Guidelines & Tips
All
purifiers are passive and they are not directional.
The
amount of voltage passing through a purifier is inconsequential.
More important is the amount of current. AC Purifiers
are designed to withstand AC spikes and are rated for
up to 20 amps; the Large purifiers are rated for 15
amps, and the small slipstream purifiers for 4.3 amps.
(These ratings reflect the capacity of the leads).
As
a general rule, our Quantum Purifiers have proven effective
in numerous locations for every type of audio/video
component and loudspeaker. Among the most common uses
are AC power, audio/video inputs and outputs, and digital
inputs and outputs, and loudspeaker upgrades. A good
general principle for all installations is to place
the Bybee Quantum Purifier as near as possible to the
destination end of the AC or signal path.
The
Large Purifiers can be used for AC applications where
an unexpected spike is not anticipated. To avoid damage
from spikes, the AC Bullet/Purifier should be considered.
Large Purifiers are acceptable for most all other signal
applications. Where space is limited, for instance,
with some source components, the small purifiers may
be substituted as long as the current flows through
them and it does not exceed 4.3 A. It is typically more
convenient to use small purifiers in modifying analog
and digital circuits, although large purifiers may be
used in those applications as well, if space permits.
Audio/Vidio
RCA Inputs and Outputs
For optimum performance improvement with RCA jacks,
connect a purifier at (or as close as physically possible
to) the positive terminal of the jack, and a second
purifier on the return leg. Treating only the positive
leg will also enhance performance, but to a lesser degree.
For XLR balanced input jacks, both hot and neutral must
be treated. For XLR output jacks, best results will
come from additionally treating the ground — although
here too, the purifier for the ground may be omitted,
with some lessening of the performance improvement.
The
best results come from treating inputs and outputs.
However, if that approach is too expensive, excellent
results can still be achieved. As a rule, placing the
purifiers at inputs is slightly more effective than
putting them on outputs. Note: When upgrading a preamplifier,
the input modification can be placed after the selector
switch, so that the input signals from all source components
get the benefit.
Speaker Upgrades
The following installation options are listed in order
of improvement for speaker installations. Option 1 is
the best internal speaker modification possible using
Bybee products. Option 4 will still produce significant
improvements.
Option
1) The Ultimate Improvement.
-One (1) Internal Speaker Bullet installed at, or as
near to, the positive (+) tab of each transducer; and
one (1) Regular Large Purifier installed at, or as near
to, the negative (-) tab of each transducer.
Option
2) The Next Best Improvement.
One (1) Internal Speaker Bullet installed at, or as
near to, the positive (+) tab of each transducer; and
one (1) Regular Large Purifier installed between the
cross-over and binding post on the negative (-) leg.
Option
3) Excellent Results - Speaker Bullet Kit (set of 4)
One (1) Internal Speaker Bullet installed between the
cross-over and binding post on the positive (+) leg;
and one (1) Regular Large Purifier installed between
the cross-over and binding post on the negative (-)
leg.
Option
4) Good Results.
One (1) Internal Speaker Bullet installed on the positive
(+) leg only, between the crossover and the binding
post.
Bybee products have ben around for a long time, so many
of the review are somewhat older. However the improvements
they bring are still the same and in most cases they
are even bigger.
