BYBEE QUANTUM PURIFIERS 

Down to order section About Bybee Technologies - And Bybee Quantum Purifiers (Information from Bybee's website) Jack Bybee, a theoretical physicist specializing in quantum mechanics and superconductivity, developed a series of esoteric wire and power purification technologies for the passive sonar systems of the U.S. Navy’s atomic submarine fleet. Even the battery stored DC power used in these submarines required special filtration to lower the noise floor to a level that did not compromise sonar performance. Many of the military applications of this technology are still classified; however, continuing research has led Jack Bybee to the development of solutions specific to power and audio/video circuits: the Bybee Quantum Purifiers. The Problem There are many kinds of noise associated with electronics. In audio reproduction, electronic noise is often manifested as lack of detail, focus and resolution. In video, this noise creates obstacles to achieving industry standards for sharpness and color definition. The removal or reduction of noise in the conducting medium is our goal. The Noise Bybee Quantum Purifiers address several kinds of electronic noise. Thermal noise in electronic equipment is typically created by the excitation of phonons, which are resonances in conductors caused by the movement of electrons through the quantum well. Phonons are a type of noise in themselves; they are caused by a certain class of electrons colliding with the crystal lattice of conductors (silver, copper, etc.) through which they are being transmitted. Such phonons travel, not at the speed of light, but of sound, and therefore are instantly out of phase with the signal. Shot noise, which is generated by the operation of transistors, is similar in nature to thermal or white noise. Low-frequency (1/f) noise is always present, and increases as an inverse power of the frequency. Electrons The Bybee solution is based on principles derived from quantum mechanics, the study of how electrons behave at the subatomic level. Quantum physicists have learned that electrons have an intrinsic angular characteristic expressed in terms of spin (either up or down), which describes their orbital behavior around the nucleus of an atom. When subjected to Bybee’s high-temperature near-superconductive material, electrons tend to join in a beneficial manner, increasing the velocity of propagation (VP) by forming what are known as Cooper’s Pairs (one spin-up electron joined with a spin-down). Coopers’ Pairs have the unique ability to tunnel through the crystal lattice of the conductor (such as a copper wire) essentially unimpeded, therefore eliminating virtually all quantum noise phenomena. To understand this effect, imagine a football game in which the player receiving the kick off could run straight down field to the goal line without being touched by any defenders. The Bybee Quantum Purifiers Bybee Technologies has developed devices fabricated from ceramics doped with oxides of rare-earth metals such as zirconium and neodymium. They achieve a VP of 92% of the speed of light, which is far higher than VPs of common conductors, which typically range from 50 to 70% of the speed of light. In addition to being near-superconductive, Bybee Quantum Purifiers are electrically passive and stable in any circuit. They induce no phase shift whatsoever, and are totally non-reactive—meaning there is no reactance between capacitance and inductance. These qualities are beneficial in numerous ways. When placed between an amplifier’s power transformer and diode bridge, for example, the Quantum Purifier eliminates undesirable impedance mismatches. In an amplifier-to-speaker connection, the absence of reactance creates an optimal signal transfer and presents an easier load to the amplifier. When transmitting digital information, the Bybee Quantum Purifier eliminates the overshoot and ringing that can occur in the leading edge of the square wave. This type of distortion is a major contributor to the harshness and glare often associated with digital sound.

Installation Suggestions For Bybee Quantum Purifiers (This information has been provided by Bybee Technologies) Bybee Quantum Purifiers have proven effective in numerous locations for every type of audio/video component and loudspeaker. Among the most common are AC power, audio/video inputs and outputs, and digital inputs and outputs. A good general principle for all installations is to place the Bybee Quantum Purifier as near as possible to the destination end of the AC or signal path. The simplest AC modification is to primary power: Place the purifiers between the AC input -- typically an IEC socket -- and the transformer input. For best results the recommended procedure is to put a purifier on both the hot and the neutral leg; besides yielding better sound, this will ensure full quantum purification even if the component is connected to an incorrectly wired (out of polarity) AC receptacle. If it is certain that the wall outlet is wired with correct polarity, the purifier on the neutral leg may be omitted, with some decrease in sonic performance. Note: If the equipment is used in a location that has balanced AC power, both the hot and neutral legs must be modified, and a third purifier on the ground leg will result in optimal improvement. The amount of voltage passing through a purifier is inconsequential. More important is the amount of current. The large purifiers are rated for 15 A, the small for 4.3 A. (These ratings reflect the capacity of the copper leads.) An even more effective AC treatment is to secondary power: Place purifiers between the transformer and the rectification diodes. The number of purifiers required may vary according to the circuit design of the component. One purifier should be used for each transformer tap utilized. Some users have reported even more impressive results from placing purifiers after the diode bridge. Audio, video and digital inputs and outputs: For optimum performance improvement with RCA jacks, connect a purifier at (or as close as physically possible to) the positive terminal of the jack, and a second purifier on the return (ground) leg. Treating only the positive leg will also enhance performance, but to a lesser degree. For XLR balanced input jacks, both hot and neutral must be treated. For XLR output jacks, best results will come from additionally treating the ground -- although here too, the purifier for the ground may be omitted, with some decrease in the performance improvement. The best results come from treating inputs and outputs. However, if that approach is too expensive, excellent results can still be achieved. As a rule, placing the purifiers at inputs is slightly more effective than putting them on outputs. Note: When upgrading a preamplifier, the input modification should be placed after the selector switch, so that the input signals from all source components get the benefit. In addition to the standard modifications described above, there are other locations that can be modified to provide even better performance. Bybee Technologies can provide consultation on these other performance-enhancing modifications if a schematic for the circuit is available. To modify dynamic loudspeakers, best results are obtained by connecting a purifier at the positive terminal of each individual driver. A less costly -- and less effective, although still worthwhile -- modification is to place a purifier at the positive input to the crossover network, so that all drivers get the benefit. For modifying electrostatic loudspeakers, primary power can be treated as described above. In addition, placing a purifier on the positive and negative stator wires is even more effective.
