An honest question

I had already stated that the Bybees have the greatest effect on sound when placed after inductive devices. I am not concerned with the inductance of the Bybee itself. I am asking the question: could the Bybee alter the current/voltage phase relationships of the preceding inductive device and if you have tested for this hypothesis. The inductance of the Bybee, being minimal as per your testing, would not affect the phase relationship by adding inductance which would, in my thinking, actually increase the phase shift, at least from the basic physics I have taken on the university level.

I asked a fairly simple question. It is of no relevance to your honor or integrity if you haven't tested for this hypothesis. I am not trying to impugn your intentions or observations. I am asking because I believe most designers work with voltage amplification and often neglect the effects of current and its relationship to voltage. The fact that power factor correction is growing in importance means that we may have to consider that equivalent in the generation of an active AC signal. It is much more difficut with a continuously variable AC signal, though. I know of no work that analyzes this voltage/amperage relationship, and I believe the instrumentation required would be quite costly. It would be no shame to say that you haven't done so.

You do not know the purpose of the ceramic tube, and I am simply making an observation from my usage. If you, in all your wisdom, can proclaim that there is absolutely no way that any of the components used in the construction of the Bybee can alter this relationship, just say so.

When I got the first units in, I was very sceptical myself. But I tried them and heard a difference. With more experimentation, I got better in determining where best to get their maximum benefits. It wasn't exactly easy and Jack does not hand out any installation manuals. My observations are simply that, and based on my experience. and through a lot of trial and error.

But if I may make one observation, Jack is still selling his devices with a guarantee and you are not. Perhaps there may be a sucker born every minute, but he sells and you are not, and that says something, especially since he did give me a 100% money back guarantee.
