Anyone who writes heretofore in a sentence needs a slap. Verily, the Shakespeare is strong in that ad copy

Dang laws of physics got rewritten again?!?
Why wasn't I informed of this?
I am sure I registered to receive the Laws of Physics Re-write Notification email digest...

Personally, I like that their friends were subjugated by the accuracy of the speakers.

They aren't making any specific claims, be interesting to see what thd -3db point is

Oh, I dunno... "-3 dB point" smacks of that old book physics, heretofore fashionable, but now so thoroughly subjugated by (or is it to?) the new book that this modest cohort has (re)written.

Pfffft this is easy..............I got y'all beat.

Bybee Large GOLD Quantum Purifier

Large Gold Quantum Purifier These purifiers are typically used in AC applications. It is an upgrade to Bybee's AC Bullet/Purifier. This purifier is especially recommended for solid-state electronics, and with loudspeaker transducers, especially electrostatic and metal-driver designs. Adds level...

I actually measured some of those a few year back (someone else bought them) and posted at diyAudio. A lot of the commentary got removed, but it was disheartening to say the least how the rationalization reflexes kicked in from otherwise intelligent people. The episode wiped out any respect I had for John Curl or any glimmers of hope that he had any intellectual integrity. It was very, very sad.

I heard about them because John being a big advocate. I was intrigued at first of course but the more anyone tried to defend the technology or even try and coherently explain the function of it I got the feeling this was just a ruse. Spin of electrons creating a slipstream? Really?

What was your findings? Me and a buddy deduced the one we tested had some resistive and inductive nature to them. My guess was a precision ~10mOhm wirewound resistor possibly with copper wound around the body as it did increase impedance as frequency increased, I forget what the numbers where exactly. I wish he would let me rip it open but it needed to retain it's secondary market value.

In their defense I couldn't measure directional spin of the electrons.

 

[egellings]

360 bucks a pop, and you 'need' two for stereo? Whew!

 

[SIY]

What was your findings?

30 milliohm resistor. I did comparative measurements to a known 30 milliohm resistor and they were identical.

Curl had a business arrangement with Bybee and kept denying it. Even after Bybee announced their John Curl Signature Power Something-Or-Other. Any time Curl thought people weren't paying enough attention to him, he'd start hyping the products, causing his desired furor. It was pitiful and painful to watch.

Did you know that Jack Bybee taught Richard Feynman about superconductivity? That was among Curl's claims.

 

[captainbeefheart]

Yes of course, it was all told in a leaked dossier on the Manhattan Project.

 

[Killingbeans]

I'm actually sort of thankful for the Bybee products. Their farcically blatant BS "physics" opened my eyes to the extent of supernatural nonsense being spread in the home audio hobby, and it, along with countless other ridiculous products from "innovators", helped me to embrace a healthy amount of scepticism.

 

[captainbeefheart]

Excuse my french but bullshit knows no bounds.

 

[SIY]

Don't laugh, Curl also claimed that Bybee developed his technology as part of a top secret military program for submarines.

 

[egellings]

Good ol' bullshite! There's a lot of it about!

Ahhh the plot thickens...........

And that's why I'm sceptical when cable people claim their contraptions are used by NASA or similar.

Entanglement is the best way to stream audio: no transmission jitter and zero delay! Don’t knock it till you try it.

Imagine the things Feynman could have learned if Shunyata or Entreq had been around to teach him…
