Ferrite beads, are a panacea for removing noise, that is of a higher frequency than audio, and are wrapped around just about every cable available.
What I can understand is if the QP is so good at removing noise, why it aint used more for millitary equipment and communications, instead of almost exclusively for Audiophiles?? And if it is used for Mil gear whats it reference (CECOM one will do).
All we doubting Thomas's want is a pointer to some real phenomena, not some reference to magical Quantum workings and hush hush materials. Its not just the QP's, there is a whole array of audio devices that claim Quantum effects, backed up by pages of esoterical write ups. All I want is a bit of reality with the claims.

It is NOT a circuit. It is only a device that you plug in in series with the test load. This is the AC power line as the source.
In any case, I was asked for some measurement that shows something different when the Bybee device, (in this case two devices) are inserted. This shows something.
However, I do not see that this will make any difference to most here.

Bybee devices are essentially non-magnetic. Only certain connecting wires on the interior resistors sometimes have some magnetic component. Try a magnet on anything Ferrite. This does not happen with a raw Bybee device. They also do not explode when put in water.
Sticking with that story. If anyone needs the address for a dealer in Singapore or the former Soviet republics you can find it on line.
Thanks John. If there is anyone who can make a difference, its you or Jack.
And since Jack isn't here...
But thanks so far. 🙂
Yes it does show a difference in noise and high-order spectrum components. I seems to me that the load is a piece of equipment with a classical rectifier-capacitive input filter: The telltale current bumps from the rectifiers opening up around the mains peaks are visible. Do you remember what the load was John?
But what a way to document a test - no circuit/setup diagram, no load data, no idea where/how the devices were inserted, nada. Another missed chance.

I agree that we should all be 'doubting Thomas's'. Jack Bybee, just yesterday told me of a device from another manufacturer that had a 'crazy' explanation, but some people say works. I looked at the device info and told Jack that I am tired of 'crazy' explanations and I could care less about this device, even if it worked, because it was too expensive to even try in my audio system. There are many such devices, and I tend to ignore them, BUT I do NOT condemn them without examination. Many here could profit from my example.
And no comparison to just a plain 1R resistor. (or whatever the value of the resistor in these gizmos is)
How would I know, it was done in a lab, before I even met Jack Bybee. Have you EVER looked at your own power line? You will probably see much the same thing. The lower frequency stuff is 2'd and 3'rd, as far as I can tell, and the Bybee devices cannot fix this distortion.
It appears to just be the distortion on the power line, you know, like your wall outlet. Who needs a load for that?
Whoopdie doo. I have to fill out a "government form" every time I ship a parcel out of the country.
It's called a "customs declaration" form.

0.02 ohms. And it's a metal film resistor. Which are typically inductive due to the helical nature of the resistive element.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

I was not there, but the test should be fairly easy to duplicate. Jack used to make up a test module with AC in and out. One device on the hot and one device on the neutral. He used to take it around to different hi fi stores, etc. I had one, for a time, but I gave it to my associate Brian Cheney to use, because I have a newer one in my system. It requires no wiring, just hooking up in series with whatever. The BMI 4800 could be rented. I had one heck of a time trying to get the same results with my test equipment, but that should not be too surprising, as signal averaging would remove the noise, and that is the only way that I can look with really good S/N.
