    Before anyone gets 'trigger happy'... I've heard similar things too.

    It could still be bollocks though.

    I can understand why some mock Bybee's, physically they do just look like painted low ohm resistors.
    I've never tried them myself but after some more reading about them (filter through the BS) I've an idea what their actually supposed to do, I think theres more to these things than meets the eye

    One thing I've learn't in this hobby, never judge a book by its cover

    Mike,

    Observe the posts of 'Pre65' and the second of 'Scotmoose' here (scroll about three quarters of the way down):

    http://www.audio-talk.co.uk/phpBB2/v...r=asc&start=45

    Coincidence or not?

    Regardless, it's yet another example of these idiots stirring the shit and slagging us off! Why can't the just ignore AOS and stick to their own forum?

    I can't claim they actually work BTW, as said above I've never tried them personally.
    I just wish people would do a little more homework before easily dismissing something tbh I think a lot of BS usually used for advertising this sort of stuff is one of the main reasons for all the mocking

    That's true, but sometimes you have to brush that aside and use an open mind to ascertain the potential viability of a product or not. I never form conclusive opinions in hi-fi without listening to the product in question first or the effect an add-on component or accessory is supposed to have.

    Only by having practical experience of using something can you comment with authority on its efficacy or otherwise.

    Indeed!!

    Sorry,i'm not sure what "trolling" means !

    I am very sceptical of devices that use the sort of techno gobbldygook to baffle people that they,for one, use.

    I admit i have not tried one,but i have to go with my "technical" knowledge that has been accumulated in a lifetime working in electronics.

    At the end of the day i respect the opinion of those who say they work,but i am still a non believer.

    If this forum is against free opinion,then i will leave of my own accord,just let me know.


    Colin.
    bis pueri senes !
