In Reply to: Re: AC INLINE PURIFIER WITH Bybee. posted by Tuckers on February 23, 2007 at 01:13:45:
Thanks.
This makes me think i would install it at the receptacle inside my PS Audio UO. This way, i can eliminate the need to tubing like the one in the link.
Follow Ups:
Yup, it would. I heard from an engineer who uses bybee that you should also use one on the ground leg too for ultimate sound.Let us know how it goes. I always wanted to try it, but have never ponied up the money.
I have six Bybee Line Purifiers in my three conditioners.
The photo shows my dedicated conditioner to the Sony SCD-1.
Two large Bybee's in series with Hot and Neutral lines.
Radiowonder,that's exactly what i want to see ..:) Picture is clear and great. I see you have some sort of insulation ( i guess teflon tubing?) between bybee and wire(hot and neutral).
How does it sound when you first put bybee in the line conditioner? I have never had a chance to audition it as the bybee itself is expensive... Does it remove the noise (even though i am not sure i can tell how much noise i have in my system)? Which type of lead do you use to solder this ?
"How does it sound when you first put bybee in the line conditioner? I have never had a chance to audition it as the bybee itself is expensive... Does it remove the noise (even though i am not sure i can tell how much noise i have in my system)?"You know, the one experience I had with Bybee stuff was with a friend's system. He had bought a couple of Bybee power conditioners and had one on his amps, preamp and CD player, and one on his turntable and phono stage.
I went over to his place one day for a listening session. I noticed a distinct lack of clarity in the vocals, and actually what seemed like distortion. I mentioned this to my friend, and he said he thought he had been noticing it too. We tried changing all kinds of stuff around, and nothing seemed to sort it out.
We finally tried removing the power conditioners one at a time. Removing the power conditioners cleared up the problem, and, most notably, got rid of the distortion.
I was surprised, to say the least!
Anybody else experience anything like that with the Bybee power conditioners?
Large Bybee's come with insulated leads.
Just strip and solder. I used small pieces of heat shrink over leads
after soldering.
They tend to clean up the sound,removing a level of grit.
Also they extend the bass and help with the dynamics. YMMV
They do require a break-in period.Other things in Balanced Conditioner:
Two capacitors on left side are Auricaps .47 uF 600 volts, installed at output.
One Auricaps .047 uF 600 volts, installed at input.
I added the yellow heat shrink to protect the capacitors.I also upgraded to Furutech FP-15 (cu) 15A receptacles(9-20-2006).
I use a ten amp circuit breaker/on/off switch. Digi-Key #302-1169-ND
And a Furutech Gold-plated FI-10(G) IEC inlet.Not shown in photo is:
Center bolt in Balanced Transformer was replaced with "Non-Metallic"
stainless bolt and nut. Good improvement... and cheap tweak.
AC outlet and transformer dampened for improved sound.
Thanks very much. I also upgrade receptacle in my PS audio UO to Furutech . However, i haven't changed IEC yet since it's soldered into the schema.
