Bybee's inline usually clean up 'wrong' highs and harmonic content.
The data show differently. Tough to escape that.
BTW, they're closer to 0.025 ohm, not 0.25.
I have over and over again done things which "shouldn't make a difference" ... but, they do, so I'm happy to believe that there is "something" to this device.
Farmer John says : if it talks like Duck, walks like Duck, it's backside will smell like Duck.
What is there to this device that we may have missed. By the way I will soon have some products you may be interested in.Originally Posted by fas42 View Post

Mistake noted Sy...
Still no answer from the Bybee supporters club, WHY is this product only marketed to Audiophiles and not to general electronics users especially people who work with low noise critical analogue stuff, anyone care to answer....
When I fluked the "good sound", after 5 minutes or so the quality degenerated back to conventional levels, in a slow, steady decline that could only be 'undone' by resetting all the equipment - by that I mean powering down all the gear, letting the power supply caps discharge, and switching back on again. What was happening was that interference and other factors slowly destabilised the operating conditions within the components, and it has been a battle over many years trying to circumvent that behaviour. Interestingly enough, once you tune into this aspect of quality variation you can hear it occur in equipment you're totally unfamiliar with - I once heard a demo of the "best" MBL gear, very well engineered high end, and the track started very impressively, but then, uh oh, the telltale signs of quality fall off begain to raise their ugly head ...Care to elaborate ?.

Marce, you're throwing logic and common sense against marketing and faith. Logic and common sense will lose.

Please don't confuse marketing with quackery. Ok?
😀
Please don't confuse
Would you believe I reside near Quack water.

In around 20 minutes time I shall be enjoying some roast quacker for lunch, actually quacker legs a l'orange 😀
interference and other factors destabilised the operating conditions within the components, how do they no the difference between interference and signal???Originally Posted by Fas42

I'd get a new system.
STILL NO ANSWER: Why are BQPs only available to Audiophiles.....
Because the signal is travelling along the expected electrical paths, largely; and interference, well, "interferes" everywhere. As a simple example, the power supply may be disturbed by various, unexpected factors.interference and other factors destabilised the operating conditions within the components, how do they no the difference between interference and signal???
I'm not going to say that I understand precisely the why, the what, the when - if I did I would have written the reference volume on the subject years ago, and be sunbaking in the Bahamas from the proceeds. Unfortunately, I, like others in similar situations, am observing behaviours, attempting to understand to at least a first level what the characteristics are, theorising about possible causes, and attempting to mitigate the negative aspects.
I would suggest reading Henry Ott.
Any electrical interference (any other is irrelevant for this argument) is going to follow the same paths as the signals, so how does this interference upset the components.....

So maybe they are a non-linear series element...
No, more like a hard working Maxwell's demon.
Again, if I understood it all, I would be a lot further ahead. Static buildup appears to be a major culprit in many instances - I take measures which mitigate against this happening, and I have improved sound. Ott has much to offer, going the rounds in every area of possible ill effects will eventually knock down enough problems to get a sufficient quality of sound.
For me, the key factor was achieving that quality of sound on a number of occasions - having very clear, very well defined goalposts makes all the difference to one's motivation; if you're searching for something "better", and that destination is a vague, nebulous thing then it obviously makes the journey that much harder ...

For all we know, you may be sunbaking near Brisbane, on the gold coast.
Standard characteristic of Quackers is larding claimed observations with various arguements of a highly subjective nature, then attempt to wrap it with substantation of a seemingly scientific approach.
Typical also is the lavish use of words, preferably suave ones, as a camouflage cover of comments lacking a real meaning.
As a stereotype lawyer does.
The classic Duck fails to see, that body language is unable to lie, and once logged and cata-logged, is impossible to misinterpret.
To spot the Duck, merely register and identify the Quack. And vice versa.
(Naturally, due to a malfunctioning, somewhat psychotic BCI, it could mistakably be mixed up with a trolley-bag. Not now Humphrey, I'll talk to you later)

When baiting the bear be careful the bear doesn't get you.
On that note my reservation with SY's Bybee measurements is that they showed no difference between a resistor and the device under test. At some level albeit may be very small there should be a difference.
Now my personal favorites are magical rocks and wine. One clearly improves the enjoyment of music. If only I could remember which one it was.

In the Carib, it's white wine on the rocks.
With 90F ambient temperature, takes musical enjoyment to a higher level in a jiffy.

In Perth, we have those temps most of the time, and great wines all of the time. 😉 .
Lots of great music too.

I can see we're not using the right type of EE approved magical devices - best to stick one of those rare Toshiba JFETs in some nice, clearly visible location ... perhaps attached with Super Glue, probably doesn't matter too much how it's done ...
How this the bybee changes thing a small amount see the Linear Audio review . The placebo effect is then waved over it and the suggestion that it is a magic change is injected . The very powerful Placebo has blessed it and made it so . Clinical trial reinforce the power of Placebo. Snake oil wins because people want it to. The truth may set you free but does not guarantee happiness. Has anyone compared Bybee to other .025 ohm 25 watt resistors like any current sensing ones ?WHAT!!!!
Good question.Has anyone compared Bybee to other .025 ohm 25 watt resistors like any current sensing ones ?
