Regular participants at the Asylum -- hell, even posters on the long-gone The Audiophile Network that netted Stereophile some of its popular writers -- will recognize Steve Eddy as a well-informed, humorous and sharp-shooting audiophile. What not all may know is that he's been working for the Coda-Continuum Group of Sacramento in various functions for years, an employment that just recently ended for a change of pace.

That first link hasn't anything to do with me. The new company is The Audio Guild, not Audio Guild.

You know the saying : once you go Dutch...(..you're too fckd up to notice it's the same old guy, in a different dress)
Really I thought better of you. The Bybee stuff is a side show, you are not that stupid, I for one am on your side.
I HAVE opened one up but there are photos on the internet that show essentially what I found. Jack Bybee is a good friend of mine, and I have not 'caught him out' like I have with so many here.
Hi Scott.
So none of us understand how the Bybee devices work, but that does not mean that it does not have some kind of effect, advantageous or otherwise.
I have spoken to a Bybee owner, and he spoke highly of the sonic effects.
This guy is not stupid, has lived long term with all manner of equipment (buys/tries/sells most, keeps some), and is long past any expectation bias issues.
Indeed I have a removable device that clamps around cables and effects sonics of any system that I/others have trialled it on.
Systems trialled range from car audio, home AV, mid-fi, high-end, club PA, club DJ, through to major stadium PA systems.
A while back I treated the multicore of a 20,000 seat venue PA.
At the end of the third song, Axel Rose paused, looked straight at the FOH engineer and said ''Wally, is there something you're not telling me, this is the best sound I've ever had'' !!!.
During rehearsals, Neil Young's guitar techs had the same kind of words to say when used on NJ's guitar rig.
I don't have a theory explanation for this device/technique as yet, but I do find that anybody can hear the effect and reports favourably, and also describes the sonic changes in the same terms without any prompting.
I think all agree that the Bybee advertising/stories is a load of rot, but the same can be said for many other kinds of tweaks, be they automotive, health, etc, etc etc, the list is endless.
Scott, why don't you voyage to JC's house and take a listen for yourself ?.
I for one would very much like to audition JC's systems, and draw my own conclusions about the efficacy of the Bybee devices.
Heck, I might show him something out of left field myself !.

All things are possible Dan, well until King Dogma shows up, sad , since there's a lot of heavy hitters around, imagine the discussions possible, not to mention others in the industry who would drop in if not for King Dogma...
Thanks, I am very well aware of the inexperienced touting dogmatic 'proofs'....sad really, but it's all water off a duck's back to me.
I have in the past week purchased the last of test gear required in order to accurately measure/characterise what is going on.
I do have first person connections/access to some seriously big heavyweight manufacturers of worldwide AV/audio products, and worldwide live audio production companies/artists also.
There are more than a few waiting for the final product.
With measured proofs, the Dogma adherents might yet learn something new.

Spend enough time around experienced studio or live sound guys and you will soon learn appearances, cost, measurements, reviews don't mean squat to them.
Further, these guys don't own the gear, so investment is not an issue.
Unlike many (inexperienced) domestic audiophiles, these guys don't care a damn about the above parameters....if it sounds good they will say so, if it doesn't then out the door it goes, simple as that.
Please explain.

This ******** of the first order Dan.
There are enough crap MP3 recordings nowadays that stand witness to this.
A few artists standout, but they are few and far between.
Thanks Max Headroom, for your input. Now you see what I am up against on a daily basis. I, too, just bought some new test equipment, and I hope to use it wisely. Unfortunately, I suspect that no matter what I measure, it will be discounted by the 'critical mass' here.
