Anybody using Bybee DIY Quantum Purifiers?

I think that "muted" quality you've noticed is the removal of amusical electronic signal riding herd on the output signal. I have found that when QPs are employed, whether in AC cords and/or components, you can generally expect to be able to crank the gain up several notches more than without them. Why? Because that everpresent level of electronic artifact is no longer polluting your signal and artificially imposing limits via distortion on your listening comfort level. If it's cleaner it will sound better when played louder than it used to.

Acresverde,

Appears that this is your first post. You wouldn't sell or have anything to do with Bybees would you?

Just asking.

Hey Fiddler,

Absolutely no connection to Bybee or the audio business in any sense of the word. I'm just a dyed-in-the-wool Bybee believer/user. All my PCs were made by Jack, all of my components are internally Bybeed and every driver on my A/G Duos are, likewise, outfitted. Jack and I have become telephone friends over the years, though, due to my purchases and outside common interests (Calvados, i.e.). And the comments from my previous post were utterly genuine. I experienced what seemed to be a slight reduction in volume after installing these purifiers (which was done in two or three phases over time). After a long period of contemplation over this, I have decided that grunge removal (especially grunge you didn't really know you had 'til it was zapped) creates a void that welcomes an increase in gain without pain.

Incidentally, I post more frequently on AA as acres verde although nowhere near as often as "the regulars". I pick my spots where I think I can actually contribute something borne of experience. But overall, I concede that I am a bit of a novice, still, as regards interacting in these forums and the thought of a disclaimer never entered my mind.

Acresverde,

Thanks for the response and I apologize for the insinuation.

No problem, Fiddler. BTW how's everything going on the roof?
