    Bodging Naim equipment - that's just plain bloody daft. The only way to improve on Naim is to upgrade to better Naim. It costs money I know but you have be prepared to pay for the very best.

    Right, I'm off to a boozy lunch at my exclusive club where pinkos, bodgers and plebs are not allowed.

    Regards,

    Mick.

    Do you, per chance, old chap have a penchant for bespoke fountain pens, high-waist slacks, 'package' holidays in oik-infested foreign resorts, and possess questionable taste in wallpaper?

    God bless our Mick!

    P.S I note that you've called, but I'm right in the middle of doing some marking now for Del and can't stop!

    "Bybee Quantum Purifiers operate on the quantum mechanical level to regulate the flow of electrons that make up the signal "

    As soon as I see the word "Quantum" used to describe the workings of a product I lose
    interest.

    You shouldn't, Mark. This stuff works. Listen to the testimonials of delighted customers of Audiocom Bybee-modified CDPs, not the technical blurb on websites! The former is what really matters

    I understand your point; it was part of the reason why our company did not take up evaluating the Bybee products sooner. The fact is the product works, numerous installs across of variety of audio gear, feedback from customers is testimony that not only do they work, they are a remarkable product.

    Hi Mark

    I had the ByBee Products fitted to a Modwright Pre Amp SWL 9.0se a pair on the mains and a pair on the O/P. Had an unmoddified version as a direct comparrison.

    Mark I think you used the term 'the music made more sense' is a good description. My current Modwright 36.5 doesn't have any fitted, but it is certainly on the cards for the future.

    Some people will laugh, let them, these things do work. Just don't ask me for the explination.

    Well, you have to draw the line somewhere and that's where I've drawn mine.
    Had a look at the ByBee website and I see he's at Half Moon Bay (not too far from me).
    Maybe I'll take a trip, but the retail store " The Bybee Connection " looks like a house.
    Anyway it's a nice drive along US 1 it goes all the way along the coast.

    edit
    my mistake it says "retail source " not "retail store" so maybe he does work from his house !

    Yes, easy to dismiss as Snake oil but the results when installed by a professional, such as Mark. I like Half Moon Bay, some interesting restaurants down there.
