Well, the scientific method dictates that one must have an hypothesis that one is trying to prove/disprove by performing detailed experiments & measurements. Unfortunately, I did not see anywhere in that thread where someone had made a hypothesis regarding 'how' the Bybee 'improves/affects' hi-fi performance, let alone how empirical measurements would demonstrate anything one way or the other. One clever fellow did repeatedly point out that theoretically, the signal from the source was the desired signal, and to simplify, the Bybee simply can't 'undo' errors introduced in the chain. But maybe what he didn't appreciate is that the Bybee actually works by tunneling the electrons from the actual recording gear into your gear, taking the 'source media' right out of the loop! (I think it works somewhat like Douglas Adams' improbability drive.....) So I think my point is, one can only work with the claims made by the vendor, and if in fact the vendor can not reproducably demonstrate his own claims regarding his product, he is engaging in fraudulent practices. I'm not a lawyer, but I know there are Consumer Protection laws, and I'm surprised they are not more visibly enforced in the 'audiophile' marketplace. Oh well, 'fools and their money'.... I have quantum hair tonic available for sale - it comes from my kitchen tap, which is located in a quantum wormhole to the parallel universe where you have hair! I've noted that the Bybee's don't seem to be patented (too much 'proprietary knowledge' must be divulged), and also that there is a nice disclaimer on the website "All specifications are subject to change without notice" (although not much of note is published). Oh well, that's enough ranting - it must be the rainy weather....
