Is that what we call a skipping rope over here? :)

It is indeed. I can't WAIT to find out how much they intend to charge for this rubbish.

These might have been seen before, but IMHO as an exemplar of unadulterated shite, this take some beating...

Some complete tosser wrote:Jack Bybee’s Quantum Purifiers were originally developed for military applications, many of which are still highly classified. These amazing devices have been used for years by knowledgeable audio and video enthusiasts to reach levels of signal purity and transparency unattainable prior to their introduction.
Their brother, also without blinking and without a hint of bollocks wrote:Within any playback system, musical and visual information is transmitted by electrons flowing through conductors. As electrons interact with the conductive materials of cables and circuits, very low-level (quantum) noises are generated. As quantum noise energy accumulates in the propagating signal, low-level details pertaining to ambience, soundstage, timbre, dynamics, color fidelity and picture resolution are obscured, robbing the presentation of vividness and life.
Not satisfied, they then wrote:Bybee Quantum Purifiers operate on the quantum mechanical level to regulate the flow of electrons that make up the signal (picture a metering light regulating freeway traffic flow). Current flow within the Quantum Purifier is unimpeded and ideal (think of the unencumbered flow of traffic on a lightly traveled expressway). During transit through the Quantum Purifier, quantum noise energy is stripped off the electrons, streamlining their flow through ensuing conductors. Unwanted quantum noise energy dissipates as heat within the Quantum Purifier rather than emerging as a layer of contamination residue over the audio/video information.

The benefits of this process extend beyond the physical length of the Quantum Purifier. As electrons speed through the purifier, a “slipstream” effect is formed which facilitates current flow in the surrounding conductors of the playback system. Introducing Bybee Quantum Purification into the electron path reduces quantum noise and increases signal velocity, resulting in performance improvement beyond what is attainable by any cable alone, no matter how well designed.
This astonishing pantheon of drivel continues, but I cannot cut-n-paste more without being physically sick.

It is nonsense, but it's a damned site less dangerous than the beliefs some folks hold 8)

steady on, he might have been referring to Kim Jong Un or even Donald Trump.....wouldn't make him an odd person in my book.

You think that is likely, remember there is history. He left calling me all the insults he could, and now he is back. Doesn't take Sherlock Holmes.

It's nothing to do with you Princess, so don't fret.

I didn't say it was, what I said is you have history of doing arse things, so just wondered who is getting up your arse now. As I said you are very strange fellow. So who is it, lets have your bile, or is that and the insults just reserved for me.

Have you got any plans of contributing to audio discussions, Richard, or is it just going to be this sort of crap ?

Who started the off topic crap them - me!

Get on his back then.

You have had loads of audio stuff from me, you must be blind not to see it. Just look at the insults this arse leaves me and calls me Princess, which is laughable and the level of the school playground.

Nick wouldn't play with him and boot me so he flounced off like a schoolgirl, now he is back :roll:

You lot really need to look at where the crap starts.
