Bybee offers a money back guarantee. If you can't hear a difference you can return it for a refund. If you can't hear a difference, why bother testing? If you do hear an improvement testing is of little import.
StuPS: I have sold and installed Bybee units for a good number of years, Only one customer asked for a refund and that was when he installed the units in a used CD player that he didn't particularly like the sound of. The sound changed, but he still didn't like it so he asked for a refund. He owns other Bybee devices, however.

Try substituting a small value choke, about 1 microhenry, in place of the Bybee units and make a comparison. Keep the visuals out of the equation and see what happens.
But I guess that wouldn't be good for sales now would it.

or at least something similar, as I am not sure of the exact value of the choke I used (it was a while ago). Sonic effect is totally different. Also tried a simple resister in lieu of the purifier also, with little to no effect. As far as my sales went, I installed the units in the components, where the customer would not normally see them, under the covers and sometimes under the circuit boards. Their positive evaluation was not due to a casual visual presentation
I do admit that simply soldering in the Bybees does not necessarily guarantee an audible improvement, however. You have to know where to place them and they work best when situated after an inductive component.
Stu, what you say makes sense to me. Bybees sometimes seem to remove too much from the music, but they do more than they would appear to do if you just consider simple measurements. Measurement wise, by technician grade tools, they just 'look' to be a small value resistor with the residual inductance that is associated with the resistor leads and perhaps the resistor body.
So comparing apples to oranges makes sense to you? Are you compenstated well enough for encouraging folks to polish turds?
Get real.

If your not sure of the value of the choke than all bets are off. They must be under one microhenry, and if they are on a core, the core must not saturate under load conditions.
