Sns, I'm sorry to hear that you had trouble with the Bybees. I've heard these accounts from others, but I did not experience the same result. Mine work great. My system is ultra revealing. It consists of a Sony DVP-S9000ES SACD/CD player direct input to a David Berning MicroZOTL with NOS tubes running direct to single-driver Fostex TL speaker system. This system has huge amounts of "air" and detail. If I lost any with the Bybees, I sure didn't notice it. I specifically payed attention to air, detail, soundstage, imaging, and musically emotional involvement, as these are things I read about before trying the Bybees out. These are the only pair I ever heard, but I like them. With the inclusion of the Bybees, all I have between the output tubes and the drivers is 3 meters of speaker cable(and now the Bybees). I don't know why some systems respond differently than others. It seems strange. The ones I got were the discontinued ones with the Nordost SPM cable pigtail and Cardas spades and Cardas Gold binding posts.
What about Bybee Filters?
Any one who has used the Bybee Filters please report on your results. I'm thinking about modding my Sony DVP-S9000ES and trying to figure out which mod package to go with. Modwright highly recommend the Bybee's, but I'm skeptical. Is the powerline IEC inline filter the best bet? Or the speaker bybee? Or the IC bybee? Do you have to get them all? Which makes the most difference, and is it a good difference? Or should I just go with a higher mod package and skip the Bybee's? I am in the dark on this.
