Inside a bybee?A very low value resistor and and ers wrapping with a kind of copper tube??
Isn't it a kind of Z-sleeve per polarity or neutral/phase???

I am having trouble getting why these thing cost a couple hundred dollars. Can someone explain it to me?

remember: 20/20 hindsight.Bybee stuff dissected,looks simplistic, but they are not.
The older ceramic sleeves employ a technology not available to the open market, military only. Oh I'm sure enemy states can buy it and duplicate it, but for us laymen, it would be darn right impossible.It would not be possible to replicate the knowledge and research Jack knows in its fabrication.
Newer purifiers use carbon nano tubes. Ever consider the ramifications?
First you need them long enough to be useful, then you have to terminate them. How the hell do you terminate a piece of carbon? Obvious there is a way but I suspect it ain't cheap. I once did search for nano tubes once:2 mm was considered very long...Jack Bybee is at an age where he deserves nothing less than to be sitting in his lounge chair with a cold glass of wine. But his mind keeps on ticking, and he keeps on coming out with new product.
I greatly admire him for that....

here's an older photo of a Bybee A/v Tail. Note the ground wire uses an 16 gauge 14 K gold wire (or was it 18 K?). lead on large purifier on Hot lead is silver...Jack told me that some of his Gold version had a melt value higher than the original retail ($600)

Today I stumbled upon some reviews of the Bybee music rails. I had never heard of them...living in a cave...but what I found were positive remarks mostly on sites that sell and install them. Then I came across this long thread with extreme thoughts running the gamut from great to they do nothing.
Do they make a real improvement? If so, would they be appropriate to install somewhere in my system? The system is a Meridian 506.20 CD player, Aragon 18K MkII preamp and Mccormack DNA amp. Or would other Bybee devices provide better bang for the buck if used in the AC cables or speakers cables.
If so, can someone with good soldering skills be able to add them to an amplifier, as an example, at home? Are there any very clear installation instructions available?
Thanks,

Hi stu,
On the copper wire it seems there is a silver coil wounded on a ceramic barrel : a kind of coil wounded over a special resistor?
About ceramic it makes me think the military research found the benefits of crystals...white color: quartz?
Looking in the material of the "golden ears" who are the eyes of submarines could be interesting a lot...
Who's got a submarine? Not a yellow one!
:) :) :)
Thank you for the replies. I see that the materials cost is a lot higher than it would appear when just looking at a photograph.

The coil structure is the purifier itself. The copper lead is an extension tack welded to the purifier
Ok so the lead doesn't go trough the barrel. I see Bybee did increase the contact with the ceramic barrel in using a foil, then the coil make the foil longer and once again the contact increase. The foil might use the skin effect and bringing next to the ceramic most of unwanted HF. So I think the coil is not there ONLY for inductor effect...
perhaps if you ever invented something that could make a big difference you might feel differently. otherwise you likely see it a some big rip off but given that folks think they now know everything there is about the Bybee but I bet few will actually bother to copy them. this is in no way intended as an insult to you but as an explanation add to this that few would believe that a ten cent part could do anything of note so you loose either way in away better to charge more and make a buck. Besides there is no prestige in cheap tweaks is there? Best regards Moray James.

From above it appears the materials cost is high. Maybe I am not predatory enough, but if I invented tweak that cost 10 cents, I would have trouble selling it for $500 just so people would take it seriously. Note that I do not believe that Bybee is doing this. I just could not see what the fuss was about and was hoping someone could explain it to me, which they did.

Bybee purifiers take several forms.Picture shown is his latest carbon nano tube version
Earlier models have the ceramic substrate around a .025 Large Vishay resistor.
The ceramic tube is the near superconductor.
As such, remember a superconductor is NOT a voltage enhancer, it is a current enhancer. Also remember voltage leads current by 90 degrees after leaving a transformer or other inductive source.
Bybees inherently correct this phase difference. This is evident on solid state rectication. With tube rectification, the B+ comes off the cathode (current source) and no such phase shift really exists or at least is very minimal.Bybee purifiers do not work well with tubes.
Most AC employs dropping transformers to line level ( on the pole transformer), so they work well on AC feeds.
JUST My opinion and experience
PS Older purifiers were wrapped with ERS

A difference with the unclestu kind of Z-sleeve
It seems there is a layer of dielectric between ers and other stuffs
This man seem to tell the same (dielectric layer) when he tweaks the bybees
another pic to understand construction
Wow thank you.
