Effective Audio Slipstream DIY Products
..

These unique devices are at the heart of every Bybee Slipstream and Effective Audio plug-in "Instant Upgrade" product. Originally developed (and still used) for military applications, this quantum purification technology has proven that eliminating sub-audible noise—i.e., noise unmeasurable by typical test-bench instruments--at the quantum mechanical level produces previously unattainable resolution and beauty in home audio and video. For more than ten years select Original Equipment Manufacturers and elite custom upgrade specialists have used Bybee Quantum Purifiers to enhance the performance of hundreds of highly regarded electronic components and loudspeakers.

Experienced audiophiles with knowledge of electronics and good soldering skills can improve the sound of their system components at very reasonable cost by installing Quantum Purifiers themselves*. Loudspeaker upgrades are even easier.

Bybee Quantum Purifiers are cryogenically treated to enhance performance.

 
Large Quantum Purifiers

SGD 135.00     SGD 270.00  per pair !

This latest generation of the original Bybee Quantum Purifier is recommended in any application where high current-handling capacity is desirable. It is typically used in AC modifications, as well as in treating woofers and other large loudspeaker transducers. Large Quantum Purifiers are specially shielded against external RFI and EMF noise by the use of ERS Stealth carbon fiber material.

 

Specifications
Length : 2 inches
Diameter : 1/2 inch
Leads : 1 inch, 14 gauge copper
Current-handling : 15 A
Voltage : >1000 V
Resistance : 0.025 ohm

Small Quantum Purifiers

SGD 150.00   SGD 270.00  per pair !

The new-generation Slipstream Quantum Purifier incorporates newly developed carbon fiber-based technology. It has replaced the original Small Quantum Purifier, providing dramatically improved audio and video performance. Slipstream Quantum Purifiers are typically used in low-current (<4 A) AC circuits, non-AC analog and digital circuits, big-screen Tvs, and on smaller midrange drivers and tweeters.

Specifications
Length : 1 inches
Diameter : 1/3 inch
Leads : 1 inch, 18 gauge copper
Current-handling : 4.3 A
Voltage : >1000 V
Resistance : 0.025 ohm

Modification Guidelines

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.

It is recommended to use the large purifiers for AC and loudspeaker modifications if physical space permits. Where space is limited, for instance with some source components, the small purifiers may be substituted as long as the current flow through them and does not exceed 4.3 A. It is typically more convenient to use small purifiers in modifying analog and digital circuits, although large purifiers may be used In those applications if space permits.

 

AC Upgrades
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.

Note: Treating secondary power is NOT recommended for designs utilizing tube rectification. In such cases it is preferable to modify the primary AC input. Also, when trading secondary power in tube amplifiers, DO NOT place a purifier on the filaments transformer tap

 
Audio, Video, Digital Inputs / 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 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 lessening of 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 further improve performance. Bybee Technologies can provide consultation on these other performance-enhancing modifications if a schematic for the circuit is available.

 
Loudspeakers
Dynamic loudspeakers     :    the best possible results are obtained by connecting a purifier at both the positive and negative terminals of each driver. A less costly -- and less effective, although still worthwhile -- modification is to place a large purifier at the positive and negative inputs to the crossover network, so that all drivers get the benefit. If access to the crossover is difficult, the large purifiers may be placed between the end of the speaker cable and the positive and negative input terminals. (Be careful to avoid a short between the positive and negative input terminals.

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.

 

Some Additional Notes

For all of the above examples, very good improvements can be realized even if the purifiers for the negative side are omitted. A good compromise is to put purifiers at each transducer's positive terminal and use a single purifier at the negative crossover input or speaker terminal.

AC wall outlets with a maximum current draw of 15 A or less may be modified by placing a large purifier on both the positive and neutral connections. This should be done only by a qualified electrician, as there is danger of injury from electrical shock.
