Tonewheels exist to help with the lack of vocabulary. But none of the resistor rolling fetishists seem to want to even try and use a common tool, rather preferring to copy others in using flowery language. The OP launched in as if these were HUGE differences which immediately opens him up to questioning.
Meaningless! Bill, this comment clearly indicates you are a sligfick with dangerous gomislope and couldn't differentiate a flergnog from a zipplefelx.
Now Jan that is jazz dancing.
I see no reason to insult folks for what they hear. Particularly those who hear voices telling them to use their guns...
Or for the interpretation impaired, his thread has run the course and is just getting sillier and sillier.

I believe SY did. I think that's why I never got them back. 🙂 IIRC, it looked and measured suspiciously like a small resistor. And yes, the pitch on the Bybee site is rather amusing as I remember. After reading it, I couldn't help but get my order in quickly as there was no doubt they were going to sell out quickly.
Not sure if you are channeling Edward Lear or Stanley Unwin there, but a fine attempt.
If you ran a bit of current through one, say, maybe an amp or two, did it measure any excess noise? Seriously, I wonder about that. Don't wonder enough to buy one though.
Go sit down for a critical listening. Then slightly move your head, say an inch or so.
The changes in sound field are readily observed.
So if you leave the room between sessions in a listening test for, say, resistors, of course you will hear a difference.

Posting criticism is part of internet forum. You are free to skip if you don't like it.
Let us know if / when you find evidence of it.
You either don't understand or deliberatly cloud the point (again). What he said was to create the differences the op claims to hear takes large changes that need a daw to make. These are not small differences. Anyone who mixes or masters knows this. These changes will not appear across a SHUNT resistor.
Why is it so important to you that everything makes a difference? It doesn't.
I don't know if everything makes a difference. Some things do. Layout can.
However as a philosophical point of view I understand why some people might say, "Everything has a sound."
Sure, measurable differences exist. Since this is audio forum, the question is, does it make audible difference?
Of course it does; as I said, 1/f noise at low frequency, on top of Johnson noise, is an universal solid state matter property.
So, is excess noise good or bad for the sound?

Why shift the goalposts every 5 minutes?
The OP claimed GROSS tonal differences, not different noise, distortion,etc.
This is ridiculous and in bad faith.

Ridiculous indeed.
But, much fun.
I bet this is an hoax from the very beginning, with no test whatsoever.

Some people can apparently hear the sound of coal from one mine as opposed to another mine. Whatever those sorts of differences are that some people can hear and other people can't seems like an interesting subject for potential study. Maybe Bybees produced their own noise sound. Don't know just wondering.
