I haven't tried any of the other less expensive filters options mentioned here, but I'm assuming that they all are most certainly effective to some degree, as is the Bybee product. If you find a less expensive solution, good for you, go for it!!! I only have experience with the Bybee Speaker Bullets, and I have been extremely satisfied with them. Those who believe that there has to be something wrong with your speakers if you use these types of tweaks on them, most assuredly have zero experience with them. Speaker filters of this type are no different from other tweaks used on your components, such as, isolation feet, pods, cones, etc. Same concept. This is why you set your stock power cords aside and spend so much cash on "Aftermarket power cords," upgraded interconnect, speaker cables, and so on. They all change (Tweak) the sound of your system to some degree. I use various tweaks throughout my entire system and they all serve their purpose in the overall improvement in sound quality of my system. As an over 25 year Audiophile, I'm so glad I was able to personally discover and understand the value and usefulness of various types of tweaks for my audio system.
Bybee Technologies Crystal Series Plug-in Speaker Bullets.
I was first introduced to the Bybee Speaker Plug-in Bullets about about 12 years ago (the original versions) by one of my local High End Audio dealers. After hearing the simply astonishing effect they had on speakers at the dealer's, I purchased a set, plugged them into my speakers, and they have never ceased to amaze since (I recently purchased the current Crystal Series Version). Stunning improvement in: detail retrieval, ambiance and spatial presentation, vocal and instrumental color, transient and dynamic impact, and harmonic completeness. The Speaker Bullets will effectively filter out most all of the hash and jitter at the speaker terminals in order to create an extremely blacker background in the music reproduction resulting in all the improvement described above.. No snake-oil here. These bad boys work, and are definitely for real. They act in the same manner, and are just as effective on all speakers, no matter the brand or the price tag. The Bullets aren't cheap, but they are miracle workers, indeed, and (IMHO) worth every penny. I'm so glad that I was one of the fortunate few that was in the right place, at the right time, to be exposed to the Bybee Speaker Bullets. I will never, ever, be without them in my system.

I looked at the Bybee website; these look to be some kind of adapter that sits between your speaker cable and the speaker. But what are they? Do they have internal electronics? Capacitance or resistance? Some kind of filter? If you hook these up to a scope is there a difference in the signal waveform? What kind of "jitter and hash" do they remove? Not saying they don't work, just that I'm curious what they are doing to the electrical signal. |
Like usual, BS of the highest order. It is sad that we fall for this sh-t. It is sadder that these a--holes take advantage of people who do not know better and think they hear a difference which is an illusion. Everyone needs to learn that they are not in control of what they think they hear. Our intellects sit a top a bio electro mechanical device over which we have painfully little control. It does what it was programmed to do in spite of us. |
"...at the retail price of $3,000 (per set of 4), with two sets required for bi-wire loudspeakers."
@mijostyn 😂😂🤣 A-Freaking-Men. I do my best to ignore the ongoing debate on this site regarding what some consider legitimate products and what others consider "snake oil". To each their own, and live and let live is the ethos I have tried to live my life by for nearly 60 years. But even this one makes me chuckle. $3,000 to $6,000 ON TOP OF THE PRICE PAID FOR SPEAKERS -- absolutely f**king 1st World Problems.
I mean, what price range of speakers are these "magic bullets" marketing towards -- $25K, $50K, $100K?? It has to be a ridiculously high starting price, otherwise the pricing scale would make even less sense than it already does. Surely someone doesn't buy $10K speakers and add an extra $3K or $6K...you might as well shop in the $15K to $20K speaker range.
Alas, all I ask is one thing -- to those music lovers buying these "magic bullets", please include me in your Last Will and Testament. Assuming you have any money left over.
