Quantum Purifiers -
Thermal noise in electronic equipment is typically created by the
excitation of phonons, which are resonances in conductors caused by the movement of electrons through the quantum well. Phonons are a type of noise in themselves; they are caused by a certain class of electrons colliding with the crystal lattice of conductors (silver, copper, etc.) through which they are being transmitted. Such phonons travel, not at the speed of light, but of sound, and therefore are instantly out of phase with the signal. Shot noise, which is generated by the operation of transistors, is similar in nature to thermal or white noise. Low-frequency (1/f) noise is always present, and increases as an inverse power of the frequency. The Bybee solution is based on principles derived from quantum mechanics, the study of how electrons behave at the subatomic level. http://www.bybeetech.com/ |
We can totally eliminate all this noise if we simply operate our
equipment at -273 C. Deacon Dave, W1MCE Roy Lewallen wrote: Egad, there's a sucker born every minute. It's stuff like this that makes venture capitalists the cynical SOBs they are.

Richard, they could be mono-reproducers. This was introduced in the 70's as a device that could faithfully take an input signal and reproduce the signal at the output with no distortion, phase shift, and a gain very nearly one. Also, there was no loss up into the MHZ region. You could take two of these remarkable devices and have a Stereo-reproducer. If you cooled a 1" piece of #12 copper to absolute-zero, you might improve on the mono-reproducer. 73 Gary N4AST |
How does the "Josephson(sp) junction" fit into this.
And wasn't it classified Top Secret back in the 50's? Just curious Bill JGBOYLES wrote: So that's what they are, two leaded absolute-zero ice cubes. Richard, they could be mono-reproducers.

I stand corrected! A little bit of web research shows that this would be
a venture capitalist's dream. I have to continually remind myself not to overestimate the golden-ear crowd -- after all, the gold-plated 8 ohm characteristic impedance speaker cables sold (and I assume still sell) like hot cakes. The placebo effect is certainly powerful, but it's possible that the "quantum purifiers" might actually do something. Rather than believe that the purveyor is actually selling components whose composition is "classified by the U.S. military", I'd be willing to bet they're some sort of more-or-less off the shelf varistor. That would flavor the music a bit, and anyone who'd just dropped 600 bucks for a pair of them would no doubt find the flavoring to be marvelous. A few minutes with a curve tracer and some web specifications should pin the source down pretty quickly. But I'm not quite 600 bucks curious. . .

Oh, I'm not correcting that statement -- except that it looks like a
whole lot more than one are being born every minute now. Roy Lewallen, W7EL Dick Carroll; wrote: Roy, I still like your first statement better :"There's one born every minute..."

Roy, I still like your first statement better :"There's one born every minute..." Here are some of the claims: "Bybee Technologies claims that the quantum filtering provided also speeds up electrons by as much as 50% and in the process selectively removes undesirable ones, thus purifying the remaining signal." The review this was taken from (SoundStage!) then goes on to tout the "damping characteristics" of the wooden box the device is housed in. I'm curious about whether the reviewer might also happen to write for the Weekly World News. Reminds me of the blind man selling pencils on the street corner for $10,000 apiece. He claimed he only needed to sell one. :-) 73, ac6xg Roy Lewallen wrote: I stand corrected! A little bit of web research shows that this would be a venture capitalist's dream.
