Bybee Audio tweeks. IQSE

Jay23,

I still feel we were mislead with this product and hiding the battery within it is what is deceitful. And there is NO way to replace that battery without destroying the unit. The battery doesn't draw from anything except its own battery power.

Thats fine. You're entitled to your opinion.

Is the copper glued or soldered to the battery? If it's glue, it should be removable.

The crystals draw power to create their "active electric and magnetic field." This is what drains power from the internal battery. If your components use battery power, those batteries will also be drawn from, if the components are not plugged in.



tubes444,

You're "Lost in Translation."

"I highly doubt Mr. Bybee would mislead anyone"..

The fact that the description of the original QSE said it included a battery, and the iQSE was described as totally passive, (suggests) otherwise.

So what? My Clever Little Clock is battery powered but I would call it a passive device. Depends on how you define passive. The Tice Clock plugged into a wall outlet so I would tend to call that clock an active device. 

That’s what I posted earlier.. "the definition of passive".

The older (external) version is marketed as having a battery. The newer version is marketed a totally passive. There-in lies the difference by the manufacturer.

I’m just pointing out the misleading advertising from the manufacturer. Seems pretty clear to me.

I think you might be misunderstanding what I wrote a little bit. I’m saying that Mr. Bybee like me doesn’t consider that a battery powered device is necessarily an "active" device. So battery powered and active are not necessary synonymous. I describe my clock as battery powered but I don’t refer to it as active. It can be placed anywhere in the room. It’s passive. It’s not connected to the audio system anywhere, not the AC power, any cables and doesn’t interact with acoustic waves in the room.
