Mark you've got it wrong.
There were members who tried for long to alert J.C. for the dangers of promoting this product and of leasing for free his name and reputation to J.B.

Then it IS a filter. Just a damn near useless one tuned too high and not enough Q to do anything useful, audio or RF.At the risk of opening another can of worms, the bybee is a 0.025ohm 5% resistor. Nothing more, nothing less.
Edit: there's a coil around that resistor too, perhaps to filter out the highs.
And what would be the cut-off frequency of a wirewound 0.025 ohm inserted into a 2µH coil?

There is no audio signal per se in the cables. Just a whole lotta free electrons that barely move.
Tuned too high for RF? RF can run into the GigaHertz, is that high enough?

Depends on the load R. Some bybees only need to be put near something. Scott W tested the one clamed to improve video monitor quality just be being there, not in any way connected...
More importantly what is the Q, at any frequency you’d be interested in. If you want that L to do ANYTHING useful one needs more R, not less. Assuming R and L are in parallel here, which I think would be the case.
Indeed he did. He set out to show that Jack Bybee's advertising claims were utter BS. Didn't we already know that?
Bybees can affect sound, sometimes make poor systems sound better, usually make good systems sound worse (assuming enough current is run through the device to make it do anything at all). That's the truth as I understand it. Why should people be punished for telling the truth? Why do people need to be warned not the tell the truth? JC said he didn't like Jack Bybee's advertising claims and told Bybee so, yet people in this forum accused him of agreeing with and even promoting those claims.
For Sigma-Delta? If so, might be interesting to go tell that to MarcelvdG and see what he says.
Marcel's LA paper attached to help get you ready 🙂

That comment is a little hard to swallow since most of Bybee’s customers are savvy, well-heeled advanced audiophiles. That’s how Bybee can afford to buy his wife a Bentley. One assumes you have no experience with Bybee devices yourself.
Subjectivity....

Objectivity…
“Fred’s chilli uses 4oz of 100,000 Scoville chillies per 1LB of beef and other ingredients”.
“Simon’s chilli uses a 1/2 oz of 100,000 Scoville chillies per 1LB of beef and other ingredients”.
“Eat whatever one you prefer, the milk is in the fridge”

Many people seem to be confused as to the difference between discrimination and preference. For example, say you are taking a driving test to get your license and the driving examiner asks you, "what color is the traffic light at the next intersection right now, red, yellow, or green?" If you say, "I prefer beige," then you don't get your license. If you say green, and it is, does the driving examiner say, "no, that's only your subjective opinion!?"
In the above example, 'beige' was a preference, 'green' was discrimination.
Therefore if someone says I can hear this Bybee is doing something to the sound, that's discrimination.
OTOH if someone says, I like what this Bybee is doing to the sound, that's preference.
Would you agree?

Mark. Interesting point, but do we not all discriminate in one way or another? Due to possible bias and preference amongst other things and is this not one main value of objectivity and standardised measurement? In your example would not the "fail" have been because the answer given was not any of the three allowed choices? (Taking into account no colour blindness, which is why measurement processes should be standardized).
Mark, chances look real good Bybee customers are more savvy and have better systems than you give them credit for. Shooting blanks in the dark, it appears to me, logical fallacies.
Let me help you out, suggest that Bybee users probably believe in UFOs.

You only state subjective opinions. Those opinions may be the truth to someone but not for everyone.
