Bybee Wire Power Purifier V 2.0

Stereo Times Most Wanted Component 2 Years Running!

"Not sure what to say… don't really want to put any one off or offend anyone, but phucking shit… you got to be kidding me?! What the hell just happened? This unit is so far down the road in going deeper into the music with more color, life, energy, presence, separation, imaging, resolution, air, light, slam, dynamics, ambiance, extension, palpability, naturalness, involvement, neutrality… gee anything else left to add… I mean really, what the hell?! This is a done deal. Forget it, here is the check." - January 2011 Review of the Bybee V2 Stealth Edition

The Bybee Power Purifier V2.0 advances the state of the art in power conditioning. Using no current limiting components, the Bybee Power Purifier achieves the once unattainable goal of extreme noise filtration and reduction without slowing or limiting current delivery to audio components that need it. The Bybee Power Purifier uses their proprietary and ultra high grade SE Quantum Purifiers inside to achieve this end. No other manufacturer comes close to this technology, and effective noise reduction without using heavy (and current limiting) chokes and transformers.

Holy s**t! Awesome product, I am three hours into playing it and I basically feel like I just bought a new stereo..." - Customer testimonial

All of this would mean nothing of course if the noise reduction also robbed the music of it's soul. This is the area where the Bybee Power Purifier excels. To be able to lower the noise floor so much, and preserve the layering, ambience, dynamics and flow of the music is what makes this power conditioner so special. For the first time, your audio system will be able to perform to its full potential with the clean, and unrestricted power flowing to the individual components from the Bybee Power Purifier.

Features:

• Chassis - Cutsom machined, aluminum chassis with black anodized top, bottom and sides with a custom milled aluminum faceplate.
• Internal wiring - Bybee has partnered with Kaplan Cable, and they have graciously agreed to allowed them to use their 10 awg wire to connect all internal components.
• AC Receptacles - We are now using the Hubbell 5262 heavy duty receptacles instead of the contractor grade receptacles previously used.
• Stock power cord - Bybee's partnership with Kaplan Cables has also allowed them to offer a much improved power cord that ships with the AC conditioner. At no extra charge, a Kaplan H.E. power cord ships with the Bybee AC conditioner. The Kaplan AC cord is constructed of the same wire used internally on the Bybee AC conditioner.
• Heavy duty 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker
• AC filtering - Now each of the four duplex receptacles has additional filtering. Lowering the noise floor further, and isolating the receptacles from one another

Dagogo's August 2009 review

Enjoy the Music's Superior Audio review of the Bybee AC Conditioner

Ultimately, value in a component depends on the values of the listener. What this Power Purifier does — indeed, what every Bybee-based product I have ever used does — is to move the sound of the system away from sounding "electronic" — i.e., affected by the various noises and distortions that to some extent afflict every audio system -- and toward a purer, more naturally musical presentation. With the Bybee Wire Power Purifier in place, no matter what musical genre I am exploring, I am drawn more deeply into the experience than is possible when the Power Purifier is removed. That makes an enthusiastic recommendation a no-brainer.

In the right system, the Bybee AC conditioner is phenomenal. The Bybee possesses the ability to breathe new life into your audio system. Incredible dynamic bass, more transparent mids and highs, and a more holographic soundstage that is wider and deeper. All this with absolutely no compression of dynamics! Call us to demo one in your system.

This is the replacement for the original Bybee/Curl Pro AC conditioner. So what improvements are there in the Bybee Wire Power Purifier? The original Bybee/Curl Pro's main components were the large Bybee Quantum Purifiers — still widely used by OEM manufacturers, modification services and DIY'ers, this new design replaces those original devices with Jack Bybee's 'Super Effect' Internal AC Bullets. The same devices used in Bybee's renouned Speaker and IC Bullets. While these new devices physically resemble the original large purifiers, they are completely different internally, and exponentially better sounding. Built with gold, silver and platinum in key locations. They incorporate proprietary Bybee innovations in power factor correction, increasing operational efficiency, and musical signal time alignment functionality that reduces nonlinearities between the transmission speeds of low and high frequencies.

Customer Testimonial

...Initial impression is excellent. It's taken me a long time and lots of effort to get my system where it is and my rule on adding new components is that I won't even consider one unless it's a "Holy Shit" improvement.  This definitely falls in that category.  Everything is MUCH clearer, tighter, more resolute.  It certainly has made the most impact of any conditioner I've had (including Walker, PS Audio, Audience, Acoustic Revive, RG, Running Springs)..."

So Will the Bybee Power Purifier work with the existing Bybee products in my system?

Umm, YES! and how. The Bybee Power Purifier synergizes very well with the Speaker and IC bullets in our experience. If your gear has the Copper or Gold Bybee and Bybee Slipstream product inside, you may consider removing them, as the new quantum purification is so superior that the older products may ultimately inhibit the full performance of the new Bybee Super Effect Purifiers.

Does powering the Bybee Wire Power Purifier with aftermarket Power Cords affect the sound of the AC Conditioner?

Yes, the power cord you use to power the Bybee Power Purifier will ultimately affect the tone and character of your entire system. Customers have reported that the Kaplan HS Power cords, as well as the JPS Aluminata (which we do carry, Call us) works very well with the Bybee AC conditioner.

Are dynamics limited by the Bybee AC conditioner?

I will let Wayne Donnely answer that with this quote from his Superior Audio review:

I have heard a lot of power conditioners over the years. Most of them have truncated dynamics to some degree, especially at the louderend of the scale. The Bybee/Curl Pro has in this respect been the finest-sounding such device I have ever used, especially in itsupdated form. The new Bybee Wire Power Purifier maintains that distinction." (full review)

How long is the Break in time?

The Bybee Power Purifier needs a substantial amount of time to break in.  We recommend the unit will need at least 300 hours of use on it before it reaches a fully broken in state.  If you leave the unit unpowered for more than a week, it will need 24 hours or so to warm back up again. If you move it to a new system, it will need 6-8 hours to settle in.

Auditioning

Call or email us to arrange an in-home audition of a fully broken in Bybee Power Purifier. We pay for shipping to you, you are responsible for return shipping. Please plan to have the Power Purifier in your system 2 days before the actual audition in order for it to settle in properly. If you need to keep the conditioner 1 or 2 weeks, that is perfectly fine, just let us know so we know how to schedule auditions that will be following yours.
