I too felt a cynicism about the Bybees before I tested them.
I should note that I have no experience with any Bybee product except the Super Effect modules found in the Ultra Power Cord and the Speaker Bullets. I am not a dealer, just a music enthusiast.
I shared the bullets and power cord with a well experienced audiofile here in Albuquerque. He is a diyer, having built a set of Orions and matched sub woofers, and later fabulous sounding line arrays.
We tried them in and out; at various points in the signal line on various speakers, equipment, and music. He told me each time, each trial his system had never sounded better.
Frank is more of a skeptic than I am about fads and tweeks;
experienced in the field for more then twenty years.
My experience is that of a musician with ear training from a very early age, and performance for many years into adult hood. I play French Horn, currently renewing with my Classic Guitar, and dabbling with the Bag Pipes.
My skepticisim is based on what I hear; ears I find very trustworthy.
I hear a difference that is important to my ears when listening critically as a musician and just for simple relaxation.
I have spoken to one of Jack"s early Beta testers who told me that he and friends find the difference to persist to a point that has allowed them to sell off high cost interconnects and speaker cables and maintain a purity of sound that is still better then higher cost systems without the Bybee.
Dick Oshler has a review and explanation of the Speaker Bullets in the June/July TAS; worth the read.
I think the critical ears of the designer of the Reference 3A Grand Veena included the SE Bybee for a reason in spite of price. Note: only one per speaker direct wired inside.
Just some humble thoughts,
I hope others can try them for themselves,
watch for used here on agon to cut the cost,maybe.
