Stu, are you up to something, or are you a asking a simple technician grade question?

As I posted earlier, the Bybees sems to have the most dramatic effect after inductive components, like transformers and inductors. I do believe standard electronic theory has the voltage leading the current by 90 degrees. Being that I hear more detail in the lower frequencies, I simply suspect that placing the current more in phase with the voltage helps the lower frequencies more as the larger speaker drivers tend to be more current hungry.Unfortunately, I have no instrumentation to even attempt to try and measure this hypothesis, and for you doubters, please remember it is only a hypothesis. It may be totally off base and incorrect, but I have not seen any attempt to measure this, hence my question.
In most electronic design, we work primarily with voltages but I have always wondered about current. Since the EU is demanding that power factor correctors be installed in most electronic devices in the near future, quite oviously the voltage/current relationaship is quite important. There is very little I can find about the audibility of such relationships, however. If it is important for AC power, it must have similar ramifications with an AC signal.
I tried to do a search on the internet last night on elastic and inelastic electron collisions. The papers (each) would cost me more than an IC tweak for any real info. Try it yourself and see, just for fun.
From a technician's point of view, this Bybee device could not do anything like that, but from a physicist's point of view, maybe there is something to it. I can't measure it, and I don't know how to look for changes. I do know that Jack is always telling me to mount them near the inductors, but he won't tell me precisely why. It might be that the out of phase condition of the E-I flow after the inductor creates inelastic electrons or something.
