boxes of dirt or bags of little polished rocks.
Dan, I guess you do understand that such a statement is completely irrelevant as to the question whether these devices do anything other than pay for a luxury car installment, and that you make it in jest ? 😎
Jan
Ahhh yes. I think I offered to take your money and circulate it for you ;-)
I understand veganism and vegetarianism and have no problem with any of that, but it is unnatural in the most literal sense.

The thread was/is pretty good and well natured considering it's an emotional subject for some, anyway OT (sort of)
lol.....I was gonna say it looked like a resistor with a metal foil tape around it.
The tape must be where the magic lay!
Dan, with all due respect, are you aware of what they cost? I purchased a pair of the small ones, used them how I was instructed by the manufacturer, broke them in, in a manner suggested by JC and proceeded to implement them in my rather large array of high and mid frequency drivers.
As you know, I was unable to discern a difference. They simply didn't do what they advertised or at least didn't do in in a manner I could detect.
Please explain what motivating force there was for me to consider purchasing something more from the company when the product in hand was more than a little disappointing?

Snobs have the money so we need to sell them something to get their money and redistribute them in an ethical manner if we really are what we pretend to be 🙂
Lets be honest, most of the engineers are very poor at selling their tallents and then of course they become envious on the natural sellers ! Unfortunately engineers die engineers and usually poor compared to the poorest seller.It's just life!
I still remember a famous painter who once was asked to give a price for one of his painting and he said : i want 1 million dollar for this painting.The client asked...Why do you ask so much money?What makes it so valuable?Why don't you ask 100 000 dollars or 2 million instead?The painter said...I don't know...I put all my soul in it and besides, 1 million dollars sound awesome!

Nope, the large BQP are 0.025R Pacific beryllium resistor with BQP 25R sleeve in concentric parallel.

Remember SY had my small ones, which unmistakably resemble a carbon film resistor. I believe the lead resistance was 0.25Ω IIRC.
Hi Cal.
Yes, I am well enough aware of what they cost and it all depends on your gear and your disposable income as to whether they are worth while.
In the case where you had only one BQP I think it was a mistake to use on one driver only (mid or high) instead of at the input of full range loudspeaker box....you would have been better to compare boxes and not drivers.
The BQP sound is unlike anything you have heard before, and is reasonably subtle but once heard can't be unheard.
The effect is a 'reclocking' or 'dithering' of the current noise and all items connected will be changed.
The treated driver sound may be masked by the untreated driver sounds causing the false negative.
If you were to try them again as I suggest you will likely 'get it' and then be fascinated.
I have moved on to my ear more correct and musical solution, BQP works but does have signature.
Dan.
My experience was with large ones, I think the ones you got are a different beast.
Technically, I don't think you can accuse him of thread-jacking Jan? Sorry, maybe you can I'm not up on the rules (tut-tut) I could have ment, being OT
So some are fake and not others? IMO none of them do anything, and I speak with equal authority as anyone else.
I had two. I tried them individually, in parallel and in series. Didn't turn a pig's ear into ham.
They do not recommend using the small ones in a full range circuit. Did I mention I used them as the manufacturer recommended?
If I get the chance to listen to the larger ones, I will do so with as open a mind as I had when I tried mine. Sadly, I won't be purchasing them myself as once bitten...
Anyway, I won't continue to pollute Jan's thread here, that's not fair.
We are in the lounge, so it is difficult. Same as me trying to bring measurements to the BT thread and asking the others to do the same, I understand. Pub and beer debates for debates, that's it.
That's why I asked about a listening test, I felt measurements weren't going to happen. Anyway, I'm definitely OT 😱
The Bybee is said to be connected to the circuit, but to illustrate even closer from the first post, one could talk of the "famous" resonator of Mister Chang or Tchang (doesn't remember exactly) :
change the sound, is made from mix of wood and a metal bowl above it : different models : copper-plated; gold-plated, silver plated, etc... two or thre different size, very expensive. Reviewed in all the world in many paper and electronic magazines...
Sort of illustration of the placebo effect in relation to the monney. It is not from big data, but purchasers saw ads in hifis paper mag. so sort of cunsumers pre selection. Certainly was already talked in the Snake oil thread, dunno !
