Jack Bybee was able to develop a successful solution to allow sonar listeners to more reliably detect enemy submarines, using technology he developed that was kept classified by the US Navy for a number of years. So what do you do to monetize this technology when you go to the private sector? Well, the so-called Bybee Purifiers may or may not do anything for your system. Where they seem to matter is where you have very high bandwidth amplification, where high-frequency harmonics have the potential to impact the sonic spectrum. Digital circuitry in particular provides a certain level of nastiness that good design can mitigate, but the Bybee parts in the right application can provide a perceptible improvement. My electrostatic speakers turn out to be good high-frequency receivers. They in turn feed back some of this into my power amps -- or they used to. I perceived this as a certain slight veiled muddiness in the sound. I tried various approaches, such as ferrite clamps (deadened the sound) or sobel filters, but the Bybees seem to do the best job. On the other hand, they don't make a hill of difference in my living room system where I have vintage tube amplification & dynamic speaker drivers.
