This brings the standard 750ml bottle at $76,025.625. Not even double from what I can get from the liquor store in my neighborhood, and if you take away the crystal bottle is probably in the same price range. And has no age, "given its status as the most expensive whisky ever sold at auction – The Macallan Imperiale "M" doesn't have an age statement". It was selected from "whisky (...) from sherry oak casks and ranges in age from about 75 to 25 years old" probably using the same technology used in the Shunyata Research power cables WHY POWER CABLES MAKE A DIFFERENCE | Galen Carol Audio | Galen Carol Audio. When you open the bottle, a coin battery will become apparent under the cork, that's the Bybee legacy.
Interestingly after a re-listen on the big rig wife now likes the Mono Mercury Swan lake. I need to run it through the DR tool as it does seem nicely dynamic. But some aspects of the sonics are definitely of their age. But for a nearly 70 year old recording I still wonder how far we have really come...
I went rob a distillery here in the UK that has been running for about 6 yrs. a bunch of guys got together and set up a state of the art distillery (with attached Restuarant). They have no age statement whisky’s yet. Of course, to make ends meet, they also do Gin.
However, they are already selling limited release stuff in fancy bottles for £7500. I bought 2 £60 bots. Nice, but you can taste it’s still very young. The master distiller drives down from Scotland every week to tend his nectar

Interesting I've lost touch with my friend from Plessy whose grandfather bought him an entire cask of Macallan as a birthing gift (should be 60+yr by now). That would be 250 bottles.
You remember I still have that, pieces of copper tape with secret sauce painted on by the grandkids in the kitchen.
Their prices start somewhere around £40,-.
I think it will be very hard to find a single malt for 20% of that price.

The ones I found were UKP500 and up.

The first paragraph almost scared me to read further. The second confirmed a good reason to be afraid (quoted below)
As expected things go downhill from there... The comments section is fun.

A comment; "I have found that while the addition of these products improved the sound of a system right out of the box it significantly improved the sound after about 100 or so hours of use."
That "after 100 or so hours" thing again. Seems to be a common theme to anything audio, from AC power to speaker driver. I wonder where the plasticity actually lies?
More like science being tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail amidst the incoherent braying of toothless, grimy townsfolk.
Next I predict there will be a "study" into the cable/ lifter groove "interface," resulting in various cable jacket "geometries" such as hyper-elliptical, Shibata, etc.
As one of the seasoned members said, give "the technical benefit of the doubt like I should have given to everybody else with an understandable technical story behind their products".
Is that like Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule, the components learn to be better at hi-fi ...
Makes cars look like a sensible expenditure.
I'd love to know if some of these "designers" are only charlatans or actually true believers. Shunyata seems like what Bybee aspires to be. Still has the ex-military angle, but has added medical snake oil as well. Much higher level of industrial design and polish.
Looks to me like he targets hospitals since the device manufacturers would either laugh at him or threaten him (legally). Still surprised anyone would install that junk and risk a lawsuit, but I suppose it must be compliant with IEC 60601 and any other relevant standards.
